As you all may already know, I am a loyal Apple customer. This dates back to the year I got into graphic design. After my Windows unit was choking on Photoshop, a colleague of mine suggested buying a Mac instead of a new Windows PC.

After I discovered the alternate world of Apple computing, I have never turned back. I now own a couple of desktop computers, a laptop and an iPhone. All well worth the higher price tag. Some may say that you can get the same hardware for cheaper, but hardware is just a portion of the full computer experience.

We interact with computers just as we interact with cars, pets and each other. Aren’t you choosy about your friends, cars and pets? Will just any car do?

Allegedly, it will measure 10, 11 or 12 inches diagonally, but entirely a touch screen device. Some have speculated that there will be a full QWERTY keyboard, handwriting recognition and a loading slot for media.

This is something that is VERY exciting for the IT nerds among us. This really pushing the envelope on how we interact with information on a daily, mobile basis.

The FT’s sources say that the device will have a screen measuring 10 inches diagonally and will come with Wi-Fi but no cellular transceiver. Weirdly, the story also suggests that the effort is aimed at reviving sales of full-length albums. To be honest, I suspect it has more to do with tapping into the growing demand for netbook-sized computers.
