Mac Tablet from Other World Computing / Axiotron
Other World Computing pre-announced the Axiotron ModBook today.... a 3rd party Mac "tablet computer solution".
The ModBook is a Mac tablet computer solution with these features:
Write and draw directly on screen!
True pen & handwriting recognition
Built in iSight Camera
Integrated CD/DVD combo drive
The ONLY Mac solution with an optional built-in Global Positioning System
Aircraft grade magnesium alloy for all terrain use
The ModBook will apparently be a heavily modified MacBook in the tablet form-factor and will be officially unveiled at Macworld Expo on January 9th. A hands-on trial of the device will be available at that time.
A veiled image of the product can be seen at at Axiotron's website.
This year, MacRumors will be posting photos and reports from Macworld booths. A Macworld San Francisco sub-forum has been opened and we encourage vendors to register and participate in the discussion of their products.

Since when do other people.. companies make Mac hardware?
Furthermore since when do other people make computers that can run OS X.

Are you serious? In all seriousness, has the validity of this been checked. I checked the link and it left me a bit skeptical. Plus there is now way apple would let someone else make a computer that they have using their os.
IS THIS REAL?

I want a real clone, not a mod :(
Changing the ROM with some PC notebooks is enough to let it install a normal MacMini osX DVD, it can't be long until someone offer's a osX compatible PC's. Right?

Like I said all throughout 2006, 2007 will be the year that Apple breaks into new markets and does to them what the iPod/iTunes combination did to the digital music player/legal online content distribution markets.
Gentlemen, THIS IS WAR!!! :cool:
