If you were online at all yesterday, you likely heard about Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote speech. Now that Apple has pulled out of other conferences (such as MacWorld), fans have an even higher expectation of what the company will announce during its own events. Just last month, fans speculated that the keynote would feature everything from the announcement of an iPhone/Mac tablet to Steve Jobs’ early return to the company.
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?
