Ask HN: Predictions for Apple's event tomorrow
Will we see a divided App store? One for iPhones only and one for the new Tablet?
Will Apple get into the music subscription business? What about video?
What will the tablet cost and will it be subsidized through deals with major carriers?
Is the Kindle's destruction imminent?
How the hell would one type on it if you're on the go?
Will it have some kick ass speech rec and/or TTS to make interfacing it easier?
Camera in the front for skype calls?
Battery life/screen size/OLED..?
- gphil 17y agoI predict that the OS will have far more features than people are expecting, and will perhaps be closer to Snow Leopard in terms of functionality than to the iPhone OS. I can't imagine Steve Jobs being "really proud of" a giant iPod touch--there's got to be something more to it than that.

- amatheus 17y agoI think that, with the tablet, apple will try to redefine the computer experience for people less used to computers -- they'll try to make the computer more like the iPhone, make it simpler by dropping features. I think it will maybe run one application at a time, have no hierarchical file system, things like that. But, I don't think it will use the same iPhone apps. It will be a different platform, very similar to the iPhone but not equal; apps will be much more sophisticated, and there will be more emphasis on creating content than consuming content.
