iPad to be Followed by the iBoard and iMat
Now that the iPad is here we have to wonder what Apple will launch next. The company seems interested in putting to good use that iPhone OS mobile platform so we might be in for some hot new products in the near future.

This year alone Apple will launch the Wi-Fi iPad versions in March and the 3G iPad models in April. Soon after, in June or July the company will launch the next-gen iPhone, the iPhone 4G but we want more.
Sources close to Cupertino have revealed two Apple projects that are currently being secretly developed. The iBoard and the iMat are based both on the iPad and will further explore the tablet world.
Just like the iPad is an iPhone on steroids the iBoard will be an iPad on steroids too. It will have all the functionalities of the iPad and the iPhone but it will come with a far more impressive touchscreen display. We expect the iBoard to sport at least a 17-inch display and run a next-generation iPhone OS version. Developers have plenty of time to conceive special apps for it as the iBoard is coming only in 2012 or later.

However Cupertino won’t stop there! No matter how generous the screens of the iPad and iBoard really are, they can’t suit all needs. That’s why Apple has come up with the iMat, an iBoard on steroids that looks like a huge iMat, but it’s a lot cooler. Using the iMat, an indoor only tablet, you’ll be able to kiss your home’s desktop and big screen TV goodbye. The iMat will offer you a phenomenal experience but each unit will come bundled with a 2-year lease of an apartment big enough to fit the huge iMat.
Neither the iBoard nor the iMat, scheduled for 2014 will have Flash support but by then HTML5 should be able to replace all our Flash needs. Multitasking will not be supported either since it will be simply to tiring to try to use more than one app at once on the iBoard or the iMat.
Last but not least I hope you do recognize a joke when you see one. The iBoard and iMat are not Apple projects and hopefully they will never be. They are simply the fruit of a wild imagination which we definitely appreciate here on TFTS.

Funny Article. I really hope thats not the way Steve Jobs is thinking(pod>tablet>board>mat). bookmarked
I laughed! If you could age Jobs’ face a little, that would be a nice touch, don’t you think?
Well, Bob the pictures do not belong to us. I think there’s a hidden point in them too. By 2014 Steve Jobs will not age anymore! :)
i have to buy a truck if iam going to get the imat
they should make an iTable or an iWall, that would be awesome (:
I love the look of the iboard I wish it was out earlier than 2012 because I’m going to buy it
you do realize they have done this already…
STOP GIVING APPLE RESTARTED IDEAS!
hhahaha this is not real,right?
THIS IS SO FAKE JUST LOOK @ THE PICTURE ITS REPEATING APPS THATS NOT EVEN NORMAL LIKE SERIOUS
GOOD TRY WHO EVER MADE THIS BUT THIS IS SO FAKEEEEE!!!!
@james, I think we made it pretty clear it’s fake, didn’t we?
Haha, I hope this comes out because ill buy it just to say i have an iMat! Lol! Anyone else think that if Apple made an iTV or something it would be a smash hit, only for the fact that you can buy Apps, it would be touchscreen, and you buy Movies and watch T.V :) Whatever im just babbling off I think these projects (considering if they were real) are going to be great, but really expensive!
sooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like the i mat and i board
Of course, they’re not real, you know that, right?
…and you only tell us now? :-)
well i guess we are all buying trucks
I really hope apple make these devices, it’s so cool
