Just another day with just another rumor about Apple Tablet (It is getting too too too much attention). What’s the latest rumor from DigiTimes have for us?
- Foxconn the Taiwanese based electronics manufacturer is building Apple Tablet slated to be released in Q1 of 2010 (Why? As Foxconn was involved in manufacturing of iPhone and iPod before).
- About 300,000 to 400,000 units will be shipped in the initial phase (Why so less? Old Apple Formula- To create shortage in market that results in shooting up their sales in next phase).
- Apple Tablet will focus more on e-book functionality rather than on music (Why? Because last month Jobs ridiculed Amazon’s ebook reader Kindle in a interview to NYT. Believe me Jobs might be playing a double blind game here).
- It will have a 10.6 inch display (We already know it as iLounge spread this rumor not so long back).
I am bored with the rumors surfacing around the Apple Tablet. Every blog is coming up with their own piece of rumor. But still their is one common thing about these rumors. What? All these rumors are being confirmed by unconfirmed sources. We know lot about Apple Tablet yet we know nothing. Strange but true.
