Apple Tablet Destined for Greatness

Media hype continues for the upcoming Apple Tablet and I'm as anxious as any other Apple fan. While pictures have been seen in the wild there have been no official announcements. I'm more excited about the Apple Tablet than any other Apple product right now It's the perfect fit between a laptop and an iPod Touch. I frequently use the Touch as a mobile personal computer around my house for email, Facebook, browsing, etc but find that the size isn't big enough. I wouldn't want to carry a laptop around my house with me due to its size, weight and the need to type. Windows tablets are out because they are basically laptops with a touch screen. Netbooks are light and small, but too keyboard dependent. The Apple Tablet will fit nicely between all of these options. Apple's implementation has the chance of becoming a household standard in the next ten years for many markets. I'm anxious to see what the keyboard experience is like and how it will interact with other devices on my network. Outside of the house, I'm interested to see what type of traveling companion it might become. Trying to imagine how people will use it in Starbucks. It would be great to see a camera on the front side! The product release could still be months away, but no reason not to get excited about it now!
