How will you install software?

[jamesapp]

Just wondering, will the apple tablet use the app store like the iPhone to install software? Or will it be like a computer where you can install software from different sources? Any thoughts?

I will tell you tomorrow

I think it probably depends on whether it has runs on a cell network, because wasn't one of Apple's reasons for locking down the iPhone so much was to prevent apps from affecting the network?

I'm not sure, but it would make sense that it uses the same model as the iPhone; considering its rumoured that Apple have been testing iPhone apps running on the device.

So, I would guess: App Store.

It'll be the App store. Less pirating of software. Benefits both Apple and the developer.

My vote is either 3.5" floppies, or HD DVDs.

Seriously, you'll know in 24 hours' time, is it really that hard to wait?

 

[marksman]

5.25" floppies.

You'll buy a magazine, and it will have pages and pages of code that you have to enter, to achieve a working app.

My guess: just like the iPhone. But I'm not putting any money on that guess.

I'm 50% sure it will be identical to the iPhone OS, give or take 50% of course. Lol, I believe it will use the same App Store as the iPhone, or possibly have it's own section in the App Store for "Tablet ready" apps.

I really hope it'll run Mac OS X apps alongside iPhone apps.

When was this?

I really hope it'll run Mac OS X apps alongside iPhone apps.

Do you think Apple will recompile the Apps or will individual developers? If Apple took the responsibility this would be revolutionary!

When was this?

In the 80s. One of the magazines I had even included its own "compiler" that would check each line as you entered it, to reduce the amount of debugging required afterwards.

≈ how many lines of code were there? How long did they take to enter?
