Apple Tablet Device coming next year – Eye-catching?

When Apple Inc. release any product, the first thing talked about is the design of the product as it always is a step ahead of the similar product released by other brands. And the expectations with Apple have always been high, so Apple Inc. is now planning to launch the new product into the market very soon – The Apple Tablet Device which is nothing different from iPod Touch in looks, but still the size is considerably bigger and the design is totally sleek.

This is what AppleInsider says:

The 10-inch, 3G-enabled tablet, akin to a jumbo iPod touch, is the latest brainchild of chief executive Steve Jobs. That distinction, as insiders will tell you, carries its share of baggage. Under the critical eye of Jobs, contours must be precise, each pixel of the interface has to match a particular vision, and there can be no fault — no matter how slight — or it’s back to the drawing board.

As such, AppleInsider has observed silently as the project was reset at least a half-dozen times over the past 24 months. Each time, development was frozen and key aspects of the device rethought, retooled and repositioned. At times, those close to the Apple co-founder had their doubts that it would ever see the light of day, just like a smaller PDA device he canned a few years after returning to the company.

The rumors are that Steve Jobs’ roadmap has the tablet device to be released in the 1st quarter of 2010, so sooner or later in 2010 there would be a tablet device from Apple in the hands of Steve Jobs to show off! And the price is expected to be somewhere between the high-end iPhone and the most basic macbook, so it won’t be out of budget for many Apple fans.
I would surely run and buy it, after i saw the picture of the expected tablet device, shown by AppleInsider! Steve, when are you actually going to show a prototype and release it?
