soupsoup: New details emerge from WSJ Device will have a virtual keyboard. A camera will be included, intended to allow multiple users to have different profiles on the device triggered by face recognition. The New York Times, Conde Nast, HarperCollins Publishers and News Corp. appear to be on board with selling content on the device through a virtual news stand that resembles iTunes. A “best of TV” subscription service that would allow users to purchase packages of four to six shows from each network that they could watch on demand. Finally a name that actually makes sense. MacBook touch seems much more in Apple’s wheel house than “iPad” or “iSlate” or whatever multitude of crap names people have speculated it might be.

  • Device will have a virtual keyboard.
  • A camera will be included, intended to allow multiple users to have different profiles on the device triggered by face recognition.
  • The New York Times, Conde Nast, HarperCollins Publishers and News Corp. appear to be on board with selling content on the device through a virtual news stand that resembles iTunes.

Finally a name that actually makes sense. MacBook touch seems much more in Apple’s wheel house than “iPad” or “iSlate” or whatever multitude of crap names people have speculated it might be.
