If the Apple Tablet is true…

If it’s true and exists – will i need one? Probably not. Will i buy one? I probably would.

I would want a decent eBook reader to finally replace actual books. And the offering of books should be sufficient ofcourse. Like, every proper book of the past 20 years with more to come. Unlike the video store which still is not worldwide and still isn’t compelling to me IF it were available to me.
Hell, if the software offering is good and the iPhone OS, if that’s what’s it going to run, gets fixed in many ways to work more like OS X i might even consider dropping my MacBook from the line of macs i have.

Software wise?
iPhone OS, which should be rebranded into Mobile OS. Larger keyboard, maybe a numpad on it in horizontal view. Wifi synching and not just to Mobile me, but to my LAN with iTunes or iSync. File browsing capability to some extend. To more easily browse files you make on the device. Like a home folder with a Documents, Images, Downloads folder to start with. iWork should fully work on the device.

Hardware?
Camera on the front. Wifi 11n Networking. 480×720 resolution on a display that’s 4 times the size as the iPhone. 2x as wide and high screen as the iPhone. Touchscreen. USB connectivity like the iPhone has. Bluetooth which allows headsets, mice and keyboards. One USB 2 port for a USB drive. One built-in speaker like the MacBook Air has.

I won’t care for…
3G, the market here is fucked up for it anyway, poor coverage for everyone, high prices for everyone. It’s not worthy yet.

And probably some other things i can’t think of right now…
