Re: Apple Tablet
After years of admining various forms of Mac and MacOS I can safely say I hate the OS, I find Apple's business practices worse than Microsoft's in some cases and I'd be happy if the entire range of desktops and laptop fucked off and left me alone.
However my iPhone is my baby. The single best phone I've ever owned. If Apple can take that and bundle it into an improved tablet form they've got a sale from me. For god's sake I've been planning which £4.99 classic Doctor Who stories I was going to watch on it first and I fucking hate classic Doctor Who.
But MacOS X can fuck off and die. Just so we're clear on that.

As long as I don't have to look at the back end they could power my iPhone with dried turds and string.

Re: Apple Tablet
So stellar profits and final confirmation from the man himself today " "The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we're really excited about." Hoorah 
iPad everytime - said it would be that weeks ago here and I reckon I'm still bang on.

I'm already considering which My Little Pony sticker to stick on the back of mine.
Justified and Ancient.

I want to see some seriously warped shooters from Yak on this
A full size Geo-Defense and Pac-Man CE would be nice too especially with a Bluetooth or wifi joystick peripheral

Re: Apple Tablet
Assuming it has the same accelerometer functionality as the iPhones, I'll just settle for some sort of Tempest

Re: Apple Tablet
It has to come with a full screen recording app. Just imagine the showboating on a gaming site for the tablet
Or the tutorials that you could download for say a DJ app.

Re: Apple Tablet
I like OSX despite Apple's dubious business practices, but whether my next machine will be one really hinges on my treatment via Applecare. My iMac has been sat doing nothing in their retail store awaiting repair since the 15th, they refuse to give any status updates (but I managed to squeeze out of them the fact that the replacement parts are there, and have been there for a while) and "it'll be done when it's done" - much like Duke Nukem Forever, then.
It's just really frustrating being left in the dark when with a PC I'd have just whipped the PSU out and thrown another in within a day. Not to mention anything of the MBP fan situation."Well it is a bit out of the ordinary having 2 repairs at once" (that is an actual quote). I accept that the idea of them replacing the fans same day as eventually picking up the iMac is a bit unreasonable if they have such a high workload, but I really hope to know where I stand. A "yes" or "no" will do, as opposed to "can't tell you or I'd have to kill you, it's classified". If I hadn't been sold 2 defective products it wouldn't be a problem, and if they hadn't kept reducing quality over the past few years maybe the repair people wouldn't be overworked...
