Can the iPad/iTablet fail to disappoint?

On one hand, you gotta Apple. What other company could generate millions of dollars in free publicity for a device that the company has never even admitted is in the works? None. Yet the tablet device has generated what must be thousands of news articles, opinion pieces and blog topics over the past several months.

On the other hand, you have to feel sorry for Apple (well, as sorry as you can for a company that's soooo successful) because, let's face it: with all the hoopla, how can the device (if it does exists) possibly fail to disappoint after all the hoopla and hype?

The only way the iPad/iTablet/iSlate can satisfy everyone is if it:

° Has a 10-inch screen;

° Costs less than US$600;

° Includes a front-facing video camera for videoconferencing;

° Includes all the features of the iPod touch;

° Sports never-seen-before features that will revolutionize the ebook, e-textbook, e-magazine and e-newspaper markets (and kill the Kindle, Sony eBook, etc., in the process);

° Has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and 4G support (the latter two optional for users);

° Has a revolutionary user interface;

° Supports all the current iPod touch apps at the Apple App Store, plus support new apps for its bigger screen;

° Has a multi-touch version of iWork;

° Support Bluetooth keyboards and mice;

° Has a built-in camera and video recorder (as well as the aforementioned webcam).

Hmmm. Have I forgotten anything? Oh yes, anti-gravity features so you can link with your iPad and it will float through the house or office, following you around to await your pleasure.


With all the features that have been bandied about, how could anything less possibly make most folks happy?
