The following comparison was forwarded to me by email from my friend Yossi Kahlon. The original source is unknown – but the message is clear. There are very few differences between a rock and the iPad.
Sick of Apple rumors? Burnt out by the iPad? Too bad – the rumor mill goes on! on the 26th, Apple were granted a patent on a proximity sensitive Input/Output platform. An Input/Output (or I/O) platform is any platform that helps a computing device communicate with the outside world. The details of the patent are as follows:

Yesterday we saw the start of a revolution… A revolution that was inevitable and will change the way we read.
After a breathtaking 45 minutes, we were all waiting to hear what the cost of the iPad would be.
It seems the breakdown is a bit more complex than we thought:
16GB with 3G/wifi: $629
16GB without 3G: $499
32GB with 3G/wifi: $729
We all waited for it for so long! Here it is!

CrunchGear is going to be streaming the Apple Tablet Announcement in just a couple of minutes. You can watch their stream here: http://www.livestream.com/crunchgear
The announcement is still a few minutes away and already there are 13,000 viewers!
Despite the ruthless speculations and renditions ad-nauseum, somehow I’m still interested in the Tablet!
The Apple Tablet will, in all probability be launched or at least announced today. So where to watch I just saw a tweet by Adam Ostrow directing everyone to Mashable’s special Apple Tablet page: http://mashable.com/apple-tablet/
This seems to be the weekend for retweet feature releases! I don’t know if this came out this weekend per se, but it’s the first time I’m noticing the new retweet feature being prominently displayed in the stream of my iPhone’s TweetDeck! Pretty freaking awesome. I first noticed it when a tweet showed up in my stream that was not from someone I was following. Then, I realized there was a little yellow retweet sign made famous by twitter’s new project retweet!
The other night I had the pleasure of hearing a great panel of speakers at the Roger Smith Hotel. The forum was a DigitalSomethings production (#dsnyc), and featured Mashable Editor-in-Chief Adam Ostrow, NY Times Tech Journalist Jenna Wortham, ABC UN reporter Dan Patterson, and David Weiner who is Emerging media manager for PR Newswire. When the subject of the Apple Tablet came around, feelings were mixed. Of course, we’re all throwing articles around about what the Tablet is before any of us really know, but we all have a general idea – and our panelists definitely had their reservations.
