- The China Times is reporting that the Apple tablet is dropping in October for around $800. Besides a patent registration and Wozniak’s Axiotron Tablet, there has been no other official news to sway us into believing the computer is actually real. Here is a translation of the article today:
Taiwan’s high-tech supply chain companies said Apple will debut its first netbook in October; Apple will pose itself to tackle the Christmas shopping season. Three corporations – Foxconn, Wintek, Dynapack have received direct orders from Apple.
- Wintek is mentioned in the story, a company previously said to have supplied a bunch of touchscreen panels to Apple for use in a tablet (which was false). Assuming this is true, it’s still just a hardware rumor and gives us no details on the OS, which could be the most compelling part.
- As far as I’m concerned, the biggest issue will be if it’s going to have an accelerometer so I can play my iPhone games on a full screen. Score.
