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.
