The whole world’s eyes on Apple technology, which is preparing to unveil
its latest creation in the midst of a maelstrom of speculation that it is
a Tablet PC.
At 1800 GMT Wednesday that the company hold a news conference in San
Francisco to the launch of new products.
Media and technology blogs have been in overdrive, amid rumors that the
product is a less compressed keyboard.
For weeks on a series of photos and videos were released to illustrate the
new scheme.
You never know what could not Apple in a particular Wednesday is not in
January, said Mike Gartenberg, Vice President of Strategy and analysis of
the market research firm Interpret.
One thing is certain, we know that we will see a device type or class of
device. The money is a safe product is a tablet or slate computer that
traditionally closes the gap between smartphones and laptops.
The question is why Apple has here a different view of this category?
It must be something that one reason, of course, and not something that
lives between a phone and a computer, Mr Gartenberg said to exist at the
BBC.
So far the Tablet market with an average income of around 950 million U.S.
dollars (597M) is considered.
But many observers believe Apple will do for this industry sector what the
iPod is not for MP3 players.
Apple said it sold 21m iPods last quarter, while conforming to a decline
of 8% over the previous year, the company holds 70% market share.
Our base scenario assumes that the new tablet four million parts, 3.2
billion U.S. dollars (2.1 billion euros) in revenues and earnings of 82
cents per share, added in 2010, but we see upside potential six million
units said Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty.
Interpr tation M. Gartenberg convenu.
Apple is not building products for tens of thousands of fans. These are
the products of the construction of ten million customers, he said.
Speculation about what raged this mythical device, sometimes called Jesus
Tablet actually is.
The closest students of these trends are as blogs and fan sites of Apple,
which investigated the alleged leak and assert patents from various
manufacturers and people who have real photographs.
Apple’s an incredible job keeping this thing is done in secret, said Paul
Miller, editor of the technology blog Engadget, the BBC said.
We followed eight years of rumors and speculation about the Apple tablet
device, and here we are on the eve of the announcement is great and
virtually no concrete information about this, Miller said.
Among the rumors is that the gadget will be a gaming device, a reader e-
iPhone killer or very large.
Multi-touch is the center of everything.
Apple is on the lookout for a new paradigm for UI, which replaces the
fingers of the mouse and keyboard, said Leander Kahney, author and
founder Steve CultofMac.com brain, a book on Apple, Steve Jobs.
It is a very important step in computing in general. The tablet is
expected that with the Internet via Wi-Fi and 3G cellular networks.
