- Above is an image of what the Apple tablet is going to look like. It has been widely rumored that Apple would move to an entirely touch screen notebook experience, and the confirmation of their patent today confirms those claims. What’s even more interesting is that in the last few months, Steve Wozniak, Apple’s co-founder, decided to join the board of a company called Axiotron that makes the award-winning ModBook. You guessed it, the ModBook is a custom MacBook that has been entirely repurposed to become a touch screen tablet. Currently they run at an extremelly high rate of $4,998. Funny enough, the latest edition (and best yet) will be availabe in May/June, right around the same time as the next Mac keynote. Coincidence or is the next Axiotron ModBook going to be coming out of Cupertino? Many think Wozniak joined their board to oversee the operation and technology behind creating a seamless tablet computer. I’d sday it’s more than coincidence and the next keynote will be seeing the debut of the next generation of mobile computing. Here is a clip from the patent claim by Gizmodo.
[0015]As a housing for a computer device, one embodiment of the invention includes: a front shell; a back shell coupled to said front shell to produce said housing, electrical components for the computer device being internal to said housing; and a foam stiffener provided internal to said housing to substantially fill unused space internal to said housing, thereby providing stiffness to said housing.
