Star Unofficial Mac Tablet Draws Record Crowd at Macworld
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 12th Jan 2007 00:36 UTC
Apple Axiotron, together with distribution partner Other World Computing, is drawing huge crowds at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco this week, as attendees flock to take its new Mac OS X-based 'ModBook' tablet computer for a test run. Unveiled on Tuesday, the USD 2279 device is an after-market hardware modification to Apple's MacBook notebook line. The companies claim it's the 'first ever Mac OS X tablet computer solution'. Each ModBook starts off as a MacBook Core 2 Duo but undergoes a surgical operation where its original display and keyboard are severed, then replaced with a new 13.3-inch Wacom pen enabled widescreen display set in a chrome-plated magnesium top shell. The device runs the current version of Mac OS X and utilizes that software's built-in Inkwell handwriting recognition.

I don't want one! I prefer a real keyboard.

But I can see the "cool" factor I guess.

I do like a real keyboard as well but I could live with a laser keyboard with clicker feedback.
