Designer Isamu Sanada has come up with a very appealing tablet computer concept that combines the interactivity of the iPhone with the elegance of the MacBook Air.
The design incorporates a 13.3-inch widescreen LCD and would feature mobile connectivity features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS.
It would require no keyboard as everything could be accessed via touch or stylus, but with a full range of inputs, you could attach a keyboard for more comfortable typing when at home.
The concept just screams Apple and looks exactly as we’d expect from an official design. It is a realistic production candidate too, given existing technologies and a real-world, purchasable example in the form of Axiotron’s Modbook.

Thanks to the new Back to My Mac feature on Leopard-based macs, two suspects have been arrested after they made off with iPods, TVs, DVDs and two laptops from an apartment in New York.
According to the report in the New York Times, one of the laptops was owned by an Apple store employee, Kait Duplaga. From another Mac, she turned on the Back to My Mac function on her stolen Mac. From there she could access and control her stolen computer via this remote desktop type interface as well as see how it was being used. Duplaga remembered she had a camera installed (the webcam on macs is centrally positioned above the screen) and took a few snaps of the thief.
The photos were handed to police and almost all stolen property was recovered.
Daniel Jackson, the deputy commissioner of public safety in White Plains, N.Y. told the New York Times “It doesn’t get much better than their bringing us a picture of the guy actually using the stolen property.” “It certainly made our job easier” he said.
