"iSlate, YouSlate, We All Slate, for iSlate"
I read an opinion piece supposing that Amazon raised royalty rates on Kindle ebooks in anticipation of the upcoming Apple tablet. In a lot of ways, that makes a ton of sense.
The Kindle is arguably the most successful personal digital gadget since the iPod and the subsequent iPhone. Is the much rumored iSlate Apple's response to the Kindle? Probably.
I've been thinking of it as a successor to the Newton, or a bigger iPhone. But its probably a lot different than those.
As I said in a previous post, I really expect the iSlate, or whatever it is called, to include a hybrid screen.
