Mac4Ever claims [Google Translation] that Apple is planning to not only release the much rumored Tablet computer, but also a new beta version of the iPhone OS 4.0 together with the associated Software Development Kit (SDK) for developers.
So it looks like the event, now scheduled for January 27th, will brings us much more then just one thing. The major product announcement seems to hold much more then ‘only’ the Tablet everybody’s been talking about. The report says the SDK will include a “simulator” to assist developers in adapting their existing App Store applications to support the tablet’s screen resolution.
“Several of our sources give us two pieces of information concerning the famous Apple tablet: In late January, in addition to its tablet, Cupertino should have a beta of iPhone OS 4, accompanied by an SDK. Our informants also tell us of a “simulator” specifically adapted for the tablet. Evidently, the major novelty of the SDK therefore concerns the interface, making it easier for developers to adapt to different screen resolutions. The new iPhone could also benefit from a higher pixel density.”
The evidence of the existence of the mythical Apple Tablet computer seems to get clearer every day. I keep saying this, but it’s only a matter of time before we know everything we need to know.
