Apple to Flash New Tablet in a Few Weeks – March Realease or Cruel Joke by Jobs?

by Jay Garrett on December 23, 2009

Ah, I spoil you don’t I?

First you get an iPhone rumour and now an Apple Tablet one :)

Silicon Ally Insider reports that whispers from a “plugged-in source in the mobile industry” has it that the Cupertino Crew will demo their spanky new tablet in January (that’s a matter of weeks!).

In preparation of this event Apple has asked selected iPhone devs to prepare high-res apps for the occasion.

Now, this could indeed point to a January flash of the new product which in turn will silence the rumour-mill that’s been churning out grains of unicorn sightings for the last few years, or….

The event will be an invite only, super-secret-squirrel, heavily guarded closed demo. This demo would be more to put any doubts to rest that the app developers may have regarding interoperability between the iPhone and the new tablet/pad/slate device.

SIA’s source says:

[Apple has] told select developers that as long as they build their apps to support full screen resolution — rather than a fixed 320×480 — their apps should run just fine

Word is that this device wont go on sale til later – March has been mentioned a few times already.

Funnily enough the same source also claims that the entire Apple tablet concept is a slick but cruel prank by Steve Jobs!

Now, THAT would be funny and if true could make Jobsy a top prankster par excellence!

Apple iTablet Gets More Details, a Launch Date and Perhaps a Realease Date

by Jay Garrett on September 30, 2009

Apple Mac iTabletThe interwebs remain ablaze with iProd/iTablet rumours and it doesn’t look like they’re gonna calm down anytime soon.

iLounge is fanning the flames using the same source that gave it an early heads-up on the new iPod Nano 5G.

It’s already fairly common knowledge that Apple has rehired the former architect of the hand-writing recognising Apple Newton and now there’s more!

Word is that the Apply one has developed not one, not two but three prototypes for the glorious flatbed.

It looks like Apple toyed with a 7 inch screen but chucked that out in favour of a 10.7 inch poke and prod friendly number which should appear on the retail version.

Chances are that the iProd with follow the much loved aesthetics of the iPhone 3GS – that means a glossy slab with a curved back.

It will sport a 3G networking option and that screen should have “720p or thereabouts” resolution.

The focus of the device will be media just like the iPhones and iPod touches, though it’s suggested that it will also serve as a replacement for books and magazines (i.e. an e-book reader).

The iTablet isn’t designed to compete directly with netbooks apparently.

So when will we get our hands on the Apple tablet? Not until May or June 2010 apparently but it’ll be announced at a big event on January 19.

That is if Steve Jobs gives it the green for go.

That naughty little tipster hints that Jobs is still assessing the product.
