Apple Tablet on Video Again – MacTablet, Apple iProd, iSlate, iTablet…. Whatever it’s Called it Looks Nice

by Jay Garrett on December 12, 2009

tabelt macIt does sound like this Apple Tablet or something similar is going to be coming pretty soon but I really doubt that this is it.

But, saying that, it’s still worth a look at the video.

The flick was posted by French site nowhereelse.fr and their Mac Tablet looks thin, light and is rockin a great touchscreen that helps getting around the interwebs – and the Ikea catalogue by the looks of things.

This mock-up has everything that you’d want and expect from the iProd: Accelerometer support? Check. iPhone-stlyee interface? Present. Flick gestures? Gottem.

The tablet niceness also has Coverflow as you’d expect but I can’t see any evidence of multitouch which makes me think that this might not be the pukka device. What it does have instead is the rather funky ‘long press’ that brings pop-up menus.

If this is the kind of thing that the iTablet is going to bring then I’m guessing there’s going to be some very nervous eReader’s out there.

Planika Lights Up Your Room and Furniture!

by Jay Garrett on May 18, 2008

Glass Planika FireNope – the table isn’t on fire and that’s not a burning waste paper basket.

Planika Fires lets you have a fire in the middle of your coffee table (should you wish) thanks to a proprietary liquid biofuel called Fanola, which burns completely smoke and smell free.

Fanola, the company says, is a biologically clean product which emits nothing but water vapor and CO2.

The fireplace technology comes in a variety of designs, so you can mix and match with every piece of Ikea/Habitat furniture ever created.

Pricing info aint available just yet.
