Apple Rumorama: Tablet in Feb '10, $800-$1000
Here it is, back to haunt us.
Rumors about Apple's tablet have been rather quiet as of late but that doesn't mean the tech world has forgotten all about it. Despite it being a no show at Apple's snooze-fest, er, iPod event last Wednesday, people are more than happy to look to the next event and hope it bears fruit.
Originally pegged to be something like a large iPod Touch (making it reasonable to think Apple would debut the device at its music event last week), all the speculation and reports got a refresh this morning thanks to a report in Taiwan Economic News.
TEN reports that Apple will launch the device next February and cites industry sources that claim shipments will be delivered to the Cupertino-based company in December. Further, TEN says that DynaPack has been exclusively contracted to supply up to 300,000 long lasting battery packs a month for the device, while Wintek is said to be supplying the displays.
Specs-wise you're looking at a 9.6-inch touchscreen, HSPDA, and a processor from Apple's own P.A SEMI. Price? Oh, somewhere between $800 to $1000.
with the rate of explosive ipod, itouch leaving scar on people faces and jumping 10 feet high. (for something so small).
Something this big could easy star a one megaton bomb change reaction..
it could blow away my house...
depends 9 inch square like pictured would be dumb, however 9 inch widescreen would be fine. Like a netbook tablet. Although with what little specs I see, looks like it wont do much. I want a atom prosessor on a tegra core and a 720 p 10 inch tablet. Enough for hd video, and office apps. wouldnt play to many fps on a tablet to care about that. bejeweled would work fine
I'm not sure their target market but at this price it will fail miserably!

No more carrying bombs around, just carry around a large apple product!
LOL!
Doesn't matter anyways. I was planning on buying one of these but not for $800-$900. If it was around $500 I might consider it but not going to pay full notebook price for a tablet powered by some in-house CPU designed by Apple.
PC notebooks are not comparable to Apple's supposed tablet - PC tablets have keyboards, and can, essentially, work as fully-fledged notebooks. This is just an oversized iPod touch.
How do you know? You've only seen a picture, and it could possibly look nothing like that. Wait until Apple actually announces it to pass judgement.
