Tablet predictions

What a tablet computer can be:

(possible forecasts for the Apple tablet)

1. Have an aspect ration of the 'Golden Ratio' Phi (φ) 1.618. Possible resolution of screen (under the commercial availability as of Jan 2010) 1280x800 or 1280x768 (or perhaps even 1440x900.) About 10 inches diagonal.

2. Have a finger and gesture touch interface. No pointer on the screen. Designed to function with fingers, not stylous.

3. Have more 3D (real or 3d-looking) user interface elements, like coverflow and the date-time picker found previously on the iPhone OS. 3D looking home page(s.)

4. Runs on arm cpu and has 3D acceleration.

  1. 6. Will have one or more 3D workspaces (desktops) like bunptop (http://bumptop.com/.) A perspective 3D view of several surfaces.

    7. Later versions will adopt the novel Imagetron visualisations methods for browsing images by Visual Perception.
