Apple tablet stirs it

Enter the Apple tablet. In my opinion this will blow a hole in Kindle sales.  Apple envisions that a family will share a tablet, and they will use it to check email in their homes. A rumor is that experimental facial recognition software will identify each user. Each user can have their own sticky notes and can leave them behind on the screen. Of course Apple is in discussions with major publishers for fiction and textbooks for the device. You have to admit this is a great device for students. It’s not all work and no play – gaming companies are getting a look at the platform too. Keep an eye on this item, or see it for yourself January 27th.

But what will keep people from buying it? See: Apple tablet: 70% won’t spend more than $700, survey says http://bit.ly/50K6Dh
