On Friday we had Jason Schwartz, an options strategist long on Apple (AAPL), explaining in Seeking Alpha Why Apple’s iTouch Tablet Will Become Its Flagship Product.On Monday we heard from Michael Scalisi, an IT manager writing in PC World, that the Rumored Apple Tablet Is a Train Wreck.If the first hurdle of a successful Apple product is to capture the imagination of the chattering classes, this one is half-way there.Of course, we don’t really know what the product is, what it looks like or when, if ever, it will be released. But that hasn’t stopped the trade press from weighing in – and quickly taking sides.In this context, the most useful thing I’ve read lately is Harry McCracken’s PAQ – for Possibly Answered Questions, a kind of pre-emptive FAQ – in Monday’s Technologizer.McCracken sorts through the myriad details that have been bruited about in nearly two years of press speculation (and, reportedly, four years of product development under Steve Jobs’ watchful eye) and draws a plausible picture of the rumored device and what it might be good for.Among the tablet‘s salient features, as McCracken sees it:* Size: A 9.7-inch screen with something like 1024-by-600 pixels (the iPhone, by comparison, has a 3.5-inch screen and 480-by-320 pixels.* Operating System: A version of the iPhone OS that supports a larger screen and special tablet features.* Interface: Like the iPhone’s, it will be optimized for Web surfing, music, movies, very light e-mail, and other applications that don’t involve much data entry.* Applications: From the 65,000 available on the App Store.* Connectivity: Wi-Fi for sure. Bluetooth almost certainly. The big unknown: will it have cellular broadband?* Other features: A front-mounted camera for video chatting. Perhaps GPS for navigation. Maybe an SD slot for importing photos. No Firewire or USB, says McCracken, although we don’t see why not.* Cost: More than a netbook ($500 at the cheapest) and less than a MacBook ($999), unless subsidized by a cellular carrier. (In which case the monthly bills will push cost into the thousands of dollars over the life of a contract.)* Availability: AppleInsider is pretty sure it’s early next year. The Financial Times is even more certain it’s September of this year. As McCracken points out, they can’t both be right.Apple has on order a large number of 10 inch LCDs. They just brokered a deal for a large amount of flash memory. They have handwriting recognition from the Newton days and on Mac OS X at times… They have voice recognition from quite some time ago as well. The voice recognition of the current iPhone is pretty decent. Stir it all in a blender and I’d say a 1024×600 or maybe 1200×800 or higher. The iPhone is 160 pixels per inch and they likely want similar resolution for product differentiation and compatibility with iPhone perception of sizes of objects.I’d guess a fixed battery. And lifespan of 20 hours use are goals. Maybe 16 hours on time. Lots more room for the battery and the processor is the same power consumption.Of course it could be a novel technology display blending e-ink and LCD or OLED to save power.

6. Apple Tablet PC’s screen resolution will be much higher than the iPhone and iPod Touch’s 480×320, so that users can more easily read the full-size pages of books and magazines, as well as cutting through a newspaper page. Apple Tablet PC will be the iPhone screen resolution of 5 to 6 times (perhaps about 720p), while the touch regions are up 7 times.

7. Apple Tablet PC is designed to expand iPhone and iPod Touch in the media the idea that in order to replace the flat-panel equipment, books and magazines, while supporting the original iPhone and iPod Touch media, games, applications and network functions.

RUMORS ARE making rounds that Apple is all set to unveil its much coveted iphone 4G on January 27 – the event earmarked for the launch of its tablet device in San Francisco, United States.The company is supposedly touting iPhone 4G as an answer to rival Google’s Nexus One. Apple issued invitations to media outlets on Monday to “join us for an invitation-only event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco on January 27 at 10:00a.m.”The event will be showcased live from San Francisco by Fox network. In September 2009, Apple had surprised everyone by suddenly unveiling the latest generation iPod Touch just before the Fall iPod event – reason why everybody has set eyes on the Jan 27 event which may or may not be the official launch of iPhone 4G.As per PC World, the iPhone 4G will come with some of the most interesting patents.  One of the patents is supposedly a “grid of piezoelectronic actuators” which could mean “the ability to feel virtual buttons or a click wheel and receiving small vibrations from the handset.”Another Apple patent suggests the “detection of a user’s individual fingerprints as an input method, a security implementation likely to be welcomed by many. It could also mean allowing different parts of the iPhone and any applications to open or locked to different users.”PC World also reveals that the last Apple patent application places a Radio-frequency identification tag reader in the actual display panel of a device, allowing it to read RFIS tags. “RFID tags are small circuits that can be embedded in objects for identification using a special reader.”

Now that the ipad has dropped, Amadeus Consulting would like to follow up on a previous blog in which we made our predictions about the newest Apple® Tablet. In retrospect, the predictions we made were not very “risky,” even though many of them seemed unlikely at the time. Nevertheless, some of our hopes were still crushed, and others were pleasantly exceeded.

Before we begin, we’d like to mention one of our assumptions that was unfortunately wrong: the tablet’s name. While writing the previous blog, we had heard the name iPad™ being suggested among the rumors, but we didn’t think that Apple would ever choose iPad over iSlate. Unfortunately, we were wrong on that one, but we’ve faired a little bit better with our other predictions.

#1 – Our Guess: Multitouch

Correct!

Not a huge surprise here, but we said it was basically a freebee. But we can still be excited about it because it increases usability and is the next step of user-interface design.

We have a strong history developing for multitouch devices, including the iPhone® and Microsoft Surface™, and we are looking forward to this as an emerging technology that many other software development companies are not yet equipped to handle.

The large screen also means that applications can have increased functionality and provide a better user experience for interactive applications.

#2— Our Guess: OS 3.2

Correct!

Ok, this is awesome! This means that iPhone/iPod™ apps will run on the new iPad. And even better is the optional pixel scaling that allows apps to run in full screen without a major decay in graphical quality.  It will be interesting to see if current apps undergo an overhaul to provide improved resolution, or if designers will rely on the pixel scaling.

For our clients, this is very exciting as well. It means that they get even more exposure through their apps since they can be used on the iPhone, iPod, and now on the iPad.

For iPad developers, Apple has already released iPhone SDK 3.2 beta, an iPad Simulator, and other helpful tools to get apps built and optimized for OS 3.2. Amadeus Consulting is very excited to amp up our development to include iPad applications, and are already offering this service to our clients.

Apple also introduced a new version of iWork® for the iPad. Pages®, Keynote® and Numbers® are also available in special multitouch versions for the iPad.

#3— Our Guess: 3G network

Correct! (well, it’s an option at least)

Automatic Wi-Fi connectivity is pretty nice, but it is limited by the range of Wi-Fi networks, whereas 3G provides Internet access without having to find your nearest coffee shop. AT&T’s data plans are also reasonably priced, giving users a $15/month option with a 250MB limit, or a $30/month unlimited option. Even better is that neither has a contract, so you can cancel or sign-up at any time without worrying about cancellation fees.

Another benefit is the new Apple store iBookstore™ which has partnered with publishers to provide digital books and newspapers on the iPad. Books can be purchased individually and some newspapers can be purchased on a subscription basis.

Additionally, TV shows, movies and music can be downloaded through iTunes, or synced to other Apple computers.

#4— Our Guess: More Power

Partially Correct!

With the 1Ghz Apple A4 processor, the iPad definitely has more power than the iPhone, and boasts a jaw dropping 10 hours of battery life. We originally estimated it would have up to a 2.2Ghz processor, however all the reports say that the iPad is extremely fast with just the Apple A4.

#5—Web Cam!

Wrong

Okay, so we were wrong here, although it does have purchasable dongles that are designed to specifically interface with cameras and picture memory cards. So, you could still do your light photo and video editing before uploading, but it would require an extra step.

However, it does come with a built in microphone, so it could theoretically accept voice commands or be used to make calls on Skype.

Additional Bonuses

There are also some other features that we’re pretty excited about:

Although this is designed primarily for casual use, we could definitely see many commercial applications for this. Actually, anyone who uses a clipboard at work (for inspections, maintenance, inventory, sales, etc) could easily benefit with a custom application and this device.

Our mantra of “Everything is Possible,” keeps us moving forward and finding solutions to difficult problems. We are excited about the development possibilities that the iPad provides, and looking forward to working with our current and future clients on developing innovative apps for the iPad.

On Wednesday (January 27, 2010) Apple® is expected to unveil a new product. Rumors are circulating on the Internet that describes it as everything from a piece of the Allspark™, to a cure for lupus, although nobody is quite certain as to what it will be.

Like millions of others, we’ve donned our dry-cleaned turtlenecks and followed the rumors with keen interest to see what the next new thing from Apple will be. Even though we do not describe ourselves as an “Apple” or a “PC”, since we tend to do a good mix of both, we are excited about a new platform for development. We’re hedging our guesses that it will be a new tablet design, which we are calling iSlate.

Since there are lots of rumors, with virtually nothing confirmed, we’re basing our hopes off of many of the more likely and more exciting possibilities of the iSlate.

#1 Multitouch

Although nothing is known about the iSlate, multitouch capability seems like a freebee and it is extremely unlikely that any tablet would be released without it. Nevertheless, we are still excited about multitouch because it increases usability and user experience ten-fold. Multitouch interfaces are also the transitional step to fully natural user interfaces (NUI) that recognize gestures without the need for input devices, such as a mouse or keyboard.

Multitouch is the future of user interfaces for consumer devices and something that we are excited to develop. Amadeus Consulting is already developing user applications for the Microsoft Surface™ and iPhone™, both of which use only user gestures and object recognition for input.

#2 OS 3.2

The iPhone currently runs on OS 3.1.2. If the iSlate runs on a modified or scaled-up version of OS 3.1 (we’re calling it OS 3.2), then the iSlate will be compatible with all current iPhone applications and will be able to download apps from Apple’s App Store.

This is a huge bonus to developers, as they will not have to start over to develop apps for the iSlate (it runs off of the iPhone SDK) and to consumers who will be able to access the App Store to find inexpensive or free apps for the iSlate.

Also, this means that businesses that have invested in app development will be able to reach an even larger audience and receive a greater ROI for their investment in Apple app development. For example, retail stores that have invested in an app for the iPhone will be able to offer the same app to owners of the new Apple tablet, which is expected to sell up to 35 million units in 2010 (if rumors are true). Bundle that with number of iPhones sold to date (~40 million) and any app has the potential to reach a huge number of potential customers.

#3 It’s a Giant iPhone!

We’ve been jokingly calling it the Mark McGuire of iPhones (e.g. The iPhone on Steroids), which may not actually be a bad thing. Most people seem to think of a giant iPhone as a throwback to the early 1990s 12-pound cellular phones, which were unwieldy and hardly a convenience. However, we are actually pretty excited about the possibility.

To clarify, we don’t expect anyone to actually use them like they would a traditional phone, but being able to use existing 3G networks to access the internet, instead of using only Wi-Fi, would be incredibly convenient. You would not need to visit your local coffee shop in order to check your e-mail, and since tablets are so portable, you could catch up on the news from anywhere.

Also, it means that you can read the online version of the New York Times without having to squint. A “giant” 10-inch display would make viewing video and reading your favorite e-book a little less painful on your eyes. This gives customers a vast amount of power and connectivity in such a little device.

#4 More Power!

One of the downfalls of smart phones is their lack of processing power. Well, on second thought, it is that we tend to push them to their maximum capacity, and insist on increasing the abilities of these tiny devices. We are excited by the new 1GHz+ Snapdragon processors by Qualcomm, which are being employed in some of the newest smart phones, including HTC’s Nexus One. Still, for everything we try to use our phones for, 1 GHz may not be enough.

The new Apple Tablet may help solve this. It is said, by “people who know people who know”, that it may have up to a 2.2GHz processor, which will be more than enough for streaming video, running Flash applications, games, and doing almost anything that your desktop currently does. Sitting in bed streaming the latest episode of 24 on Hulu would be much more comfortable with a tablet than it would with even a laptop.

It also means that we can develop extremely powerful applications that could be used for advanced inventory control, ecommerce, retail, or maintenance applications could greatly increase efficiency. Not to mention the improvement of end-user applications.

#5 Web Cam!

We’d at least like a high quality (at least 5 megapixels, and video enabled) integrated camera. Why?  Web chatting of course!  And for the ability to do high quality object recognition, including motion and facial recognition. Not only is this cool for coolness sake, but also for some very practical applications, although it is hard to say that anything is amazingly new, since laptops can cover for most of these features. But tablets are just a little bit more convenient, with better integrated software and hardware, better portability and a more intuitive interface.

A camera and video capabilities on a tablet is like having a phone built in. Nobody would use them exactly as you would a camera, but being able to use object recognition, facial recognition, or motion detection is a powerful feature. For example, imagine a hearing-impaired user placing the tablet on the counter and signing to the receptionist on the other side as the tablet translates the gesture into audio, eliminating the need for written instructions.

Or simply to be able to web chat with friends while riding on the bus, or on-the-spot video editing before uploading your latest video to YouTube.

In Conclusion…

Yes, we know these are all based on rumors. It might not be called iSlate, and Wednesday’s event might not even unveil any sort of tablet design. Nevertheless, we at Amadeus Consulting are still excited about the possibilities. Our mantra of “everything is possible,” keeps us on the cutting-edge and expecting the unexpected in software development.

Even though we have not seen all of the rumored features in one place before, we have a wealth of experience developing custom software solutions involving each of these features. And we are anxious for the opportunity to put them together into the newest platform, and create a rich experience for our clients and their customers.

Beijing time on 19 January morning, according to the report of Fox News website, iPhone4.0 operating system will be launched simultaneously with with Apple tablet PC next Wednesday.

When Apple announced that Apple would hold products presentation on December 27th, 2009 in Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, the outside world thought that Apple would publish the latest tablet PC which has rumored for a long time on the launch event. But Fox News website expressed that Apple Company will also release some other types of new products simultaneously, including iPhone 4.0 operating system, and iLife 2010 application stack, etc. the new iPhone would not make a stage pose on this news  conference, usually, this product will be published in annually May or June.

Earlier reports said Apple delayed releasing iPhone 4.0 because the product contains a large number of functions relevant to the tablet PC. Therefore, insiders consider that iPhone 4.0 is really possible to be published together with its tablet PC.
