(9-Jan-10) Gadget pundits like to use biblical references when talking about Apple chief Steve Jobs, so when reports surfaced this week that the computing giant is preparing to release a new tablet device, talk of Moses coming down from Mount Sinai was inevitable.
Rumoured to have an iPhone-like touch screen and Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity to the Internet, Apple Inc.'s highly anticipated tablet computer will certainly be slimmer, lighter and more sophisticated than the ones Moses carried.
But in the high-tech world, Jobs is no less prophetic than the famous Israelite.
