The Apple tablet rumor mill is still going strong and personally I can’t wait for the device to be finally unveiled. That way we will be able to check out its official specs and features, start criticizing it, ask for more things to be included in the future tablet version and focus on iPhone 4G-related rumors. Because you know that’s how things are going to pan out, don’t you?

We showed you earlier today more “leaked” pictures of the tablet in action and now we hear that Verizon is definitely interested in what happens tomorrow. Furthermore it has been reported that while written content is definitely coming to the tablet, TV subscriptions might not be available as various TV networks are not particularly excited about the tablet.

According to some sources Verizon is pretty excited about Wednesday. Tomorrow is going to be a “big day” and the company is going to hold its own event at 1 PM EST which coincidentally is exactly when the Apple event in San Francisco is starting. Does this mean that the tablet is coming to Verizon? Or is Big Red excited to announce the CDMA iPhone tomorrow afternoon?

Although the tablet might be a pretty interesting device for carriers like AT&T and Verizon it doesn’t seem to be such an interesting gadget for TV networks. The New York Times says that TV subscriptions are not coming to the tablet as most TV networks fear that such iTunes plans will convince people to move away from regular TV watching and make them lose precious money as they might end up canceling their cable subscriptions.

On the other hand, the tablet should be a great device for enjoying eBooks, browsing the web and using all those apps that are currently available in the App Store. Gaming support should also be included so who’s to say that we absolutely need a TV subscription to go with that.

Are you going to buy an Apple tablet or are you rather pissed at Apple for the rumors related to its latest creation that have been circling the world wide web lately?
