[TANE]

[Snelvuur]

[evja78]

Can´t wait until next week. Let´s just hope it is the tablet announcement and not another device apple may still have up their sleaves. I am not waiting for an iRonic or itoothbrush.

According to Appleinsider, this is the mockup that comes closest to what it'll actually look like:

Two things will be a big challenge. Capacitive screen: this will be one of the largest if apple is going to use that. Oled screen: the biggest available version is 15" with price of 2000 euro. Sony version 13" 4000 euro. So Oled will be no option in the first version.

Iphone 4G will be one of the new products that is going to use oled. Other new futures for the iphone: LTE networking, multitasking, more memory, higher cpu speed touch interface skin, mini USB...
Conference will start 27/1 19:00h dutch time

who will buy it? common group shopping ?.....

[TANE]

maybe two..

[Snelvuur]

only a few things left on my "what i want to know and how" list..

a) will there be like a wallmount thingy coming out? i mean the keyboard stand looks nice too.. so maybe?
b) where do you put the power in? if its on the side, its ugly on the wall..
c) if its on the side, then we need to get that guy that made the custom fronts to make a nice one for the apple ipad hehe

and if its that good then 2 would be nice indeed..

i rather want some wallmount because its just also really handy to take with you

a) Wouldn't count on that. Is not ment to put on a wall. You will need to be creative there.
b) Power goes over the 30 pins connector, probably the same as for iPod and iPhone. Large (wide) connector but very thin cable.

[TANE]

I will go for a stainless steel fram for wall mount.
Power will be not that big problem.
