Back in August ’09, Apple had quietly added a malware blocker to Mac OS X (Snow Leopard). However, some six months after that feature was first introduced, it seems to have been abandoned by Apple.

The folks at pocket-mint.com had a conversation with Apple’s design manufacture and they seem to indicate that Apple won’t be using the hugely popular netbook processor – Intel Atom to power their upcoming touchscreen based tablet device “iSlate”. Whether this is just a rumor or the news hold some truth, will only be found out on 26th Jan at the “Big” Apple event to be held in San Fransisco.

Apple’s rumored tablet is expected to be released in March and sell for a $1000 each.

Acording to reports, Apple is planning a major media event later this month. The event will be held on 27th January, 2007 in Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

Check out the leaked specifications for iSlate, the tablet which is being manufactured by Apple. iSlate may have a 2.26 Ghz Inter Core 2 Duo processor with 2GB RAM expandable to 8GB. iSlate will also having a built in iSight camera and 120GB SATA HDD.

Apple has not yet even officially announced or confirmed the existence of the “iSlate”, and its competitors banking on the rumors have started making tablet touchscreen devices. Many Mobiles manufacturer’s and Computer manufacturer must be waiting to see the response of the public when Apple officially announces the “iSlate”.

It looks like iPhone 4G might have built in support for 802.11n WiFi. This news comes from a recent job posting on Apple for a WiFi Software Engineer.

Fox News just confirmed from an Apple spokesperson about a “big” Apple event going to be held in San Francisco on 26th Jan. Nothing at this point is official, but my guess is Apple will be announcing about the Apple iSlate/Tablet in this event, about which we have been hearing a lot since the past few weeks

Apple plans to sell 10 million units of the Apple “iSlate” Tablet. However, it will definitely have good competition to achieve those numbers. A demo of the iSlate by Steve Jobs will definitely clear doubts about those numbers.

Engadget has launched it’s own app for iPhone/iPod touch which allows users to interact intensively with it. Features such as offline browsing and in-app tipping are sure to be a hit.

Qik has launched another app for iphone – Qik Videocamera. It allows any iPhone to locally capture video.

Domain name registration records and trademark filings appear to indicate that Apple is going to name the Apple Tablet as iSlate.

Apple Tablet may have a dynamic tactile multi-touch screen where the screen itself emulates the keyboard by creating ridges and bumps on itself.

Qik Live is a new update of Qik, a video sharing App for iPhone. It now has live video streaming which was banned until some time ago by Apple.

Apple is set to demo it’s much hyped Apple Tablet in January 2010. Apple Tablet is a mobile device with a very big display – expected to be around 7 inch. This demo will be open for only application developers probably.
