How useful a pure table, keyboard-less device would be, I am not sure. If there were a market for such a thing, this looks like a good stab at what Apple would actually do.

A touchscreen, wih a keyboard on it is all that it needs.

I like the design, but I am convinced that when Apple inevitably does release a tablet, it will use a modified version of the Mac OS, a la iPhone. Above all else, this is the reason why Windows-powered tablets never took off, because the interface just wasn’t right.

beautiful design! wish Apple would consider doing a tablet like this…since APPLE is about design…how about integrating the WACOM function into it?

Nice, I wonder of which material the back would have been made of, with it were like the front in plastic/metal, it would scratch easily. I was thinking of a rubber back, like the docks from iPods/iPhones, so it wouldn’t slide also.

This is an ok design but I agree that it would be to thin for a DVD drive. Also with it beang completly one touchscreen they could add a fuction where you could actually type on the screen but that would take up alot of the space on the screen. I prefer one of the designs that I found on http://www.tuvie.com/ where it was still a laptop but the entire inside surface was a flexible OLED touchscreen desplay and you could bend it a to make it a tablet or it could fold even farther so that it kind of looked like a large name card that allowed it to stand up with the screen on the outside.
