First Review of The iSlate! (Sort Of…)

There must have been a glitch over on Walt Mosspuppet’s blog as his hands-on with the iSlate — which hasn’t yet been announced — is now live. Take advantage of the sneak peek while you can. I’m pretty sure he’s taking a nap and won’t notice for a while.

My favorite parts of his review include his enummeration of all the iSlate’s amazing capabilities. For instance, it “recognizes other objects near itself” and “the entire case of the device is touch sensitive, just like the magic mouse.” Though I could do without seeing him fondle the back that way. It seems as though the iSlate will also have more, um, personal features as Mosspuppet advises users to “rub the iSlate all over your body” because “it feels so Goooooood!”

I don’t even know what to say to that.

While it’s beyond cool that the iSlate has a button that makes a unicorn appear at the door with pizza, what I’m not hearing from Mosspuppet is a description of features I’d actually use. The device runs an enhanced iPhone OS, according to the puppet best journalist in the world.  But I don’t really need a bigger iPhone, I need something that allows me to do a bit of work while I’m getting messages from Steve Jobs telling me he loves me. Or… wait, is that not going to happen to everyone’s iSlate? Damn. I want one way less now.

Check out the very funny video of the world’s first look at the iSlate here. What will be even more hilarious is if the device we (maybe) see next week looks anything close to that.
