Engadget: "Apple Tablet 'confirmed' by Asus?"
Oh crap, I didn't even click through the link to the more detailed story on CNET with a picture that makes me want to put my hand into the screen:

Apple iTablet 'Confirmed' by Asus
After my last post, I don't go to sleep with my mind full of tortured biomechanoid hybrid creatures... Instead I'd rather dream of the day when a (non-invasive) touchscreen Apple iTablet will make its way into my hands. The iPhone (that I refuse to switch to AT&T for & spend $400 on) is basically a ubiquitous teaser to what could be the last personal computer I ever need. I might be forced to a buy a Mac Mini soon for practical purposes, anyway, but speculation like this is slowly driving me mad...

Touchscreen Tech & the iTablet
Man, this guy is sooo right on the money...
The thing that got me really hyped up over the announcement of the iPhone is the inevitable use of the touchscreen interface in a full-scale tablet Mac. This is the computer I've wanted ever since my family got it's first Windows 3.0/DOS piece of garbage computer, way back when.
C'mon Apple, you're killing me!!!

Perceptive Pixel: Touchscreen Tech
Everytime I see demos of touchscreen technology like this, it makes me mad that I don't have an Apple iTablet computer in my hands.
Sure, they have custom "MacTablets" out, but it's just a modified Mac Powerbook w/ a touchscreen. So, it doesn't have Apple's proprietary gesture & interface tech that the new iPhones will have.
Anyway, these big interactive touchscreens in the video create a universe of possibilities in creative fields, business, communication, & technology. I can imagine using it like a futuristic digital canvas to paint in Photoshop. Things like this make me feel like I'm actually living in the 21st Century.

Evolution of Apple
I consider the Macs I use at home & work to be extensions of my mind. It truly amazes me how much creative potential and information can be unlocked through our magic light boxes.
Often, I feel like my life has run directly parallel to the development of personal computing tech. I was born around the time the Apple II came out. In elementary school, my family had the simple Commodore 64, which we only used to play games. Then around Middle School we got a Windows 3.1 PC that I knew sucked, even at the time, if for nothing else than that I had to learn some DOS programming language.
I knew there would, one day, be computers that were actually user-friendly and productive, but when?!?!
What I didn't know was that the Apple Computer was out there, giving ideas to Microsoft to rip off. In high school physics I was exposed to Macs for the first time. Going into college I had a PC with Windows 95 and eventually got a version of Photoshop that I started to teach myself. As an engineering student in college, I was forced into using PCs only, which in retrospect may explain why I ended up wanting to get wasted all the time. I came to my senses and switched to the Mac-friendly & Paul-friendly major of graphic design. For only taking 5 years to graduate, my wonderful parents got me the innovative G4 Cube, my first Mac. At home I now have a single processor G5 PowerMac that is unacceptably slow. "Give me quantum processing or give me death!" At the very least, I have vowed to not buy another Mac until the iTablet comes out, but Steve Jobs is not making it easy at all. Presenting the iPhone was like a sick taunt...
Anyway, this chart from tofslie.com is a detailed look at the greatest product line, ever.

New Year "i-nspiration"
I haven't posted anything in about a month due to overall laziness, the holidays, and the various good & bad B.S. that life tends to produce.
However, today I have been inspired by the introduction of a creation that is one of those things (usually made by Apple) that is a perfect blend of simplicity, utility, and aesthetic beauty. One of my heroes Steve Jobs presented the iPhone today and this thing is... how do I put it eloquently,.... f*@&ing awesome.
Now all Apple has to do is release an iTablet and I will proclaim Apple the greatest company in the Universe.
I'm staring into the face of the future.

Interactive Touchscreen
I'm going crazy waiting for Apple to release a touchscreen tablet PC with this technology!!! It seems that somebody has already figured out how to fabricate an "iTablet." This is the computer I have been dreaming about for years.
