Despite the fact that there are a lot of rumors concerning the upcoming Apple tablet, the mythical device will soon appear in the market. The information about the gadget one can find on different blogs. But still many analysts think that that Apple tablet will alter netbook/tablet market.
But still many consider that the device will have a higher resolution and probably iPhone OS that was created specifically for a 5-inch screen size. If use Mac OS X Snow Leopard on the tablet then it will not work as the OS is not created for touchscreen use. But it is expected that tablet will base on Mac OS X.
At present many netbooks are available with 5 hours of battery life, and in order to compete with other carriers, Apple will have to provide at least 50 percent increase in battery life, about 8 hours or more.
Also the tablet should have iTunes as it will play a big role in achieving success in the market. As for wireless sync, the company should use Wi-Fi paring, as due to it, it will be able to sync between two devices by means of a router or even directly when two gadgets are near each other.
Price is also considered to be an important factor, if Apple offer its new device for $800, then it won’t find the market as at present one can purchase a netbook for about $300-$400. Apple will need to price the tablet in $500-$600 range.

i once read somewhere that OS X is very modulated, so apple could probably drop in the elements to operate the tablet via touchscreen. IMO using just the iphone os will not achieve market, a touch based version of 10.6 would work well as we can use fully fledged apps. or perhaps it will run a hybrid of both, considering that the iphone os is an OS X derivative.
