MacRumors is reporting on evidence from several sources suggesting that Apple may be in the process of ordering components for their much rumored mythical tablet that may be named “iSlate.”
First up, the Taiwanese Economic Daily paper is claiming that Cheng Uei Precision Industry has received an order for connectors for this mythical new device. This report also claims that Apple is planning to ship this device sometime in Q3 of 2010.
Digitimes is reporting that Innolux, a subsidiary of Foxconn that makes screen panels, will be supply Apple the touch-enabled screens needed for the device. In case you were wondering, it appears the device will have a 10-inch screen, according to this report. That number falls in line with several other reports we’ve heard over the months.
As things stand at the moment, this device Apple has said nothing about, will have at least a 10-inch multi-touch screen possibly with tactile feedback. It should cost more than an iPhone but less than a MacBook. It may or may not be subsidized with a 3G data network plan, with the possibility of an iTunes subscription plan. It is expected this thing will be announced late next month at an Apple special event, presumably under the name “iSlate.”
Exciting.
