Stand Alone Predicts New Apple Form Factor

I didn’t notice this in my Press inbox before, but it just caught my eye. Brian Akaka of Stand Alone Inc., a software company which makes mobile apps for the iPhone and Palm webOS, has pre-empted Apple’s announcement with one of their own. You can read the entire press release after the jump, but suffice it to say that they are working on a larger version of their Crosswords application. Its a rather bold move, though I have a sickening feeling that it will be drowned out by the torrent of media from Apple tomorrow. That would be a shame, since its small developers like Stand Alone which have made the iPhone what it is.

Interestingly enough, the release refers to the Apple _______ as the iPad, so they’ve either settled on what they think it will be called or they’ve gotten advance developer units and have just incurred the wrath of Jobs and are simply waiting to be magically disemboweled by the will and might of the Impossible Steve. I believe the latter to be untrue, however, as Apple generally only gives a very small and elite number early access to their unannounced products, and while I think Stand Alone is a collection of cool folk, I don’t think they rate, much in the same way that I don’t rate.
