Real Info about Apple's iSlate and its Gaming Aspect

Slashgamer Writes: "Jason Calancanis, the founder of such websites as Joystiq and Engadget, has gone on his twitter and spilled the beans about Apple's heavily rumored tablet PC. According to the entrepreneur, Apple asked him if he would go on television and talk about the importance of the tablet once its announced tomorrow, When he agreed to do the work, Apple sent over three guys, for security reasons, and dropped off the "iSlate," the rumored named of the device."

That thing just became a want, even though I know an upgraded version will be out next year.

[Sitdown]

I might want one...but would be in limbo...because like you said, there will be another next year. So perhaps I will see what kind of kinks are worked out..

[butterfinger]

for the rumors to be over already. I want to see some concrete specs and a confirmed price tag.

I just need a price tag , i'm already convinced after years of trying various tablet pc that this is the only good one out there , in the foreseable future ... based on a better interface alone

this thing is actually wot id spend money on. something small light i can use in bed to read books,comics and just surf,im not concernd about the gaming side,but im sure ill play some. if this can be used as a phone and be able to do full mac applications that would be cool,but since its off an advanced iphone os then im not sure.

anyway,the market will be flooded with these and cheaper,but apple will no doubt have the style,as always

I'm loving the irony of this. I mean the guy who helped with the Crunchpad/JooJoo was recently screwed over and forced out of his deal. Now the iSlate is being released around the same time as the JooJoo and it is obvious which one has real value.
JooJoo=FAIL pretyy much wasted R&D there.
