Apple Tablet PC Release Set for April 2010 Says Report Apple Tablet Release Date Rumours Ramp Up

What with both Alex and Chris having offered you individual heads up
concerning Apple s rumoured up and coming Tablet PC (See: What You Don t
Know About Apple s Tablet 10.7-in Screen, iPhone OS in the Background,
3G Connectivity; Apple Tablet to Arrive January 19, 2010 and New Rumors
Concerning Apple s Touchscreen Tablet Arise Apple iPad Tablet Looks
Like a Large iPhone ) another repost has surfaced indicating that the
Apple Tablet will indeed hit, though not in January, but rather April of
next year.
Admittedly the source of the report, Digitimes, as credited below, has
been wrong about a fair few things in the past but they ve also been
right and so whether their report rings true remains, at this juncture,
to be seen. That said, being that hype concerning the much reported and
speculated upon Apple Table is at fever pitch (something that shows no
signs of abating " but them this is a particularly exciting prospect)
we thought we d offer you want Digitimes are reporting.

According to them the 10.6 � (so that s now down by 0.1 � in screen size
from what we d heard previously " it ll end up a new Gen Touch at this
rate) is �expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2010, with
initial shipments from Foxconn being in the 300,000-400,000 range .

The report continues,ย �The sources indicated they believe the tablet
PC features will focus more on e-book functionality rather than music,
and that based on Apple's marketing strategy, long battery life, quick
Internet connectivity and an easy-to-use user interface will be key
features of the device.

Okay, so there s not a great deal to go on here, but that doesn t make
it any less interesting and, further to the above, its also noted that
HP are looking to get in on the action by releasing a device that would
compete directly with the presumed Apple Tablet sometime during Q2 2010.

If there s any more gossip, we ll bring it to you.
