January 22, 201016 yr comment_318100 The Apple Tablet Interface Must Be Like This - apple tablet - Gizmodo Interesting article from Gizmodo. Great article! I'm very interested to see what this device will be like. I am still using an old Palm TX for scheduling, contacts, notes, and medical programs. Its screen is getting old and less responsive, and the battery starting to die, but I don't want to buy an expensive new Palm TX or pay $299 to get it fixed since it is a dying (or already dead) OS. I lust after an iTouch, but I MUST be able to use a physical keyboard because I routinely enter quick sentences here and there as I update patient info while I'm on the phone or after a patient encounter (I touch type very quickly, but thumb type horribly). I also work at two offices, and sometimes enter info from home or on the road, so need it to be very portable. I still write paper notes in the office, but in the future will likely switch to electronic health records kept in the cloud. I have a colleague who as of a year ago still carried around a Newton, he loved it so much! Most of the med students carry an iPhone/iTouch, but they don't need to type on a keyboard like I do. Nothing that I know of quite fits the bill, but I am hoping this will! Report
January 22, 201016 yr comment_318102 I wouldn't hold your breath for a physical keyboard on the device itself. I do hope that you will be able to use a physical keyboard either wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired via a dock of some kind. But it wouldn't surprise me if even that wasn't an option. Report
January 22, 201016 yr comment_318104 Apple already makes a perfectly nice Bluetooth keyboard that I'm typing on right now. Seems crazy that they wouldn't just let the Tablet pair with that if you want to. But, as Thrice says, they go their own way. Report
January 22, 201016 yr comment_318123 If the ~$1000 price point is correct it better be able to pair with a damn keyboard. Report

January 23, 201016 yr comment_318138 Even though my hopes are low, I'd really hope for a modified OS X rather than something based on the iPhone OS. I love to have a certain feel of control with my computers and I think OS X is the perfect blend of control, simplicity and real-world usability. I wouldn't really care for a full-size iPhone. (I say this now, watch me with my tablet in two months ) Report
January 23, 201016 yr comment_318145 If they price it for $1,000 I'd be worried it could fail like Windows Tablet PC where the tablets were more expensive than a full laptop with the same performance. At $1,000 many people would take a $999 white Macbook instead. I'd like to see a $699 price point, or less, but $799 may not be unreasonable unless it's not much more useful than an over sized Touch. Report
January 23, 201016 yr comment_318148 Ok, let's say I'd prefer a modified version of the real OS X rather than a stupid-people-proof version of OS X then. Report
January 23, 201016 yr comment_318150 I think Apple is due for a FAIL, and the form factor here presents a bunch of challenges. I like Apple and use its products, but Monkey say iTabletJesus is false prophet. Report
