Apple's New Product

Today, Apple will be unveiling its new product that has much buzz around it. Many people have speculated that the new device will be a a portable touch screen "tablet" computer. This gives the impression that it will most likely run alot like an iPod. Although nothing, not even the name of the device, has been confirmed, many names have been suggested from the public. Some of these names include "iTablet", "iBook", "iSlate", and "iPad". Although not much is known about the operating system that will be used, it obviously will not just be a MacBook revision. Apple's CFO, Peter Oppenheimer, says it “contains technologies that our competition will not be able to match” and “software is the key ingredient”. With this quote, and after seeing how the iPhone and iTouch have revolutionized the world of technology, Apple's new product is sure to turn heads.

Predicted price: $500-$2000.
