Investment bank Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster says there’s an 85 percent likelihood that Apple will unveil and ultra-portable MacBook at January’s Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, (He previously gave the long-rumored device a 75 percent likelihood.)
In a note to clients, Munster thinks the device will sport a “significantly smaller form factor” than any current Apple laptops. Meanwhile, the LoopRumors rumor site is predicting the device will be less a small laptop than an “entirely new device that will coexist with Apple’s current laptop offerings, and benefit from Multi-Touch 2.0.”
The iTablet, as they will refer to it, will be much more of a “Mac Communicator” than today’s iPhone or iPod touch, says LoopRumors.
