apple tablet

You may have heard – maybe not – but people who are familiar with the Apple Parts supply lines say that Apple has ordered completely new parts for what is considered to become the Apple Tablet. Rumors say that it will feature a 9 and some odd inch display and touch interface. We’re quite familiar with the Snow Leopard Beta and every update has new features that would tie-in perfectly with a tablet like device. For example, it’s becoming easier and easier to do things with gestures instead of changing settings or using your mouse in complicated manners.

The rumors have been spinning for a couple years, even before we started this blog a year ago… but it appears that there are some solid leads running around at the moment – solid enough for analysts to declare that we’ll see this device before the Christmas shopping season hits.

Between my iPhone 3GS 32GB and my MacBook Pro (the real one – not the crappy rebranded MacBooks that apple just released) I don’t see a need for a tablet device. However, I didn’t see a need for an iPhone at first – look at me now, I write for a blog that’s devoted specifically to them. Funny how it all turns out.

Anyways, if these rumors do turn out to be true, we’ll get our hands on one and continue in the Cocoa Touch coverage. After all, CTA isn’t just iPhones… it’s everything that has to do with Cocoa Touch.

By the way, CTA turns 1 year old on Sunday. Anyone have ideas for a celebration? Going along with the fun news, I was recently hired by TUAW as one of their newest bloggers. We’re still working out the contract, but I’m hoping that I’ll be able to keep writing here and at my new post without any conflicts of interest. You’ll still get my twitter updates at least!
