The Apple iTablet (or iBook): I’m Ready For You Now!
Remember all the fuss about this patent filed by Apple?
People saw this patent and immediately assumed that Apple was ready to release an iTablet computer. It didn’t help that these drawings from the patent LOOKED like a tablet PC.
There were rumors that they were making a big iPod Touch. Some people called it the iBook. Others called it an iTablet. I don’t care what they call it. I’m ready for it now.
When I saw all of the posts about this patent from Apple, I shrugged my shoulders and thought, “Huh? Who’d want a huge iPod Touch?!”
Umm… That would be ME.
Now that I am doing ALL of my reading on my iPhone, the idea of having a huge iPod Touch is quite appealing now. It’s part of the reason I’m attracted to the Amazon Kindle. Except if Apple made a reader, it would be awesome!
Hey, Barnes & Noble? Remember when I said that you couldn’t tempt me to buy an eBook reader from you? Yeah, I was wrong. If your unnamed device manufacturer is Apple, I’m SO there!
