iTablet Mockup
We had been on quite the roll – at least one iTablet rumour a week – that was until last Wednesday’s “it’s only rock and roll” event. With all the iPod Touch no camera talk, the iTablet sort of slid under the radar – that is until today.
The latest rumour suggests the tablet device will sport a 9.6 inch touchscreen, a long lasting battery pack, built in 3G HSDPA, a release date of February 2010 and be priced between $800 – $1000. The information is being reported by Steve Chuang of the Taiwan Economic Times. He cites a couple of Taiwanese suppliers of PC parts and components.
Outbidding its Taiwanese counterpart Simplo Technology Co., Ltd., DynaPack International Technology Corp. has been exclusively contracted to supply up to 300,000 units of long lasting battery packs a month for Apple`s newest tablet PCs. Bearing higher gross profits than conventional models, the long lasting battery packs are expected to serve as a profit booster for the firm in the future.
Chuang’s sources claim the suppliers will deliver the parts to Apple in December and that the tablet devices will be assebled and ready for a February launch.
