Still just rumor, but you can be pretty much 100% sure that a tablet device is coming from Apple at some point. I disagree that the tablet market is saturated--it's just a small, under hyped niche--and most tablets are basically laptops with touch screens.

So I definitely see a market for a sexy, 10" or so Apple tablet device that can surf the net, watch movies, play music, do e-mail, access the kindle store (and/or other eBook stores), allow marking up of papers/books with a stylus and so forth.

So I have no doubt that one is coming. What's up in the air is the features and price.
