Question Rumor: Apple "Tablet Mac," coming this fall.

Jason O'Grady over at ZDNet posted a blog today referencing a 12" or 13" Apple "Tablet Mac" as being announced officially by Apple around this fall; September or October, to be precise. With this rumor, he cites a "little birdie" who has supposedly come through for him in the past but puts it out there that this is ultimately speculation for the time being. Go check out his post and see what you think: Click here.

Ohhh, I do like the look of that, obviously that could easily be a faked image, the res is a bit high don't you think?

Yeah very true, I just woke up lol, 7:52 PM not AM but PM here, eep, I have school in 2 days lol.

That does look pretty fake but even if it did look real, that would be silly to put a screen res as what is shown (IMHO) because how are you meant to read text? Don't tell me you have to double tap and zoom, imagine trying to work in photoshop no keyboard shortcuts... NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo...........! lol

That's an ASUS, but what I mean is, is Apple also creating something like this?

oh, sorry, I thought you said that is what you'd think it'd look like.
Nobody knows but I hope so, even though I wouldn't buy one, they are still pretty cool!
