Apple Tablet Underway?

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Time for Touch-Screen MacBook

— November 6, 2007 — Unique
Rumors have been swirling that Apple could be producing a touch-screen tablet computer, combining the direct screen interaction of the iPhone with the functions of a MacBook.

PC World pictured, "Apple trying to fill the gaping hole in its existing notebook lineup by releasing an ultraportable computer, one with Apple design influences and a touchscreen."

The debate between Macs and PCs has been going on for decades, many professionals preferring the technological components, particularly graphic quality, that Apple provides, but thrown off by its large size. The creation of a smaller, more portable MacBook would be an obvious winner for people across all occupational fields.
Trend Themes
1. Touch-screen Tablet Computers - The trend towards more portable and interactive computers, such as touch-screen tablets, could revolutionize the way people work and interact with technology.
2. Ultralight Laptops - The trend towards smaller, lighter laptops with powerful technology could disrupt the traditional laptop market and meet the needs of professionals who require portability and power.
3. Convergence of Devices - The trend towards combining the functionality of different devices, such as laptops and tablets, into a single device could streamline work processes and make technology more accessible to a wider audience.
Industry Implications
1. Computer Manufacturing - Computer manufacturers could develop and market touch-screen tablets and ultralight laptops that meet the needs of professionals looking for portability and power.
2. Software Development - Software developers could create programs and apps specifically designed for touch-screen tablets and ultralight laptops, taking advantage of the unique features of these devices.
3. Graphic Design - The convergence of devices, such as touch-screen tablets and laptops, could offer graphic designers a way to work on-the-go while maintaining the necessary computing power and graphic quality.
