hey guys jon rettinger from technobuffalo here just a few minutes ago Apple sent out press invites for their long-awaited January 27th event with the tagline come see our latest creation take a look at the invite so lots of colors lots of paint splattered around sort of the speculation can really go anywhere as far as to what we think could happen however a few things are relatively guaranteed so let's go through some of the rumors and some of the things that I expect and some of the things that may happen or may not happen so I think the biggest focus is going to be on this long rumored long awaited almost mythical apple tablet we've been hearing about it for the better part of three years even dating back before the iphone that hasn't really been much of a secret made that the iphone technology came from a tablet that Apple was developing I think we may see sort of that same form factor in this tablet what people leave is going to be about 10 inches when we were at CES there was definitely shortage of 10 inch capacitive touchscreens and prevailing opinion seems to be that was because apple bought them all so let's talk about this tablet and some of the specs that I think that we're going to see on it so again is going to be a 10 inch touchscreen think it's going to be a beefed-up version of the iphone OS but it's going to have a very different look and feel to it I think it's going to focus a lot on certainly the internet ebook reader to think are going to be very strongly featured with the tablet a 10 inch screen is fantastic for reading it's really they've been ebook application for the iPhone but it's very hard to read on a screen that small I think we're going to see definitely readers by a big big part in the announcement on the twenty-seventh also that I probably lead to an ebook store in iTunes which should be interesting I think we're all so we're going to see sort of the revamp of magazines as we know it the tablets going to be very magazine focused subscriptions have been dropping physical media and is dying and certainly print as well and i think that the digital is certainly taking over i think the tablet is going to slot right in nicely i think that we're going to see magnet subscriptions being able to be managed and purchase and single issue purchases right through itunes or wirelessly from the new tablet you know if you imagine flipping through the pages and sort of interactive immersive environment you see pictures you can flip through the pictures p a video you can just hit play I think it's going to be quite exciting i'm really looking forward to the tablet i'm going to see sort of the same launch things that we saw with the iphone probably do one or two things really really well and probably lacking some the features that maybe we all expect there have been rumors about having a front facing camera remembers about having it not having a front facing camera i personally think that we are going to see a front facing camera i think it's going to be heavily featured for 4i chats heard of technology that we're going to see sort of our way over to the iphone fourth generation which i talked about Justin minix think we're going to hear a little bit about the new iphone on the twenty-seventh as well so I think though we are going to see a front-facing camera I think we're going to see sort of low-resolution maybe 1.3 megapixel enough to do some typical skype calls I think it's gonna be about the same thickness of the iphone rumor has a 20 running a chip that Apple developed in-house you know certainly I'd say as powerful as a ultra low voltage core2duo more powerful than your typical atom processor you know probably a gig of ram and certainly a solid state drive probably 64 gig some speed of prevailing opinion it does appear to be plenty of space so people have been talking about that this is going to run a modified iphone operating system how can I able to work on it as a regular computer well there's also been significant sort of whispers about a touch implementation of apples iWork sweet fouzia don't know what I work in sort of apple's version of microsoft office so it's got a text application presentation application spreadsheets and all the rest and certainly when you're looking at a tablet text entry and it's going to be a really big important deal sort of how Apple's going to handle text entry you know is quite important it's really a difference you can use a good tablet as a niche device using a tablet as a regular daily driver certainly you want to type out emails on your computer you want to be able to be able to get email addresses and things like that and a 10 inch screen is a little bit too big to do some thumb typing on so how is that we're going to handle text input this is something that's really not known speculation has been rampant from anything from keyboard bumps that actually pop out at a screen to text entry / voice you're going to split keyboard on each side you know that i really don't know or have any sort of inclination or feeling which way it's going to go i think we're gonna see something new I don't think it's going to be a typical on-screen keyboard like we see on the iPhone or other tablet devices so a lot of talk about stylist as well so we're going to see a capacitive touchscreen which is not traditionally stylist friendly Silas Risa generally associated with a resistive touchscreen we may see some terms of capacitive stylus for um you know precision painting and drawing there have been modified versions of the macbook called the modbook which turned it into a tablet not relied on stylus with some inkwell technology so you may actually see up and bring back the style of sort of bring in venta stylist as far as the passage goes some more spec about the device and what we think that it may or may not do 3G connectivity is it going to have AT&T 3g is going to have verizon 3g is going to offer both i tend to think it's going to offer both i think you're going to give the choice to the consumer I don't think either carrier is going to offer a subsidized version I think you can be able to buy it just with the option what do you want to activate the 3g is going to be up to you all i do you think we are going to see AT&T of course think it's going to be apple's first foray into verizon so if those you that are holding out for a verizon dup iphone this may be your first taste of how Apple products work on your EVDO network so i think the tablet is definitely going to be the highlight of the show I think we're also going to see a lot of iphone news particularly iphone OS four point oh and possibly even some iphone 4g so OS four point oh is rumored to have been on hold because the code is littered with tablet references certainly would make sense Apple would hold on to it we've been seeing an iphone OS update for quite some time certainly long longest period that we've had since the phone was first released so what might we see an iOS four point oh I think we're going to see a completely redesigned and much appreciated user interface I think the iphone OS is stale and it's become very boring if it wasn't such a darn good internet browsing device you know i would probably have ditched it quite a while ago i think we're finally going to see we design user interface think we're going to see true multitasking and we're going to see file management and i think we're going to see sir pay a new take on the icon array that Apple currently has now perhaps tax or folders sort of a more intuitive design going to see some upgrades to the home screen certainly more than we write have now on the typical lock screen on the iPhone that's been unjailbreak in you've got your times notifications and your unlock bark and that is about it that's a lot of ways to real estate space so I think we're going to see a ton of updates to the IFO know what I think Ravenna developers can get the first take and taste rather of OS 4.0 I don't think we're going to hear much rumors about iphone 4g or the 4th generation iphone but Apple may touch on they may even show it for all we know you know Apple is not shy to show products now and launch them a few months later like I think they're going to do the tablet I think they're going to show its to us on 27th and probably not released until March you certainly have to go through a ton of FCC rules and clarifications it's got a pass tests and Apple were to go through that due diligence now we're certainly would have leaked dad about the tablet the bias I think they're smart to show it then let it run through its paces governmentally and then sort of come out to market Apple events sort of coincide with some small releases as well I think we may actually see some macbook pro updates think we're probably going to see the core i5 chip drop into the macbook pro certainly that's a natural evolution of the computer optic going to see much else the macbook pro the macbook itself plastic windows got an upgrade so i wouldn't expect that but the macbook pro on the high end think you'll finally be able to get your core i7 in there i'm also thinking that we're probably going to see an updated MacBook Air it's design is getting a little bit dated no longer the thinnest computer around the damo XPS has taken that crown from it and now just a little bit of a bit underpowered niche machine doesn't necessarily fit with the design some of the other aluminum enclosed macbook pros as well so i think we're gonna see sort of the black bezel the multi-touch trackpad it out the button probably an upgrade to four gigs ram and a new core 2 duo chip which would be quite welcome the macbook air is a pretty powerful computer hasn't gotten much press and for all we know this tablet may very well be called the macbook air maybe we'll see a new design for the macbook air maybe a convertible tablet that has a keyboard attached to it we really just don't know it's all speculation but it's fun to speculate on what Apple might do turn me outside are probably a few key executives I don't think anybody really knows but you certainly can just guess so what do you think app was going to down s'what do you want Apple to announce do you have any inkling any insider information never you like to hear from you so leave a text or video
