iPad to be Followed by the iBoard and iMat

Now that the iPad is here we have to wonder what Apple will launch next. The company seems interested in putting to good use that iPhone OS mobile platform so we might be in for some hot new products in the near future.

This year alone Apple will launch the Wi-Fi iPad versions in March and the 3G iPad models in April. Soon after, in June or July the company will launch the next-gen iPhone, the iPhone 4G but we want more.
Sources close to Cupertino have revealed two Apple projects that are currently being secretly developed. The iBoard and the iMat are based both on the iPad and will further explore the tablet world.
Just like the iPad is an iPhone on steroids the iBoard will be an iPad on steroids too. It will have all the functionalities of the iPad and the iPhone but it will come with a far more impressive touchscreen display. We expect the iBoard to sport at least a 17-inch display and run a next-generation iPhone OS version. Developers have plenty of time to conceive special apps for it as the iBoard is coming only in 2012 or later.
However Cupertino won’t stop there! No matter how generous the screens of the iPad and iBoard really are, they can’t suit all needs. That’s why Apple has come up with the iMat, an iBoard on steroids that looks like a huge iMat, but it’s a lot cooler. Using the iMat, an indoor only tablet, you’ll be able to kiss your home’s desktop and big screen TV goodbye. The iMat will offer you a phenomenal experience but each unit will come bundled with a 2-year lease of an apartment big enough to fit the huge iMat.
Neither the iBoard nor the iMat, scheduled for 2014 will have Flash support but by then HTML5 should be able to replace all our Flash needs. Multitasking will not be supported either since it will be simply to tiring to try to use more than one app at once on the iBoard or the iMat.
Last but not least I hope you do recognize a joke when you see one. The iBoard and iMat are not Apple projects and hopefully they will never be. They are simply the fruit of a wild imagination which we definitely appreciate here on TFTS
