Apple Tablet, iPhone OS V.4 And New iLife: This Makes Sense


Few hours ago Clayton Morris at FOXNews posted what he knows will be revealed at Apple January 27th event, and it makes sense to me.

On his post at FOXNews, Clayton says:

[…]

I spoke to a source at Apple this morning, before the invite hit my inbox, who said the event would likely focus on three projects: The tablet device, iPhone 4, and a new round of iLife 2010 software. While we won’t see new iPhone hardware just yet, we will see the next-generation software

[…]

Thus we are going to see:

  • the Apple Tablet;
  • iPhone OS v.4;
  • iLife 2010.

I don’t like rumors, but if the long awaited Apple Tablet is going to be revealed at the event, the whole thing seems reasonable.

The Apple Tablet is told to be sporting something in the middle between current iPhone OS V.3 and the PC class Mac OS X, thus the core of the Tablet itself could be a new iPhone OS, bringing together the power of the desktop version of Mac OS X and the clever touch interface of iPhone OS.

If you call this iPhone OS v.4, Apple will us some insight into the new OS. The new version could also be scalable, so that you can adopt it both on Smartphones like the iPhones or on more powerful hardware like the Tablet.

And then comes iLife, which I expect to be place in the clouds, like Google Documents. This has been told before and speculated many times, but now it makes sense as it could be part of the new Tablet experience and services that Apple may want to sell to us. And it could also be available for iPhone users.

I here dare too much, but the possible event schedule could be as follows:

  • the new iPhone OS v.4;
  • the iLife 2010 cloud suite;
  • the Apple Tablet (introduced by a cathartic “… one more thing…”).

Feel free to comment on my brainstorming in the comment area, while we wait for the ground truth on January 27th.
