Modbook News (Updated)

Posted on:  December 14, 2007


Monday, December 24, 2007 – Finally, I got an email from OTHER WORLD COMPUTING (distributor for the Modbook) instructing me to make changes and upgrades to my order from February in preparation for shipment on or before January 8, 2008.
Naturally I upgraded my memory and hard drive capacity to go along with the 2.2 ghz Intel Dual Core processor and dual layer DVD super drive….
Credit to Axiotron for following up on their estimate of a late 2007 shipment. (well, January 2008 is close enough…)
So the countdown’s on. I won’t play “What’s in the Box?” with you again.. I think it’ll be pretty obvious so i’ll just go straight for the pictures. Naturally my full review will follow soon after I put the machine through it’s paces.
Yes Lou, there is a Santa Claus……

Here’s the latest regarding the much delayed, but highly anticipated Apple Macintosh Tablet solution, the AXIOTRON MODBOOK.….
According to my highly reliable source from within the company itself:

“Axiotron will be fulfilling pre-orders in the priority they were taken starting in late December……”

…which is about right now! Axiotron is also proud to announce that they are now an official Apple Proprietary Solution Provider which means the technology behind the Modbook is tested and solidly endorsed by those guys in Cupertino.

So everyone who ordered back in February (like me) might get something nice from Santa after all? I guess we’ll have to see if they live up to their estimates this time….

As far as the Modbook itself, Axiotron will be exhibiting in January’s MACWORLD CONFERENCE at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. It’s a great chance to try this amazing machine out for yourself. The conference and expo runs January 14-18, 2008.

In related news, the UNOFFICIAL APPLE WEBLOG has consolidated all the news bits regarding the much rumored Apple tablet which is purported to be announced sometime next year. (Even as early as Macworld) Some speculate that the so-called “iTablet” will be small, 12-14 inch computer that will share the same touch-screen technology now seen in the highly coveted iPhone and now, the iPod Touch, and married with a Wacom based, pen-abled digitizer…..

Of course… it’s all speculation at this point. We all know how good Steve Jobs is at distracting the curious….
