Some semi-informed speculation from the Financial Times:<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The name and functions of the new machine are not known, but intense speculation and leaks from component manufacturers and business allies have pointed to a number of expected characteristics.<\/p>\n

The consensus is that the tablet will have a large screen, perhaps 10 inches on the diagonal, and run the same operating system as the iPhone and iPod, as opposed to the Mac computers.<\/p>\n

That means that it would be able to handle many of the more than 100,000 applications \u2013 or apps \u2013 that are designed to run on the smaller gadgets. A touchscreen would be a significant feature.<\/p>\n

Video game manufacturers expect the device to have strong appeal for their audience.<\/p>\n

The iPhone and iPod are already challenging portable products from Sony\u00a0and other console makers as popular gaming devices.<\/p>\n

Apple has been in discussions with cable network channels about carrying bundles of video for a monthly fee.<\/p>\n

Book and magazine publishers, meanwhile, have been hoping that Apple might enliven their electronic formats.<\/p>\n

Time Warner recently showed off a conceptual version of an electronic, full-colour Sports Illustrated magazine that allowed for fast-flipping, zooming and other functions in need of support from new hardware.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don’t Vook now, but dedicated device makers might want to slash prices on standing inventory — and cancel those reorders. AT&T told us yesterday that they’re going to be in the game, so figure 3\/3.5\/4G wireless plus Wi-Fi. This is going to rock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
