The Wall Street Journal reports the unveiling of the much talked about Apple tablet later this month. The Business Insider says that will all take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on January 27th.
Plans to ship the tablet are not planned until March this year though, according to WSJ. A January announcement and a March product release… could Apple be throwing out some headlines to compete with Google in the press? I mean, this announcement reeks the doings of a controlled leak and Google is working with HTC to produce a Chrome OS Tablet, after all. Then there was the recent Google Nexus One announcement and additional product releases for March…
Here are a few gathered bullet points for the Apple tablet:
- 10 to 11 inch screen
- 3G connection with support by Verizon
- although Apple is one of several groups playing with 3D multitouch, the tablet most likely won’t feature it
- possibly named iSlate
- a secret, exciting new feature is imminent
Do you have a favorite? What are you looking more forward to? Apple tablet? Google/HTC tablet?
