Rumor: Apple palmtop in the works?

O’Grady’s PowerPage reports that Apple is working on a “mini-laptop,” similar to the long-dead eMate (remember them?).

The PowerPage EU bureau has been beamed some details of a secret development team planning specifications for the release of a new mini laptop. ...We’re told that it will finally utilize Apple’s Inkwell technology to “write anywhere” and neatly fold into your pocket - rather like an enlarged Motorola RAZR V3 mobile phone with a keyboard.

PowerPage is not normally regarded as a rumor site.

thinkback

1.

If it’s true it’s nice to see that Apple is finally offically recognising the value of pen computing (or I guess it’s really Steve Jobs). On the other hand, if they do it in such a small form factor and don’t bundle it with a cell phone I don’t think it will catch on.

2.

I wouldn’t mind a Mac tablet, myself--except that my handwriting can be atrocious. MY lower-case “g,” for example, sometimes looks like an “s.”
