Apple to sit at the top tablet?
An Apple tablet imminent, if the rumours circulating are to be believed
Those Apple tablet rumours just won’t go away. I’m starting to think there’s truth in that old saying… there’s no smoke without an Apple tablet. Or something like that.
Anyway, the latest set of whispers doing the rounds on the interweb suggest that Steve Jobs and Co. are set to unveil an Apple tablet in time for Christmas, with some reports even claiming that it could be unveiled as soon as September!
Now, until we hear official confirmation, we always take rumours with a pinch of salt. But these ones just won’t go away. Apparently the Apple tablet will have a ten-inch touchscreen and support Wi-Fi (rumours conflict about whether or not it’ll have 3G). It’s also suggested that any tablet will sport a similar interface to the iPod Touch and not a Mac, and come with a custom-made ARM processor.
All sounds highly intriguing indeed. Should an Apple tablet get unveiled in the next few months it’d no doubt shoot to the top of the must-haves for Christmas. I’d certainly want to get my mitts on one.
Having said that, I’d rather Apple took its time over creating a tablet and made sure it was spot on. I find it unbelievably infuriating when an Apple product comes in, dazzles me with its glossy design, only for there to be a couple of niggles that Apple rectifies with an upgraded version six months down the line. Now you mention it, infuriating doesn’t even come close to describing my feelings.
Still, I’ll probably be the first in the queue at the Apple Store if an Apple tablet does come out. What do you think? Is Apple about to release an Apple tablet and if so, will you be getting one? Have your say below…

Apple Tablet may be launched this Christmas or possibly as early as September. I hope this will be another great rally for apple earnings. I will buy one of this for sure. The iphone started to be too little to stay all the day looking things. I am a great fan of apple product so started collecting all the information (more than 200 sites) about Apple Tablet(News, Videos, Pics, Pre reviews, Rumors etc.,). If you are interested take a look at the below link http://markthispage.blogspot.com/2009/07/apple-tablet-large-iphone-or-ipod-touch.html

I can't see Apple adding to their lineup, a device that's bigger than the iPhone, and smaller than the MacBook Air.

i reckon it will be good, probably be launched in early 2010 though, since its very near christmas. i would want one if i was given it, but im not sure whether i would spend my money on one. it could be limited, and very like an iPhone in my opinion. still, an interesting prospect.
