Calacanis leaks Apple Tablet Details On Twitter
UPDATE: I’m inclined to agree with @scobleizer and @ivanski that this is a punk. Its just too much, and there are odd things like the thumbpads. And the NDA being over doesn’t make ANY sense (there’d be others).
OK, @jason. Nice one. Got me going, anyway.
Apparently he was a beta tester for the past two weeks. So the embargo/NDA is off? Lots of details here, I don’t think Apple is going to be very happy about this. From @jason:
- The best part ofthe apple tablet as beta user has been the built in HDTV tuner and pvr, and the chess game.
- Also, the apple tablet is really amazing for newspapers. Video conferencing is super stable, but nothing new.
- The price will be 599, 699 and 799 depending on size and memory in apple tablet. Also, wireless keyboard + monitor connection for tv
- running an iphone os flavor with ability to have multiple apps running at same time (ie pandora, browser
- battery life is great in ebook reading mode but not great when on wifi or playing games. 2-3hrs
- there are 2cameras: one in front and one in back (or it may be one with some double lens) so you record yourself and in front of u.
- Tablet has thumbpads on each side for mouse guestures, reads fingerprint for security. Up to 5 profiles by finerprint for family.
- tablet is oled + back has solar pad for recharging, but it really doesn’t work quickly. More a gimmic. Verizon+att,wifi yes!
- tablet’s 2 cameras is sick feature for video conferencing: u shoot what’s in front of you + yourself. Augmented video conferncing!
- steve jobs outdid himself, its greatest device ever!!!
- tablet games are sick. Basically nintendo wii-level innovation. Custom farmville app is insane. Mark pincus is demoing with steve tmmr
- apple tablet connects to other tablets over wifi for gaming. There will be LAN parties with these things, people playingFirst personshooters
- Farmville for Apple tablet is a huge game changer. I know for a FACT Mark Pincus is onstage tomorrow with Jobs.
