Appleโ€ s Tablet Confirmed in Australia iPhone 4th Generation SIM Card Tray Ready for the Tablet?

Although we d like to see Apple s tablet emerge by the end of the year
that will certainly not happen. Phil Shiller, Apple s senior vice
president has confirmed that the company will not introduce any new
product this year. The refreshed Macs we ve seen last week are supposed
to be the last new products to be launched by Apple in 2009

But that doesn t mean that we won t have more and more Apple tablet
rumors. After we ve seen the tablet confirmed by the New York Times, now
we hear that Australian media companies are talking to Apple about the
upcoming tablet. The Sydney Morning Herald confirmed the fact that
various Australian media companies have received the specs of Apple s
new toy, but, as you can expect, none of them has been willing to reveal
any details about it.

As before we heard that the tablet is �tipped to be a larger version of
the iPhone. � The tablet will act both as an eReader but also as a
media-centric device and we re hoping to see it in action as soon as
January 2010.

We re not done with rumors and suppositions regarding the tablet. In
fact, we have spotted the next iPhone 4 generation SIM card tray. What
does it have to do with the tablet you ask? The new SIM tray is larger
than the usual iPhone tray and could very well be used in a larger GSM
device like the tablet. Furthermore the new tray will be available from
Foxconn which happens to be the rumored manufacturer of the Apple
tablet. Talk about coincidences!
If the SIM card tray is not meant to be used by the tablet then the
rumor is still hot. The tray is the second rumor about the iPhone 4th
generation to leak out. The previous rumor implied that Apple will
launch an LTE iPhone next year from Verizon.

We have ten months to go until Apple launches a new iPhone version so it
s a little too early for iPhone rumors. But the tablet should be
launched in about two months so if you happen to stumble upon hot Apple
tablet news make sure you drop us a line too.
