What Apple's next device could be like

Hi all -

I'm sure we are not alone in this vision but I think a lot of these devices (tablets) would sell in 2010.

• Basically just make the iphone but bigger
  
• Remove the dialer but keep the wireless
• Support syncing, like iphone if wanted
  
• Make it notepad size, 8 x 11.5 with a iphone-like multi-touch screen
• Portion (or all) of the screen is see-through capable for scanning, camera, identifying things in the environment, etc
  
• No hard keyboard only soft; all screen except simple buttons
  
• Make it a windowed and allow multiple apps to run at once
• Have ALL iphone apps be usable - presto 100,000+ apps
  
• Increase processor speed and RAM capacity accordingly
• Hit the $1000 price ceiling and drop to $800 in 12 months
• Include character recognition so you can write on it
• Bluetooth with the iphone to provide co-joined devices - one device could leverage the other in functionality including phone, processor, RAM and display. Make the two devices extend each other. Build from iphone, not from Mac.
  
• Include following ports: Ethernet, two USB 3.0, cinema display, headphone
• Include camera with two lenses - one front, one back
• Include microphone and speakers
  
• Not a PC, not a Mac, not an iphone, not a cheap notebook -> convergence

Just an idea.

And others have also had this idea.

Good quotes on leadership

"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it… anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."  (Douglas Adams)
