According to Shawn Wu from Kaufman Bros, the Apple Tablet release might be delayed from March, as it was reported by The Wall Street Journal, up to June due to minor battery life and durability issues. Although, Wu reassured that the unveiling of the device is still on schedule for next week.
In a note to investors, Shawn Wu wrote:
“This tablet product has been described to us as a hybrid between an iPhone/ipod touch and a mac but in terms of software and components, it appears closer to the former, meaning it is most likely ARM based. From our understanding, it is not intended to replace a Mac but be somewhat of a ’super’ iPod touch where video, gaming, Web browsing, e-books[,] and the ability to run multiple apps would be enhanced with the much larger screen.”
Wu went on to echo some of the rumors that we have previously heard, such as those that state the tablet is expected to retail around $1,000 and to have a screen size between 10 and 11 inches. If this delay rumor turns out to be true, the tablet would be following the same patter as the original iPhone released in 2007, which was announced/unveiled in January and released publicly six months afterward.
At this point, it’s only a matter of about a week for all the thousands of rumors and speculations about the Apple Tablet to be officially debunked. So be patient folks.
