What Would an Apple Tablet Look Like?

- Rob Bushway

It sure is nice to dream, right? Well, here is your opportunity to show everyone what you think an Apple should look like: should it be a slate, a convertible, a hybrid? Touch only? Touch / Active? What features should it have / not have?

Here are the details on a contest Gizmodo is running on such an opportunity. I know we have some cool artists out in GBM land ( JKK being one of them ), so get Photoshop loaded and get to work, k?

Following in the footsteps of our own master photoshopper and his Apple Tablet concept, we want you, our readers, to give it a shot as well. Submit your photoshopped concepts for a possible Apple Tablet and what you think/want it to look like.

Will it have a keyboard hidden underneath? Will it look like the iPhone? Will it have straps so you can keep it on your person at all times? You choose! Just submit your entries to contests@gizmodo.com with the subject "Apple Tablet Contest", and we'll feature all of them on Giz come next week. We'll present the person who made the best design with a nice *cough* *inaudible*. Get to it!

Like there aren't enough photshoped fakes going around?

Ah, but you don't understand. For those of us who absolutely salivate over the possibility of an Apple Tablet, hope is all we have to cling to :-)

It would have to be the most generic thing out there, clean looking but too sterile, and would have to have one button in the middle of the keyboard that would run everything :)
Oh, and every application on it would have to come out one year later than it would for the PC.
Apple Corp. is doing great because of all the other niches they have broken into, such as iPhone and iPod. I think if they try to break into this field they will waste their stockholder's resources. Just my two cents :)

I simply don't care how tablet looks like and how cool it is. I just hope it can make tablet accessible for users. I am tired of heated tablet pc in normal temperature while studying or taking notes. I am sick of short battery life and normal electromagnetic effects to the eyes. Simply, if Apple just going to puts a plate of tablet screen on top of their Macbook then it is no different than any PC tablet computer. And that's my reason why I no longer use a tablet pc anymore because it is simply inconvenient. I truly admire you guys still stick to this faded tablet technology. It is simply too cumbersome to use.

I have to say that I'm actually impressed by my Fujitsu ST5112. The ST5012 was actually much hotter than this one is, and this one has a core duo chip. I turn down the brightness to extend battery life, but it has an unintended benefit of making it much easier on my eyes throughout 6 hours of constant use with about 15 minutes of break time within that 6 hours.
