Tweet

Dear oh dear, we have more tablet-related rumors for you. This time everything comes from an Apple insider that obviously has more information available about the upcoming iSlate.

What he basically says there is that the Apple tablet is going to be an “iPhone on steroids.” If you love your iPhone then imagine a bigger version of it capable to do cooler stuff and prepare to love it too. If you hate the iPhone then imagine a bigger version of it incapable to meet your growing needs and prepare to hate it too.

But let’s see exactly what the new report suggests:

The tablet’s multi-touch gestures are “out of control.”

It’s powered by an incredibly fast ARM CPU

It runs on the iPhone kernel.

The internal model number is K48AP.

There hasn’t been an updated iPhone OS build because there’s too much tablet-related code/references in the OS and Apple obviously didn’t want that to leak. Oops.

The tablet is basically an “iPhone on steroids.”

Most of the things above have already been rumored for a long time now. And although it’s still too early to compile a rumor roundup for the Apple tablet, we’re still going to do it thanks to the helpful picture above.
