Feels good to have some confirmation on an Apple rumor that promises something revolutionary. No its not the Apple tablet going official but atleast the Apple event for January 27th which is expected to be the launch platform the iSlate and possibly reveal a new iPhone / iPhoneOS. While I still remain confused on what the iSlate would offer, we have some idea of what the iPhone OS 4.0 can show up.
Firstly it is expected that the iPhone OS 4.0 would run on the tablet aswell as the iPhone / iTouch. Amongst the new features multitasking is something we have waited for long enough and its time for the iPhone to adopt it. However we might also see Apple’s own Maps application that is rumored to be in works and will eventually replace the Google Maps native app on the touch and the iPhone. But for now all excitement waiting for the iSlate… i.e. if its coming 😛
(Apple is marketing the event as “come see our latest creation” which certainly points at a NEW product!)
