Apple's New Tablet?

A prototype video of the kind of iPhone meets MacBook tablet that Apple is (supposedly) about to launch.  I use my iPhone primarily for email, messaging, and apps, and wondered what the advantage would be of a tablet. But I could see using this kind of device now - much better for web surfing, reading (a la Kindle), and obviously a much easier interface for typing emails and documents.   (watch in HQ)

Here are some more cool demos.   Again, this is only to show what's possible on a multi-touch tablet running OS X. We'll see what Apple actually announces in the next quarter (there is a special Apple event on Sept. 9th, but that is probably to announce 1) new iPod line with cameras, 2) iTunes 9 with social integration, and 3) the Beatles catalog finally added to iTunes.)
