I have ‘cut and pasted’ a comment I posted on VentureBeat.com (http://venturebeat.com/2010/01/05/apple-tablet-2/) relating to the Apple Tablet – Article: “Contest: Your predictions for Apple’s tablet“.

It will be about one of the Apps that the Tablet comes with, which makes the device integrate into everyday life – therefore: The Tablet + New App + Real World Element = Cool, I need it!
Let’s call the New App: TV+
Scenario:
The Tablet will be location aware and time sync’ed to reflect the TV channels available in your current region. The New App, TV+ ‘knows’ what’s playing via an electronic program guide – making your Tablet a Smart TV device.
The Tablet + TV+ combination provides the functionality to display dynamic content on the Tablet that is sync’ed with the show being broadcast on TV. Allowing simultaneous Broadcasting on one device and Narrowcasting on a different device: whereby TV+ unifies the experience.
I can now augment my TV watching experience with rich interactive media, extra content, and live feeds (twitter or other communications). The content can be time-released to make the viewing experience more dynamic, entertaining, and educational – plus show sponsors (advertisers) can be displayed within TV+ and locally specific – right down to the hardware store in your zip (post) code region.
Take this a step further: a Garden TV Show with a National broadcast can discuss a particular flower type in general, but ask viewers to refer to the Tablet (and TV+) for the exact species of the flower that will grow better in your zip (post) code region.
The list will go on; and I would use TV+ !
