As a Mac aficionado who switched my office to Macs in 2008, I’m kinda sorta interested in what appears to be the unveiling of Apple’s new tablet on January 27th (the same day, incidentally, the President delivers the State of the Union address). I’m still trying to figure out what real-world advantages this tablet will have over a standard issue MacBook Pro or an iPhone. It may end up having the same kind of impact as the Macbook Air which is to say, very little. Lots of folks bought the Air as much for its novelty as anything else, but the honeymoon was short-lived. It was underpowered and in need of a few extra ports.
Still, I’m looking forward to tablet-mania. Even if it’s a dud, Apple makes beautifully-designed products so we’re likely in for some really nice eye candy.
