TechVi host and videographer extraordinaire Randall Bennett invited me to participate in a discussion on recent rumors about a new device from Apple. I appeared on today’s episode of TechVi along with CNET journalist Erica Ogg. We talked about the rumored Mac tablet, a gadget that Apple may offer by 2010 that will compete against netbooks in the $500 to $700 price range. Clues pointing to the Mac tablet include numerous patents, information leaks throughout the supply chain, a rumored relationship with Verizon and some vague language from the upper echelons of Apple. Many tech journalists (including myself) think it’s only a matter of time before we see this new device. The questions we have now are on the details — will it have a full operating system or will it end up being an iPod Touch on steroids? And if it turns out to be a more robust version of the iPod Touch, is that a bad thing?
