Jack Bauer Getting an iSlate

Posted by Editor on Jan 26, 2010 in Apple, Tablets

A Tasty Slate blog Exclusive! This just in from the Twitter page of Rodney Charters- the director of photography on the Fox TV series, 24:

“Hmmmm looks like we may get an iSlate into Jacks hands for Ep 20 getting giddy with excitement”

“Got a bit too excited probably more likely Episode 22 but Apple provided fingers crossed”

Fans of the show know that CTU members often sport Apple MacBook Pros, Cinema Displays and iPhones courtesy of a product placement deal with Apple. And this is as close to tacit confirmation on existence and name of Apple’s tablet as we’ve heard so far. Then again perhaps this is just an evil plot by the Russians and Chloe will have to find the IP of those responsible. But one way or the other, it looks like Apple’s ‘newest creation’ may find its way into Jack’s hands before this season is out….

Apple Readying Touchscreen iMacs

Posted by Editor on Jan 18, 2010 in Apple, Tablets

PCWorld brings this report of the highly successful multitouch technology coming to more than the iPhone, iTouch and tablet. So perhaps the Tablet won’t be the only cool thing unveiled in San Francisco on January 27th. Could this be Steve’s “one more thing?”

If you’re tired of hearing about the mythical Apple tablet, then you’ll be happy to hear a new rumor has popped up claiming Apple will launch a 22-inch touchscreen iMac later this year. The computer will be produced by Taiwan-based manufacturer Quanta, with the screens being produced by Sintek Photronic, according to DigiTimes based on an account from the Chinese language newspaper China Times.

Apple: Reach Out and Touch Me

A touchscreen iMac wouldn’t be terribly surprising, since touch-based features and devices are becoming an increasing part of Apple’s product lineup. The company has had a runaway success with the iPhoneand iPod Touch, multitouch trackpads in MacBookswere introduced in 2008, and Apple recently brought out the touch-based Magic Mouse. If the rumors are correct, Apple may also be introducing a 10-inchtouchscreen multimedia device at the end of this month.

For more details and some analysis of what a touchscreen iMac might look like, head over to the rest of the story at PCWorld.
