I cant see the real use of a 10 inch tablet.. perhaps to take notes on and for reading but notetaking-hardware is nothing you want to spend 600 $ or so on (my guesstimare what the cheapest price for a apple tablet would be) and reading, well we all know there are better alternative to a LCD screen to read on right

(the rumor about apple buying screens was about LCD screens).

However I can see that apple launches a tablet that would be their answer to the neetbooks. Small and light and because it is something different than the rest you can take a higher (more apple like) price for it. It would prob look better than the normal neetbook and have some nice touches to it but would prob be to hard to type on to be a good product. On the other hand, apple has managed to sell some questionble products before

I wouldnt be supprised to see a apple tablet soon but I dont think it will be a dedicated ebook reader.
