New Rumors Concerning Apple’s Touchscreen Tablet Arise [Apple iPad Tablet Looks Like a Large iPhone]

The battle for the world’s most amazing touchscreen tablet is still on. After last week’s Microsoft Courier, a new rumor concerning Apple’s upcoming tablet has just hit the wires and this time with a bunch of interesting features. Codenamed the iPad, the new device should be available in three sizes, ranging from a 7-inch model to a 10-inch capacitive touchscreen display capable of rendering 720p video quality.

Other than its style factor, software wise the new Apple tablet runs on the iPhone OS.

Given its large screens, the light communication device not only offers an amazing media and Internet experience, it’s also been designed to tackle the ebook and e-reader niche — which sounds neat, knowing that it won’t compete with netbooks directly.

More to it, one version of the tablet will have built-in 3G, while the other one will only be content with Wi-Fi connectivity.

Meant to expand the iPhone and iPod touch media concept, the Apple iPad is apparently expecting Steve Jobs’ approval to make it to the production lines. If that materializes, the Apple tablet could be officially introduced on or before January 19, 2010, and shipping from May or June.
