my only point being... all the speculation towards the components, in essence, i'm sure it will be half (literally) the computer featured above with better thinner stats for '09
for anyone to complain about what the back of a monitor looks like is petty at best. a tablet is half touch screen half monitor housing

Was talking with a friend about the "iSlate" occurred to me, and he said something like, "I think it's such a stupid name, humorous a bit, but silly—you don't write in a slate, you write on a slate. It's not a book."
Which got me thinking......
Apple stopped production of the iBook about 3-4 years ago, right? Which is about the same time development started for the tablet.
Do you think it is possible this was intentional, and that the iSlate will actually be called iBook? They already have great equity in that name, and there would be close to no confusion at all, at least that's what I believe.
Any thoughts? I'm far from a fanboy, but it occurred to me that this could be a real possibility, and was wondering if anyone else agreed.

Name: Apple Pad
Size: 9-11.5″
OS: Enhanced iPhone OS but not very recognizable as iPhone OS. Some features being as powerful as full Mac OS X features.
Price: $799 for base model (32GB, LCD screen); $899 for more storage (64GB, LCD screen); $949 for 64GB and OLED screen
Available: March or May-June
General things: Will integrate tightly with iPhone OS 4.0, thus Apple will be showing off 4.0 as well. 4.0 will ship in “late spring or early summer.” Apple will also announce iLife ‘10 and maybe iWork ‘10 with enhanced features centered around the tablet and its technology. The tablet will also be connected with the cell networks so it is online all the time, much like the Amazon Kindle is right now.

anyone else get the feeling that janne76 is going to have to order a new keyboard along with the itablet in account of the jizz jamming the keys now?
