More Evidence for an Apple Tablet

I mentioned in a previous post that it looked like Apple might be considering putting out a Mac with the Tablet form factor. Engadget are reporting that Apple are now looking for a new handwriting recognition engineer, so maybe this idea isn't as far fetched as some were claiming.

I've said before that I think the Tablet is a great idea, and that I really want one. At the moment, they're in a bit of a niche position. Most manufacturers are producing them, with the notable exception of Dell, and they're not really seen currently as anything more than a toy.

The competition from Apple might just be good for the form factor, and encourage the likes of Dell to take Tablet machines seriously.
