Apple Tablet Rumors Again (Still?)

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the never-ending-story dept.

LSU_ADT_Geek writes "With a conventional netbook clearly out of the question, researchers for Piper Jaffray said Thursday there's mounting evidence to suggest Apple next year will introduce its own take on the market in the form of a tablet-based device that will sell for $700 or less."

    Agreed, calling this a rumour is even stretching it a bit. Paraphrasing the article:

    Apple bought a chip manufacturer. The iPhone is too small to surf the web and needs a real keyboard. All the cool kids have portables with 10" screens. Wouldn't it be cool if my Macbook had the iPhone's multi-touch input? My Apple shares are idling due to the global financial crisis; I better start some badass rumour to spur on the fanboys. It's Apple, they haven't introduced some magical product for a while now.

    Interestingly, Apple sells laptops, not classrooms.

    * Space - it had a lot of it. (Competitors had more, though)

    And no wireless. Lame.
