Apple Tablet?

The all rumoured Apple tablet to be coming out in late 2010?

The Apple tablet has be in the rumour for many years now. With the tablet pictures leaked from Microsoft earlier this year people have been wondering even more.

Now Digitims claims that the launch Apple was planning on in March may be postponed to the second half of 2010.

Why is this?
There are several reasons why this may be happening. One of them may be that they aren't ready to let it out and they need more time.

Apple is rumored to be working with Foxconn Electronics, Quanta Computer, and Pegatron Technology in the manufacturing of this. There is rumor that there will be two different models. One with a 10.6 inch TFT LCD and the other to have a 9.7 inch OLED screen.

Another reason for delay would be that with the cost of the OLED screen being so high it could bring the cost of that model up to nearly $2000. The 10.6 inch model could be in the $800 to $1000 cost range.

There is also talk that there may be a discount off the price with a 3G contract like there has been on the IPhone in the past.

My thoughts on this are different that I normally feel about Apple products. My first imprison when I saw this was the price. When ever I think of a netbook I think of something that is low in cost. This would be the total opposite if those prices are correct. My other feeling is that when I type on my IPod Touch I like the screen size and how I just have to use my thumbs. Then when I get to my computer I use my whole hand. I just think that that with an on screen keyboard that size it would feel odd to type on. Those are just my thoughts with just what has been rumored. I would love to see this all come true though.

These are just rumors and things can change. This may not be what happens at all or nothing may even happen and there may be no Apple Tablet.
