I have been waiting for Apple to input themselves into the gaming console market. After seeing the success of games on the iPhone, it makes sense that they want to have one device solely dedicated to gaming. I wouldn't be surprised if we see an announcement about a bigger console that can compete with the likes of the Wii, 360, and PS3. It would be a smart move for Apple to do so; we'll see what this conference will hold.
You actually think that Apple has chance in this market? I mean Sony and Microsoft have soo many exclusives in there grasp not many atrractions there for a console from apple. Plus the ARC(eye toy) and Natal coming out i'd doubt that Apple would stand a chance in this market... althought i may be worng since they have brought out quiete some wonders like the iphone. *-)
It would be hard for them to begin with I think, but there are so many Apple fans out there that buy anything the company puts out. I think that if Apple has the right hardware and uses the right technology, they could give Sony and MS a run for their money. It won't be an easy road if that is the one that Apple decides to take.
Honestly I don't think it'll stand a chance but I sorta thought the same thing about the first xbox as it was a new console and look what its achieved.
I wonder if Dell will get annoyed with them already having the Dell Slate name in an upcoming product.
As much as i like apple i have a gut feeling the iSlate will be $1000+ What market is it aimed at? from what i hear its basically iPod touch with a big screen, same os and so on...
