They don't know anything more than anyone else. Trust me, the last people Apple would notify about an unannounced device is a survey company.
You may well be correct.

But, while it is easy to make a mistake and refer to the iPod Touch as "iTouch," it take a little more effort to dedicate a separate line item to a device, and also to come up a name (iPAD.)

It is also possible, that Apple has partnered with Borders to distribute the device and provide content, and someone slipped and dropped the name.

What gives me a pause, is the reference to a "reader," which would contradict most other rumors about the tablet. Unless, they simply emphasize the fact that we'll be able to read e-books on it, among other things.

I guess we'll find out soon, one way or the other.
