Today is a big day.

There's been a lot of hype leading up to today's Apple "latest creation" event in San Francisco and a lot of rumors about what's expected to come out of it.

We'll be liveblogging the Apple event on the site later today and we will make sure to give you all the details on the fabled iTablet/iSlate/iPad.

In the meantime, Techland has compiled a list of "hits and misses" from Apple so far. We'll have to wait and see which category Apple's tablet (or whatever it's called) falls into. For now, take a look at what we've deemed a success -- and what we haven't.

  1. It would have been nice if you included the G4 Cube as a hit. I still have mine and it's a great computer. I never experienced the cracks that some owners say they noticed on the case. I have only increased the memory and installed a Powerlogix processor upgrade in the years that I've had it. The fact that all of the required G4 technology was packed into a compact cube was a win and should have qualified it for your list. Thanks.

    Hit#2 i used that computer and it sux

    Hit#5 is a miss osx is so flawed

    Hit#7 i hated the marketing even though it was effective simply because it was lies.

    Hit#9 the app store is not a hit ppl only use it because they have no alternative, you need to suck steves dick to get an app in it. It is controlled way too much (google voice)

  3. I would say one of the big misses of Apple would be the early exclusiveness of it. They would not let any company produce software for it and they were way overpriced for their product. That is why window's based computer is way more popular. Apple limited themselves right from the start.
