Apple Tablet has “A Good Bit of New Sexy To It”

According to Dan Frommer over at The Business Insider:

Some fresh Apple tablet gossip from an industry source who tells us they have seen the OS: (Not the device.)

• It’s “pretty” — obviously.
• “The UI has a good bit of new sexy to it.”
• “It’s a big iPhone, but it’s not just a big iPhone.”

This goes along with previous reports and speculation that the tablet has a different UI than the iPhone or Mac. Some reports have gone so far as to say there could be a “steep learning curve” for the tablet user interface.

We doubt Steve Jobs would ever release something that’s hard to use. But we are curious how typing will be set up — thumbs, full hands, handwriting, etc.

Apple is expected to announce the tablet at an event in San Francisco in three weeks.
