Yeah, Apple's touch screen tablet has been rumoured for a long time. Expect it to cost 2-3 times more than the N810 though, or even N900 for that matter. I'd not seen those new iPhone specs though... juicy stuff. I can't believe people are buying iPhones knowing that a new and better one will be out in a years time.

I's also to big (at least from the pictures I've seen). Not pocketable, it's about the size of some netbooks out there.

I'd love to see something like this one:
MacBook Touch
But I doubt it'll happen :-)
Otherwise, even just a plain tablet, but one that has video out and USB host ports (so you can connect it to a KVM) would be good enough. As long as it runs desktop OS X, and not iphone os x ... though, desktop OS X with a mobile GUI would be good.

You'd have to have a G4 to be excluded now in that market. In the internet tablet portion - it's one update (770 had OS2005 then 2006... end; N810 had OS2008 and then Diablo... end) - and that's it.
And that's poor. So I'd welcome anything from Apple - I know it'll be supported for more than one major official update.

You could always try getting an Atom based MID and try to hackintosh it ;-)

Haha, true. Or install Ubuntu.
I'm happy with the tablet actually, my only gripe with it is that I can't use it out and about (no internet connection). And it won't be till another year or two till I acquire a phone with a data plan (Android). Of course in a year or two more advancements will happen
