Bad news on the rumor front.
Brighthand is reporting on an article from
DVD Newsroom with information from a "confirmed" Apple insider.

A. Any truth to an Apple Tablet?
Q. Prototyped of course. Price is the issue, without cannibalizing the MacBook. The ideal price is $599. But it’d cost too much to make. Take an average guy visiting an Apple Store at his local mall. If he had to choose between a $1099 MacBook or tablet, the MacBook would win. A tablet is too niche at that price – only the Apple elite would buy. We’re becoming generalists and the Apple Store supports that strategy. Generalists with superior products.

Bummer. If that's real, then probably no Apple tablet in the near term.

Q. Before we talk about Blu-ray. One word: iPhone?
A. No. Of course, Apple is exploring wireless options, integrating cell and iPod technology. Don’t expect anything soon.

So no i-Phone soon either.
How disappointing!
