In view of this, we decided to write an article, invite you to share with us the truth Quest Apple Tablet PC. We will list on the Apple Tablet PC rumors of the most common, the survey made interactive with you, of course, there will be an analysis of editorial comments, are welcome to participate.

July 14, touch panel makers Shenghua (Wintek), spare parts manufacturers WAN Xu (Wanshih), and battery maker Shunda (Dynapack) claims that Apple has already received orders, and these parts will have a direct cross - by Hon Hai (Foxconn) to OEM Dell laptop batteryproduction. This opened a Apple Tablet PC rumors Prologue. But that time, many in the industry have tended to favor which products are Apple's "on-line in this" prototype.

July 28, according to AppleInsider Web site reports, speculated that Apple's new laptop will be launched early next year, and noted that it is a product may be used similar to the iPhone (mobile Internet) is designed for touch-screen tablet PCs, but also to predict the configuration of which products may

July 29, "Financial Times" reported that Apple will release a Tablet PC before Christmas. At this point, Apple Tablet PC rumors this has been in a state of the products, has been widespread concern in the industry.

Speculation that one: in the end Apple will release a Tablet PC

Apple Tablet PC will be issued the most direct evidence comes from this picture below, this is iPhone (mobile Internet) OS 3.0 SDK beta in the USBConfiguration.plist profile shots, including an unknown new product, code-named iProd0, 1 caused everyone's attention. In accordance with Apple's naming convention, iProd 0,1Dell Inspiron 1520 battery may be new hardware prototype, while the iProd 1,1 most likely refers to the final release models. But we can not confirm this is what the products, while others feel that he may just be rumors in the Apple Tablet PC, while others think that it is merely added a camera iPod.

Until the "Financial Times" published news that Apple could be released in September this year, Tablet PCs, the real thing before making this announcement to the public before, and attracted numerous experts in Comments. So, Apple will actually release tablet computer? Now pass the apple of the incredible flat, will not be a matter of fact, though their conjecture?

From the exposure of Apple products USB configuration file Model of view, Apple Tablet PC is real potential is very great. First, if iProd just an upgrade Dell Inspiron 1521 batteryversion of the iPod, then use a new name of the code, is not it a bit too much fuss? Second, according to Apple's previously released products, practices, 0,1 version of the general correction in research and development of products, rather than an upgrade. Combined with the Apple Tablet PC is now overwhelming information, iProd is likely to be Apple Tablet PC is a tough time.

We speculate the authenticity of the Apple Tablet PC, the foreign experts have begun to predict the release of Apple's time, configuration, retail prices and shipments, etc. of. August 16, Piper Jaffray investment bank's report pointed out, Apple Tablet PC is expected to be available in early 2010 formally, when the sale is expected to reach 2 million units, if each sell 600 U.S. dollars, is expected to bring about 1.2 billion U.S. dollars of income. Apple is expected to account for the year's total revenue 3%.

All of a sudden, it seems that all of the public opinion believe that Apple's push tablet PCs hit the event is already a board nailed the fact that only a release time can not be determined, probably in September this year, may also be postponed until 2010. Sources also revealed that Apple's plan has been in several other international brands to see their eyes. It has been learned, including Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Dell and other big companies will be launched next year, similar to a new generation of tablet PCs.

The message originated from the Dell Inspiron 1526 batteryOEM manufacturers and LCD panel makers, Apple Tablet PC is likely to have entered the production phase, but also on the intensity of the current message to speculate that Apple may be in Thunder Tablet PC as fast as landing the global market.

According to market research firm IDC, tablet PCs sold last year, the United States was 71.1 million units, compared with the previous year's sales decreased 15%. Decline in sales is mainly due to the outbreak of a global economic recession. In the second quarter of 2009, due to the federal government funds to stimulate the economy after another into the medical and other industries, Tablet PC sales began to pick up Quotes. However, Apple Tablet PC is not really as predictable as optimistic as assessed by the division remains to be seen.

Although the Tablet PC before, and there is no success stories to learn from the failure of Apple's development history of a rare case occurred in the Tablet PC is similar to Newton's machine, so analysts believe that Apple is a big bet that is really not surprising . Apple has chosen at this time is probably mainly due to release a Tablet PC, iPhone sales are declining, Apple needs a new product to solve profit problems; the iPhone's success stories to give Apple a good inspiration, Apple patents touch-screen technology can precisely Prior to tablet PCs make up for the shortcomings of touchscreen insensitivity!

Our discussion has moved from Apple will release tablet PCs to the Apple will be successful! In fact, Apple will not be released regardless of tablet PCs, he has successfully awakened the people's enthusiasm for flat-panel notebooks and other hardware vendors to give a good blueprint for a new product. Of course, maybe Apple's tablet PCs have been quietly produced in the near future, we will be able to glimpse their true style. From MP3 to cell phones, Apple is the "savior" of the forms and shapes, so we have reason to believe that Apple's tablet PCs have the ability to reverse the status quo. Apple released from the appearance of pictures and prices of Tablet PC, Apple Tablet PC might be really promising.

Guess 2: With regard to the price of Apple's tablet PCs speculation

Tablet PC unpopular before the biggest for two reasons: for some markets, the price of some of tablet PCs in your side; for some other markets, Tablet PC ease of use is not enough. If the Apple Tablet PC to be successful, is bound to make great efforts in these two areas to give consumers a satisfactory response. The news circulating on the current terms, Apple Tablet PC prices should be lower than the MacBook, and even access to the Internet may be the same price nowadays.

Foreign media for the final sale price of Apple's tablet PCs are optimistic. Gizomda reported that Apple's upcoming tablet notebook computers will have twoDell Inspiron 1720 battery versions, one for the field of education version, another version of the built-in webcam and using OLED screen, the difference in price at 700/900 U.S. dollars. Another Silicon Scoop's colleagues in the media also published the relevant information, the message that this product will be released later this year, priced at 899 U.S. dollars.

Foreign media editors, analysts will be out for Apple's forecast for flat-panel computer prices drop more, from the 599 U.S. dollars to 899 U.S. dollars, in the middle of an iPhone, a difference of prices. However, as an ordinary consumer, we are more inclined to 599 or 699 U.S. dollars expected. Of course, any forecast are not imagined. Predict the price of Apple Tablet PC is likely to be 699 U.S. dollars.

In fact, Apple will launch the Tablet PC is not aimed at the development of high-end user base. Apple Tablet PC is considered to be to fill the MacBook laptop and iPod Touch player, a device between the blank zone, its market positioning and the Internet is somewhat similar to this, which also determines its price will not be too high. Also, do not forget Apple's App Store Store ecosystems, in fact, Apple Tablet PC is likely to raise revenue by means of App Store Store. After all, Apple Tablet PC a larger screen than the iPhone can operate more tasks. Apple In addition to selling hardware to make money, the more money through software. Should the apple to both the Tablet PC to be launched 3G service bundles to help with the sale, then he will be more advantage of the price, so the price of 699 U.S. dollars or less, is not without possible.

Guess 3: Network on the widely rumored that the so-called Apple Tablet PC picture which is most likely a prototype of it?

Price is the Tablet PC part of the development and popularity of reasons, the Tablet PC designed for the product itself is also an important reason for less than perfect. Currently on the market the sales representatives of the Tablet PC ThinkPad and HP, these products look and in 1988 the first prototype Tablet PC exactly the same as a decade without any major improvements. The biggest difference between an ordinary laptop seems to be that piece can rotate the screen and the stylus input mode of operation. This looks quite ugly, Dell Inspiron 1721 batteryexpensive and inconvenient operation of the product they are only at the designer and art popular among people who could hardly be recognized and accepted the general consumers.

However, the most recent years, with touch-screen components and software cost reductions, as well as impedance capacitive touch technology, the emergence of a new type of touch screen, to the Tablet PC to another opportunity for development. Tablet PC was finally able to radically change and innovation. The first step is both a stylus and keyboard strike off the traditional mode of operation, just as Apple's Tablet computer network diagram, as published in various scenarios.

The launch of Apple's next-generation tablet PC development inspired by the Amazon Kindle electronic reader, Kindle electronic reader in Europe and the United States and some regions have to create a new trend has even affected the sales of Apple's ipod. And Apple products in the eye this time, has been deeply infected by their design, and then had the idea of a new generation of Tablet PC and R & D direction.

"In addition, Apple's tablet PC operating system has not been established, Brian Lam says this is a big Apple's secrets.

Guess 4: Apple Tablet PC configuration to guess

Apple Tablet PC news spread from the first day, people have not stopped speculation on their configuration. Silicon Scoop Web site editor, said Trip Chowdhry, Apple flat-panel notebooks will use 8-10 inches of the OLED screen, as well as the ARM Cortex-A9 processor, the overall effect of the machine with the ARCHOS Internet for Windows 7 similar to the Archos 9 PC Tablet.

At present, most sources agree that Apple will use the Tablet PC smart phones frequently used ARM processors, is likely to be using 32-nanometer manufacturing process of the ARM Cortex-A9, if this is the case, then Apple's Tablet PC operating system will not the use of suspense iPhone (mobile Internet) OS system version. Chowdhry's Web site said the performance of this product than the Archos 9 Tablet PC Windows 7-based access to the Internet some of the stronger.

In fact, the most controversial parts of the present is not the processor and operating system, but the size of Apple's tablet PCs, from 4 inches to 12 inches, but most are still concentrated in about 10 inches. However, foreign analysts have claimed that the well-known, Apple has developed two prototype Tablet PC, in which a 6-inch display with a price is likely to be 679 U.S. dollars.

If the Apple Tablet PC uses a ARM Cortex-A9 processor and the iPhone OS, as well as 6-inch or 10-inch screen, then he is likely to be a performance with the Internet the same, you can read e-books, internet surfing, watching high-definition movies, as well as Play some simple 3D games. In Web browsing, e-mail and media software will highlight the advantages, in other words, Apple Tablet PC and the Internet while the similar, but applied a varietyDell Inspiron 5150 battery of features and will demonstrate their competitive edge will naturally compete with the Internet in this win .

But these also are hypothetical, even if Apple and other manufacturers successfully at a lower price for their products to add more new features, they will face another difficulty, that is how the keyboard without using the traditional case of relaxed input data. Can not be denied, however, the market could have a huge demand for tablet PCs, if the Tablet PC a big success, they will certainly erode away media players, smart phones and the Internet in this part of the computer sales market.
