5 Reasons Why the Apple iSlate Will Be a Failure

If Apple introduces a tablet next year, they only need to add one thing... allow iPhone docking to enable the following features (I posted this on other blogs):

1. Cell phone calling using existing account and wifi features. No need to have two ATT accounts and no need for cel phone/wifi hardware.

2. iPhone and computer users don't have to buy new software because it will run iPhone apps using the iPhone CPU and also have a built-in Intel C2D CPU as co-processor with ATI or nVidia GPU to run full OSX apps (and also run Windows7 via Bootcamp or VMware). This combination will make the iSlate the fastest portable computer/cel phone.

3. Will use the iPhone camera as a second camera to the built-in one in the iSlate. It would be positioned opposite the other, the built-in one is for iChat/video MMS facing the user. A real video phone solution which is going to be the main reason to buy one.

Apple already offers a $599 computer in a 6.5 sq inch Mac MIni. It uses 2.5" HD and SODIMMs used by laptops, just add LCD and 8 hr batteries already used in laptops. <www.apple.com/macmini/...;

This docking feature will save a lot of money in manufacturing thus will allow Apple it's 35% margin and still sell for $600-$800.

Apple iPhone 3GS vs. Palm Pre: Are Consumers Satisfied?

All the fuss about iPhone's lack of multitasking on third-party apps didn't even show up on the iPhone dislikes and proved to be a non-issue. I already know what the #1 thing the anti-AAPL and MSFT shills will say... all 30 million iPhone users must be drinking the kool-aid ;P

Who Will Win the Home Entertainment Battle?

Xbox360 and the Red Circle of Death <support.microsoft.com/...; ?? This sounds more like a hobby than AppleTV. I'd buy PS3 with blue ray before I consider xbox.

Was the iPhone Deal Worth It for AT&T?

it sucks to pay that initial investment money for future growth.

The real question should be, how long will it take for ATT to see a return on this deal.
