iSlate
According to a few sources including GizModo, Steve Jobs is planning on announcing the new Apple tablet in January of 2010. The new tablet is rumored to be called the “iSlate“. There is a lot of hype behind this new product because it could revolutionize the way magazines and newspapers are displayed.
Essentially, with the Apple tablet you’ll be able to flip through newspaper or magazine pages with the flick of a finger just like switching pages on an iPhone. Each page would have interactive images and videos that can be played, paused, rewound, and stopped at will.
Here is a demo video of how Sports Illustrated could be displayed on the new tablet:
The new tablet could boost market share for newspapers and magazines by charging for subscriptions on the device. And reportedly, Apple has turned to the NYTimes to begin working on a newspaper layout for Apple’s “new device.”
