The details and the sources are a bit sketchy, but it seems our baseless, heavily speculative (meaning we were either drunk, high or both at the time, and it just so happened that we were discussing it. You know how these things go.) “MacPad” prediction might prove to be true. Based on a “good source,” Techcrunch posted a rumor that says Apple may already be working on a tablet that’ll run on a modified Mac OS X operating system to make for a more full-featured, more powerful device that’s more “Mac” than “iPhone.” But then again, Apple is always working on multiple projects—some that turn out to be the iPad, and some that will never see the light of day. Techcrunch’s unnamed source cuts the timeline though, saying that the “MacPad” could be out as soon as next year.
