★ I’m a Calacanis fan, so I really hope this is for real

o tonight I’m on twitter and what do you know, one of my favourite web-celebs starts dropping big big hints on the hopefully, soon-to-be-released Apple iSlate, iTablet, iPad.

Now I’m a fan of Jason Calacanis, he’s done a lot for the tech industry and is constantly encouraging emerging companies, technologies, ideas, etc. He’s at the forefront of todays tech industry.

Rather than a big repost of his tweets, all of which you can read here, I’m just going to pull out a couple of my favourites…

❝ The price will be 599, 699 and 799 depending on size and memory in apple tablet. Also, wireless keyboard + monitor connection for tv ❞

❝ Apple tablet’s 2 cameras is sick feature for video conferencing: u shoot what’s in front of you + yourself. Augmented video conferncing!. ❞

❝ Apple tablet games are sick. Basically nintendo wii-level innovation. Custom farmville app is insane. Mark pincus is demoing with steve tmmr ❞

Those are some very big tips / leaks right there, I only hope that this is for real and not a press grab. Well I guess we don’t have too much longer to wait till the big press conference Apple is doing tonight / tomorrow (depending where you live).

Apart from the iTablet I’d also like to see Aperture 3, iLife 10, iPhone OS 4, and something Apple TV related.

I know I’m going back a ways here, but, see? This is why that Calcanis chap is a douche. Stop listening to him.
This article makes it pretty clear I think.

Well he hasn’t been that bad lately, so I was thinking that maybe he wasn’t too far off the mark…..but in hindsight he was full of shit and that’s a done deal as far as I’m concerned.

Anyway, I guess we won’t be 100% sure till the device actually hits the shelves.
