SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0) - While Microsoft (Research) has been pushing its Tablet PC operating system for a while, Apple (Research) has stayed away from the market -- so far. But there are increasing signs that Apple has a tablet computer on the drawing board. Engadget has uncovered an Apple patent filing for a tablet version of the Mac, showing an interface something like the touch-sensitive click-wheel found on the iPod. One challenge for an Apple tablet is conserving battery life -- but now that Apple has switched to Intel (Research) processors that consume less power, a Tablet Mac could be getting closer to reality.

exactly. as long as the technology advances, then it'll be useful.

I myself have never used one, but i mean PDAs are really useful, so a computer/PDA is a great invention

awesome...
