The Apple tablet is real, and someone claims they've actually seen the thing. Well, so goes the latest rumor anyway. After months of speculation, innuendo and good ol' wishful thinking, someone finally found an anonymous source not willing to go on the record who claims to have first-hand knowledge of the storied Apple tablet. This morning's rumor comes from the anonymous "A. Veteran Analyst," who says they've actually held a prototype for Apple's next wonder device in their own hands, according to Barron's.

Apple Tablet Prototype is Real, Nov. Launch Expected, says Report

Mr. Analyst says Apple is going to have a final design ready in the next six weeks, and the device would then be announced in September for a November launch. The Apple tablet may also break your bank, costing you a whopping $699 to $799. But for those big bucks you'd get a device that would be able to, among other things, play high-definition video. While other features might be nice, it sounds like the Apple tablet's video capability is the feature to beat. The anonymous source says the device's video quality "is better than the average movie experience."

So the 10-inch Apple tablet is a better movie experience than staring at a giant screen with surround sound or watching a DVD at home? That must be some mythical device.

SOURCE

I searched, and only found a few one-paragraph articles on this, and only with a September release date. So hopefully this isn't a repost, as there's some new info I couldn't find in the other articles. But if it is, my bad, and let me know.

Now let the Apple flaming begin

EDIT:
Another article with some more info: Number 2

It doesn't seem that bad, and it could be a nice device, my only question is what's the hardware in it. And what kinda screen are they using?

Also, Price isn't that bad against any other tablet that can play 1080p video. But this is assuming it'll come with a low power dual core of some sorts, and a decent IGP.

I'm interested in the software they would include to make the tablet functions of it more accessible to people.

Do want.

I would definitely consider one of these for school if it were small enough.

I would only consider this if it had the drawing sensitivity of a Wacom.

Meh @ Tablets. I had a Tablet PC for a few years, nothing special just an overpriced under performing piece of hardware.

Prices have gone down, but I purchased my tablet ~4 years ago. At that time to get anything even slightly comparable to a non tablet laptop would cost a pretty penny.
