Like I have been saying for quite some time now, the age of the tablet is definitely upon us. There is no doubting the fact that every company that has ever made a portable computing device is thinking about making a tablet. In fact, companies with no experience at all in such things are stepping in. Not to mention all the startups with their own tiny ideas about what a tablet should be like. I say tiny because they lack the vision (and the funding) to do something really extraordinary. It takes visionaries to build entire markets out of nowhere.
One such visionary has definitely been Google. As an entity, it has really done a lot of things differently and has shown the world that an ethos built around simplicity and minimalism can really make a lot of business sense. But when the search engine giant started to diversify into hardware, it really was something to take a look at. They are still getting there actually, as they are expected to release the first ever Google branded hardware tomorrow (the 5th) at the Android conference at Mountain View. Yes, I am talking about the Nexus One. But I am more excited about another piece of news that has not attracted as much attention as it probably should’ve.

Even if if the Apple Tablet/iSlate does not get released, this year is gearing up to be the year of the tablet. With many tablets about to be released this year and many more simmering in labs all around the globe — we are going to see a deluge of touchy-feely devices this year. Here’s a list of the things that you can expect this year. Most of them are new entrants or little-known companies but some of the devices are pretty attractive.
Do remember that these are first generation devices, so the core design philosophy is what actually counts here. Get over to other side for the whole list.

Apple is probably one of most watched companies in the current tech industry. After taking the mobile phone industry completely by storm and making another iTunes (Music) Store success story out of it, the bystanders and the competitors have become wiser now — Apple is definitely up to something. A lot of things in fact, if all the rumors are to be believed. But since they can’t all be believed, here’s your distilled dose of what 2010 is expected to be like for Apple.
Apple’s secrecy is legendary by now. They are so good that other companies should probably learn from them. Thanks to this obsessive need for secrecy, we hardly know anything about what Apple has got cooking in their labs. So we subsist on sifting through rumors. This of course generates unimaginable hype for Apple but they are a company that has perfected the art of under-promising and over-delivering. From profit projections to devices, they do it every time. So we are always in a dilemma about how much to stretch our imagination.
I will try to keep mine on a tight leash for the following list and give you the things that I think Apple is really about to do.
