Magic Trackpad?
The great folks over at Patently Apple chime in that the USPTO (that’s United States Patent and Trademark Office for those of you who aren’t good with acronyms) publicized an application for a trademark that was filed earlier in the week by none other than Apple. The trademark that was trying to be granted: “Magic Trackpad”. Follwing the rest of the file, Apple requested registration for the name in several International Class 009 categories relating to a bunch of computer stuff, including several peripheral devices.
International Class 009: Computers; computer software; computer operating system software; computer utility software; computer hardware; computer peripherals; scanners; touchscreens; keyboards; computer mice; trackballs; trackpads; touchpads; light pens; joysticks; game controllers; graphics tablets; digitizers; cables and connectors; flash memory drives; USB drives; solid state storage devices; barcode readers.
Now, its not really crystal clear what the name is being applied to, such as a new, redesigned trackpad for the MacBooks or a separate trackpad device. However, there has been some whispering about a Multi-Touch “trackpad gadget” that Apple is speculatively developing, that is, according to John Gruber. John Gruber is the same guy who accurately predicted the intro to several Apple products ahead of a launch event back in October¦except for this trackpad device he was blabbing about. Then the rumor gained traction and took off like a B-19 into the air when the whole iSlate and Magic Slate trademark finding surfaced. Now at that point-in-time, the iPad was being talked about all over the industry (and the Net of course¦most definitely the Net!) which, eventually, was later introduced as the iPad (thus, eliminating the whole iSlate theory). With this new finding after the iPad intro back in January, It is looking like Apple is planning to try and wow us again with something. Which, typically, they do very well. They have made it a habit apparently, being all their event are SRO (Standing Room Only, and we are not joking. Apple doesn’t like empty seats).
I believe the iSlate is still in the works and will have OSX.
I thought the iSlate turned into the iPad.
iSlate sounds interesting for sure.
Man, Apple doesn’t tell anyone anything do they?
Not too sure about that. Apple is very secretive these days..
Well it’s part of the marketing effort to keep their ideas secret. This way it creates the anticipation in the market. That is why they skyrocket for every new product launch!
iSlate is the apple tablet. Which is now known as the iPad
Nice information. apple is rocking all the time.
Thanks a lot for sharing. You always come with great stuff.
The trackpad just came out recently, it’s not that great of a product.

Did everybody now when the update ios 4.3 for iphone4 comes?
There have been some rumors going about that Apple has pulled AirPrint from the final release of iOS 4.2. Apparently, a rumor came about yesterday claiming that Apple has axed the feature from the iOS 4.2 final release because of some unforeseen circumstances. Distraught by the speculated exemption of the features, a customer decided to shoot Steve Jobs a letter about it to get a further understanding of the matter. Steve replied saying that AirPrint has not been cut from the final version of the anticipated software update.
