This is really funny, the dust didn’t even settled on the iPad launch and there are rumors about Apple looking into building a slate type tablet that uses more powerful hardware and runs a Mac OS X version close to what we see in the current Apple lineup of laptops and desktop computers.

    If you look back at the iPad rumors there were some speculations that Apple is working a different sizes of tablets, from 7 to 10 inch, but the ‘new’ rumor says it’s gonna be a large 15 inch tablet, but a light one, 2-3 pounds, not much more than the 1.5 pounds of the iPad.

    Price won’t be under the 1000$ mark, that’s understandable and the CPU inside might be Intel made, so expect lower battery life but not that low as Apple really did nice things in past years to increase actual battery life on its products. It remains to be seen if this rumor comes true this WWDC in June , as I don’t see why Apple would rush and announce the new tablet if it can milk the cow with iPad a longer time with updates and iPad accessories.

    So, it it’s ever gonna get live action, the Mac OS X tablet would appear sometime next year and might give fans a reason to ditch completely their laptops for a more compact and portable device. I guess an external mouse and keyboard combination will be great it you’ll want to use it on a desk too.
