Machines that go Bing!: Apple Tablet rumour gets price point and release date


Apple Tablet rumour gets price point and release date

Posted: 13 Jul 2009 01:46 PM PDT

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