Mac Tablet Rumors Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I’ve heard that Apple isn’t very happy with talks at the moment, because the print companies just want to recycle their current business models on the device.
At least Apple is thinking of new applications for the tablet form factor, rather than just running an OS without a keyboard.

It’s a last gasp opportunity that I’m certain publishers will be too narrow-minded to seize.
>> Two people from The New York Times were allegedly contacted by Apple in June about putting their product on a “new device.”
ROFL! Same Old Crap, New Attractive Can.
I don’t see paid news selling all that well.
BTW, it’s interesting to see them taking Kindle on directly. IMHO the appliance+ePaper form factor a la Kindle is better for distribution of “ink” stuff, than a general purpose LCD tablet computer. We’ll see how it goes. It’ll be interesting
Isn’t there already a Kindle app for iPhone? If it’s also coming out for this tablet, Apple will have a huge advantage over potential competitors (including the Kindle, heh).
May be reasonable to think that the iPod Touch (isn’t that the ‘big one’?) was a toe in the water for this tablet product.
