Alright, this has to be an April Fools' Day joke. Layne just sent me a link to an article, dated tomorrow, that states that Apple will unveil a new tablet Mac, based on their 15" PowerBook, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on board. The display will rotate much like today's convertible Tablet PCs, and the screen will be touch sensitive.

A new version of AppleWorks - release 7 - is supposed to accompany the tablet. It should feature new tools that take advantage of the touch screen, and even some sort of Web authoring application to work with .Mac accounts. A touch-screen compatible update to the iLife suite is said to be in the works.

Yeah right! All that sounds too good to be true - and yet somehow disappointingly not revolutionary - on a good day, but with an April 1 publication date, who will believe it? Nice try, PC Pro.
