There now seems little doubt that Apple is buying a ton of (conventional) 10" touch screens. These could be for a netbook but a tablet seems more likely. Apple has introduced game-changing devices in the past, and so they might do the same with a tablet. |
Define changing the game... While they could do wonders in software it's not a game changer to release a tablet per se - there are plenty of tablets out there already.

Note the might, since the game-changing part probably isn't the screen but the software. I'm not convinced that either a larger iPod Touch or a shrunk Mac will end up being a game changer, but Apple could surprise me. If they do introduce a tablet, then they will expect to sell at least a million of them. This is game changing in itself for tablets, and since everyone follows Apple's trends there would then be a raft of copycats.

Well, all those UMPC devices are available already, one better than than the other so clearly, if someone will be a
follower it will be Apple, following the UMPC (tablet, netbook etc) market trends (even if gets on top of it), not the other way around, I think.
