The highly anticipated Apple Tablet/iSlate/iPad is being announced today. Mahalo founder Jason Calacanis on his Twitter profile leaked some of the presumed features of the new device. He has been playing with one for the past two weeks. If what he says proves to be true, then Steve Jobs will once again have out done himself. But, the road to success hasn’t always been an easy one for Apple and their list of bombed devices almost out weights their successes. Jason lists the following features.
- connects to other tablets over wifi for gaming
- two cameras for video conferencing, one in the front and one in the back
- solar panel to help recharge the battery
- thumbpads on each side for mouse gestures
- fingerprint identification
- runs multiple apps at the same time
- OLED screen
- price will be $599, $699 and $799 depending on size and memory
- built in HDTV tuner and pvr
- wireless keyboard and mouse for TV
Fans have their hopes set so astronomically high there could well be a major letdown looming. But if it can do everything we're dreaming it can, maybe it will be that next leap forward. We’ll have to wait and see what materializes later today.

Definately a disappontment, however this is version 1.0...
