Steve Jobs “Extremely Happy” About Tablet Computer

With so many rumors showing up lately and an Apple event planned on January 24th, 25th and 26th with a major announcement on the 26th, Steve Jobs must be very happy with what is going to happen. And it seems he is. A New York Times Blog post by Nick Bilton reveals a few details about the upcoming touchscreen device.

Bilton says Apple has been working on a tablet on-and-off for many years but didn’t launch the product because the market was not ready. The technology used for the tablet was then used for the iPhone, but now it seems Apple feels the market is ready for tablet computers. They have finally gotten to the point the tablet is ready for launch. According to a current senior employee at Apple, Steve Jobs is said to be “extremely happy with the new tablet”.

“You will be very surprised how you interact with the new tablet.”, that’s what another source told Bilton. It is unclear what this interaction might be, but with all the patents on multi-touch in possession of Apple they can go many directions with the way you can interact with the tablet device. Advanced gestures could be possible but it doesn’t seem very surprising. Less then a month from now, we will know…hopefully!

          Great posting, you’ve made some solid points – but will you be posting a follow up to this?

            We’ll see if Steve Jobs is really “extremely happy” about the tablet device next week. I’m busy with a lot of new posts and I’m working on a post about the history of the tablet device since rumours started to show up somewhere in 2001.

                    Hi guys,

                    I know this might be a bit off topic but seeing that a bunch of you own websites, where would the best place be to host. Someone recommended I use Blue Host for $6.95 a month which seems like a great deal. Anyone here on itabletfreakz.com using them?

                          Hello,

                          Just a quick hello from as I’m new to the board. I’ve seen some interesting posts so far.

                          To be honest I’m new to forums in general :)

                          John
