Apple Tablet may be launched this Christmas or possibly as early as September and might cost $800.00 with Verizon as the carrier. I hope this will be another great rally for apple earnings. I will buy one of this for sure. The iphone started to be too little to stay all the day looking things. I am a great fan of apple product so started collecting all the information (more than 200 sites) about Apple Tablet(News, Videos, Pics, Pre reviews, Rumors etc.,). If you are interested take a look at the below link

To paraphrase Topolsky, Apple is is a company not necessarily know for building a product based on consumer requests. “What do the People want? Let’s give it to them!” I’m sure Jobs is uttering those words at this very moment.

What would prohibit Apple from simply installing wireless broadband chips to support both EV-DO (for the American market) and HSPA 2100MHz(for the European and Asian ones)? A total solution for global travelers and better performance for American users versus AT&T.

I mean, if RIM can do this on the new Blackberry Tour (a small handheld device) surely Apple could find the real estate for installing dual WWAN chips inside a much larger iTablet.

I stopped believing Apple rumors. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Now *that* is something that I completely overlooked! In my defense, it took me 28 hours on the clock to get from one coast to the other during a series of mishaps. I was writing this post on little sleep, no food and from somewhere I didn’t want to be at the time. ;) Regardless: a Gobi chipset would offer the flexibility of CDMA or GSM. Great point!

Could be an LTE device, but I don’t think Apple (or most companies for that matter) would launch a key new device class this year when the wireless service for it could only be used in a handful of places over a year from now.

Ding-ding-ding…winner. I think Verizon jumping on the LTE train puts an interesting spin on this rumor that moves it from wildly speculative to somewhat plausible.

“Besides, most places people would use a 9″ to 12″ pad have wi-fi”…Sorry we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. All can I think of is all of the places I couldn’t use this because there’s no WiFi.

Think I’ll just get a CrunchPad. Probably 12″, about $300 and no carrier/manufacturer extortion. Besides, most places people would use a 9″ to 12″ pad have wi-fi.
