Jus as I suspected apple is makin a tablet device! Yessssssss!
Apple is making a tablet? Wha…?
Get ready for a “game changer” newspapers and magazines rejoice!
Max Wang?
Wasn’t he in “Enter the Dragon-Lady”?
Apple’s Q1 2010 began October 1, 2009.
They mean calendar year, not fiscal year, silverhawk.
But this is confirmation on a screen size.
Foxconn, eh? Isn’t that the manufacturer where the one worker “committed suicide” over a lost iPhone prototype? I can’t recall. If so, I guess Apple is not too pissed.
I think Max Wang was in “Game of Depth”
The million dollar question: Will it (also) run productivity apps such as iWork?? Apple, please make it multi-purpose!!!
It’s the iBook and it will not be a game changer — it will be an industry changer.
HEY!
In the Apple store, the Mac mini is now: “Ships: 3-5 business days”
It was 1-3 days.
I already read about this a while ago (below) but Foxconn confirmed?
