Apple Tablet rumour gets price point and release date

the Art of Micro Growing



We can now ad two more pieces of data to the body of ‘knowledge’ circulating in the blogosphere about a possible forthcoming Apple tablet.

Apple tablet

Here’s what is currently strongly suspected an upcoming Apple tablet device

  • Screen size: 9.7 inches
  • Chipset: Intel dual core or Samsung ARM11
  • OS: App-store-compatible version of OS X
  • Release date: October
  • Price: $500 – $800

The two later gems of wisdom have come to us courtesy of a China Times article which states that Apple is working on a large touchscreen device. Chinese supply companies are all quoting October as the release window.

It’s great to see the idea of an Apple tablet format machine becoming a reality but I’ll be very dissappointed if, as rumours seem to be indicating, the new device is just a large format iTouch that can only run the AppStore programs. For $800 I’d want the full flexibility of a tablet format Macbook.

Let us know your thoughts.
