Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray, is digging up the ol’ Apple tablet rumour, only he says it won’t happen until next year, rather than this summer as previously speculated. The screen will supposedly be in the 9-10 inch range, and sold through Verizon for wireless data access. Apple has gone on record as saying they won’t be getting into the netbook game, but perhaps they can massage the device category into something a little more their style. Analyst commentary, as ever, needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but certainly not ignored. If various independent sources keep talking about an iTablet/iSlate/iWhatever, it’s a safe bet that Apple will launch it sooner or later. These rumours have been floating around for awhile now, but maybe if we keep talking about it, Apple will make one just to shut us up, already.
