Is Apple Developing a $700 Touch-Screen Tablet?
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Desktops-an...Tablet-634954/
Apple is expected to leverage its multi-touch patents and offer a 7- to 10-inch tablet device in the first half of 2010, according to analysts from research firm Piper Jaffrey. Pricing is expected to fill the gap between the Apple iPod Touch and the MacBook, at between $500 and $700. The analysts’ report dismissed any notion of an Apple netbook. ... “With a larger tablet device in Apple’s lineup, the company could begin selling digital books on its iTunes Store, for use on the tablet as an eBook reader,” according to the report. “In this way, Apple could respond to the tangential competition from Amazon’s Kindle and Kindle DX.” |

This is the first time I've seen a price quoted though. and if that price holds true. they hit the price point exactly right.
though I've been hearing earliest release date possible is by early-Mid 2010, |
