Apple delivers an intuitive and responsive multitouch touch experience to my iPhone and the iPod touch. I want multitouch capability from my tablet.<br /><br /><strong>2 Virtual Keyboard</strong><br />No troubles with my iPhone's virtual keyboard, it makes sense for my Apple tablet. With a full multitouch display, it makes sense to have a virtual keyboard.<br /><br /><strong>3 Full Remote Connectivity</strong><br />WIFI with N draft, 3G, 4G or HSPA... wireless connectivity is an absolute must for my Apple Tablet to connect from anywhere. <br /><br /><strong>4 BlueTooth Integration</strong><br />Put on my stereo Bluetooth earbuds and watch my favorite movie on the tablet — anytime, anyplace without wires! <br /><br /><strong>5 Awesome Battery</strong><br />Dreaming of a 5 day battery life between charges. But, really, willing to settle for 8 hours.<br /><br /><strong>6 Apple App Store</strong><br />Like it does with the iPhone, Apple App Store needs to be a key application in its tablet... more apps woout!<br /><br /><strong>7 Mail</strong><br />Mail is a must-have by design, need to access e-mail on my Apple Tablet.<br /><br /><strong>8 USB Ports</strong><br />My Apple Tablet needs a USB port for expandability. As required.<br /><br /><strong>9 SD Card Slot</strong><br />Again, SD card slot for expandability and storage.<br /><br /><strong>10 Price</strong><br />Must be priced Under $600.00AMShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04967051529264150640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561504016270488502.post-90299095404177736682009-12-12T22:55:00.003-05:002009-12-12T23:05:34.024-05:00Winzero Product Demo?Winzero staff member Brian Kershaw hard at work onsite at the Microsoft Windows 7 Lounge. <br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pad7Xcoj8k8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pad7Xcoj8k8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />WinzeroTECH demonstartes latest....
