The Mac Tablet rumor, been going around for a couple of month now, however signs of some truth are starting to come around. Recently Apple has filed patents that have led the public to believe that a release is imminent. So what will it look like, what will it feature, specs, all that are mere speculations at this point in time. But I’m sure one can draw conclusions based on their target audience, it’s gonna make a world of a difference if Apple is targeting pro designers or casual mobility user.
For casual users, or more like netbook users, who demand long battery life 10 hours+, should be very light 1kG, excellent connectivity wifi + 3G, HDMI for movies, affordable price, etc..
For Pro Designers, who are into animations, and graphical design in general they use tablets such as Wacom to draw digitally. Having a tablet means you can draw on the screen much like drawing on paper. 
This is already present, it’s called a Modbook by a company called Axiotron, you basically buy a normal Mac Book and then axiotron “mods” it for you resulting in a “ModBook” now you have a Mac Tablet.
Personally I don’t think that this is what Apple will be expected to launch. If one looks at trends you will see now that Apple is going for a more mass effect products, like iPod, like iPhone so it only makes sense that the Mac Tablet will be for more casual users. So now on to the rumor images, I love how everyone makes graphical designs of their expectations

Good news.
iPad it is a new category. It isn’t telephone, it isn’t laptop.
After some months the market will be foul from Tablets with windows, adroit.
Apple was ready and they decide to be the first company at tablet category.
But….. for me it is too match to have an iPhone 3Gs in my pocket and an iPod in my small bag.
At this time there is big economic problem at all the world. How will give 670 euros for iPhone and 700 euro for an iPad with 3g
Without 3g lost the half and the prices in Europe and Egypt will be
700$ in US=700 euro here (taxis, transportation).
So I am ready to sale my 3Gs and to buy the iPad after 2 months.
My NOKIA in the pocket and iPad in the bag will be grade.
I will have better Photos and videos and notifications for my mails so as to open them from iPad
It is a jog my friends…. I am very well with my 3Gs and my 13.3” MacBook Pro.
My bag hasn’t place for something else except macbook. And I don’t like to have all the time a bag in my hand.
My 3Gs make all I need.
iPad will me a good solution for journalists, students, Lowers, doctors e.t.c.
No for businessmen which they need to use complete office and company’s programs.
If it works with mac OSX yes. Was possible to use it for my business but the small iWork not enough for me and for the most people.
If some one has a desktop and doesn’t need laptop and his work has to make with text editors, mail, organizer, news, multimedia it is the best.
