netpirate Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I was looking at my ipod touch today and thinking about how apple are yet to release a netbook to rival the asus or the msi and I suddenly thought of an idea they could use. If they are able to fit so much into a single ipod touch then imagine two ipods which would fold togather like a laptop. It would be super portable; pocket size infact and could use each touch screen, one as a display and the other as a keyboard/mouse. it would lack certain things such as a CD drive as does any other netbook but it could include many things too! USB shouldnt be a problem if they are able to fit them into a macbook air. Obviously a few minor changes to the over all appearance but other than that i think it is a good concept.. i would love to do it myself but i have no where near enough ability to hack two ipods into one or even enough money to risk on such a project If anyone has had the same idea or a better one I'd love to ponder more Quote
moonlit Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 There have been rumours lately about such a thing, but it's more likely (if you believe said rumours) that it'll be like a giant iPod Touch, a tablet form rather than a laptop. That said, you can install OSX on a generic netbook just fine with a little work and attention. Quote
netpirate Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 Thats kewl.. I hadn't heard the rumour and yes I know about OSX on netbooks because i got it working beautifully on my MSI wind Quote
VaKo Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 The iSlate could be interesting, but this is apple. They could take the choice of selling it like a laptop, ie an open platform you can install any old crap onto if you fancied, like there macbooks. Or they could sell it like a big ipod, a locked down, limited platform designed to make as much cash as possible. If they sell it like a PC, I will get one, but if it turns out to be a big iPhone i'll add it to the list of Greatest Misses. Quote
cykio Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 the list of Greatest Misses. Apple misses or general computer misses? And what may I inquire is on said list? Quote
MacBook1137 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Actually, there are rumors for Apple to release an Apple Netbook this September. Most likely they are trying to get back to school kids to buy it. The rumors say that the price will range around 800 bucks. Quote
wh1t3 and n3rdy Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I can run OS X on better hardware for cheaper. Fuck apple. Quote
