AmTech: "50% Chance" New Apple Tablets Next Week (AAPL)

Peter Kafka | June 5, 2008 9:20 AM

newton.jpgFinally, an entertaining prediction for next week's WWDC event. AmTech's Shaw Wu forsees a "50% chance" we'll see a "hybrid between a Mac and iPod Touch" on Monday -- some sort of touchscreen device with either a 4-inch or 7-inch screen. That sounds a whole lot like a tablet computer to us -- a device that's seemed like a no-brainer for years, but really hasn't taken off. Ask Bill Gates. Or, for that matter, Steve Jobs, who tried this many moons ago with the Newton.

In any case, Shaw isn't banging the desk that hard on this prediction: "Timing is not clear, but we believe these devices will eventually be brought to market.". The rest of his WWDC forecast:

  • 3G iPhone at current $399 iPhone price; old iPhone discounted by $50 to $100.
  • New iPhone features: Thinner; better keyboard, GPS.
  • New Macs "less likely"; anticipates "radically refreshed design this summer or fall."

Steve Jobs had nothing to do with the creation of the Newton MessagePad. That was project started several years after he left the company in 1985. It was spearheaded by John Sculley. In fact, it was canceled by Steve Jobs about about a year after his return due to limited resources, initial disappointments and incorrect marketing. Even though it was released too early in its development process in 1993, it had some very innovative technology for that time and many of its issues were later resolved (i.e. handwriting, etc) and found their way into other projects (iPod, Mac OS X, etc).

It'll be a 9" screen and it won't be out until later in the year. I suppose they might announce though if they are trying to prep for developers.

50% chance. Those are pretty non-committal odds.
I can play that game, "There is a 50% chance Apple will introduce a combination teleporter/time-machine. Either they will or they won't."

This from the same guy that recently down-graded the stock, then a week later after it rallied, upgraded the stock.

Anyone making a 50% prediction should be shot. That has to be the most useless prediction I've seen. These guys get paid?
