Date? 2010 is the only commitment. Screen size? Looks like nine or ten inches. Specs? Nothing is known. It looks reasonably thin, though not shockingly so - I fully expect the Apple slate device being announced tomorrow to be much thinner...but keep in mind that the Apple slate device is rumoured to be running the iPhone/iPod Touch operating system, not the OS X you find on Macbooks. There's a huge difference between the requirements of a full desktop OS and a mobile OS, so it's not a fair comparison - though I'm sure the comparison will get made anyway. 2010 is certainly shaping up to be the year of the slate computer, that's for sure!</p>
