Axiotron, Inc. and Other World Computing (OWC) announced that they will be unveiling the ModBook, the first ever Mac tablet computer solution, on January 9th, at the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco.
The
ModBook is, at its core, a laptop Macintosh that's been modified. It features Wacom "Penabled" hardware for stylus input and is compatible with Inkwell, the Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger" pen input technology that provides system-level handwriting and gesture recognition to Mac applications.
The ModBook will also feature optional Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities, built-in iSight camera and CD/DVD combo drive. OWC describes the chassis as "aircraft-grad magnesium alloy."
The main features of
the first and only Mac tablet computer solution are:
- Write and draw directly on screen!
- True pen & handwriting recognition
- Built in iSight Camera
- Integrated CD/DVD combo drive
- The ONLY Mac solution with an optional built-in Global Positioning System
- Aircraft grade magnesium alloy for all terrain use
Engineered in the U.S. by a renowned team of German and American designers, the ModBook's condensed form factor and integrated pen-based user experience makes it the ultimate solution for applications and situations where a keyboard only gets in the way.
