I was wondering if anyone has tried this Sports Handicapping Service? I found his video on Youtube and it turns out the service is sold through clickbank which means it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. Was inquiring what peoples thoughts were.

I also think think that awesome iPhone formatted mobile news sites like http://www.iFastNews.com will evolve to this new platform. Rather that choosing one paper newspaper or a few ad-laden news apps, sites like this allow you to explore a plethora of news Fast no matter where you are – on the couch, in bed, at a coffee shop, in the car. Soon, e-publishing is going to get big!!

Isn’t everybody forgetting this thing will finally bring back full page newspapers & magazines with full color layout & display advertising! Ever try to read news on a horizontal view laptop with a keyboard in the way?? Nothing exists today with a color flat portrait display. This will be groundbreaking when you see your grandma watch movies and read her newspaper while in her easy chair. The people that don’t think this will be big are stuck into thinking this is some old fashioned laptop or a big iPhone. yeah it’s both of those, plus a larger, full color Kindle with (thanks to the iPhone) an awesome touch screen Internet browser that actually works. I dare you to use an eeepc to have grandma use the touchpad and try to accomplish something.

Hopefully it will be a version of OS X. Another version of iPhone OS and Apple is starting to get into the problem developers have with all the different Windows Mobile devices over the years. I think http://appbodega.com/ could be Apple’s leak to how software will be installed on the tablet.

Stacks. Quicklook. Coverflow. QuickTime X. Waiting for final touches on 10.5.8. It will be released with the new OSX. Just look at the current OSX. Very functional without a mouse (Fully touch screen enabled). Will fill in the current MacBook line.

I wonder if they put the iPhone osx on this then if it will have the limitations of the iPhone such as flash player or the absence of backgrounding apps. I am betting on a custom itablet os which will be able to do more than the iPhone. People won’t pay for an 10 inch iPod which has the same os

They will make their own OS for it. If they made a new OS for their Mobile OS X , they will make a mobile OS for their Tablet.

I hope they make the screen Matte so people can use PS on it with a stylus as much as they don't believe in styluses.

Also, they might make the Tablet OS a hybrid between the iPhone and OS X systems.

I think this will come out in 2010, there aren't enough rumors and news to really hype this. As much as Apple keeps their business on lock, I don't think they can stop people from finding out.

this will run a stripped down version of OSX, in the same way that iPhone OS is a stripped down version of OS X.

standard mac apps won't be able to run on it, but porting existing apps to it will be easier than porting to the iPhone.

iPhone apps will be able to run on the device as widgets, but only after going through a second stage of approval.

people will mostly use the browser on the device, and games specifically built for it or ported over from other platforms.

unlike the iPod touch, it'll have 3G/4G built in as an option. the device itself won't be carrier exclusive.

the big question is whether it'll have a universally accessible USB port. if it does, i will be buying one. this is a laptop replacement for the things most people use laptops for. the iTablet doesn't need to do everything a laptop can do, but the things it does do it needs to be able to do as well as a laptop can.

I can’t see them launching it at a music event! Mac OSX wouldn’t need many major UI changes to be made touch friendly, though third party apps could be an issue.

What if the itablet is more focused on apps and mobile gaming? And not so much on being a touchscreen laptop. I think it’s a waste of time but what do I know i don’t own a billion dollar company.
