I predict as of this writing Apple will introduce a Touch screen tablet (iTablet) and finally make tablet computing usable. Everything is in place for Apple to do it. Just make bigger versions of the iPod Touch and iPhone. I'm not the first to predict this (see iTablet) but after using it - WOW.
I bought the iPod Touch recently. It is absolutely fantastic - the best mobile computing device I've ever used. Everything about it is fantastic. Hats off to the Apple team. Everything is right. The challenges of introducing a new type of interface (touch) and nailing it requires tremendous leadership.
There is one little issue - data input. Typing on a screen keyboard sucks and I've not gotten used to it! For the iTablet you need voice recognition for data input. I touch the URL and say the url, not type it in. That would be sweet. All the technology exists for that.
