Whatever it is, Apple will redefine how tablets are expected to work if they are in fact releasing a tablet. The dynamic tactile screen is possibly one such expectation.
Tried and true application submission and delivery platform? Really Rob? I mean, the delivery part is solid but the things I've read have suggested the submission side of things is anything but tried and true. From arbitrary application rejections to people having problems with not getting paid in a timely manner for their sales I think Apple has quite a bit of work to do on the submission side. Otherwise you're probably spot on, here's my prediction: If the Apple tablet becomes a reality, it won't do anything exceptionally innovative or spectacular but the standard Apple fanboys will hail it as another revolution in computing and shell out any price the cult of Jobs puts on it just to get the latest flavor of Cupertino Kool-Aid. OH YEAH!
It was confirmed today that the iPad does indeed use an ARM Cortex-A9 CPU. It was kind of predictable, though, given the cost/size/price/performance targets an Apple-designed device would have, and the presence of 720p was a dead giveaway.
