Blah, blah, blah. Apple tablet to come from here. Apple tablet going there. Apple tablet coming soon on the backs of unicorns. All the rumors are played out, but yet here’s another one, stating that sure ’nuff, the fabled Apple tablet is coming in the first quarter of 2010. We here go again.
DigiTimes is reporting that Foxconn (insert inappropriate joke) is the manufacturer of the 10.6-inch slate and the initial shipment will be in the 300,000 to 400,000 range. The report also suggests that Apple is taking the tablet in a different, but logical, direction.
The sources indicated they believe the tablet PC features will focus more on e-book functionality rather than music, and that based on Apple’s marketing strategy, long battery life, quick Internet connectivity and an easy-to-use user interface will be key features of the device.
So is Digitimes to be believed? Is the Apple tablet really coming out sometime early next year? Hell if I know.
Matt,
I like the slate name better than a tablet.
Apple Slate has a nice ring to it, and will set it apart from the rest of the tablet world.
Hopefully there will be a Crunchpad in my hands before then.
Hopefully before Halloween, as long as I’m making requests! :)
“blah, blah, blah”?
I think what I;m hearing from you is “waah, waaah, waaaah!”
this is interesting that these all are just rumors
will apple release his tablet pc
If it is a color e-book with e-mail, web browser functionalities and WiFi and bluetooth capabilities, it would be my day. 3G would be a bonus.
Choice of sizes would be good:
10″ and 7″ (for higher mobility).
