New Apple Tablet Unofficial Pictures Emerge

Tweet

With one day to go until Apple reveals its tablet the web is filled with more rumors regarding the device. As you can see we have more “leaked” pictures of the tablet in action although, as always, you’ll have to take them with a grain of salt.

We already expect the tablet to be like a larger iPhone but this particular design seems to lack the iPhone’s home button. And we do expect it to have at least one button, don’t we?

Moving on to more rumors we’ll tell you that the tablet seems now be called the iTablet according to some sources. We’ve talked about the iSlate and the iPad before so we’re definitely confused. Naturally Apple will not confirm any of these names yet so we’ll find everything out tomorrow. What’s your guess on the tablet’s future name?

One of the most interesting tablet-related rumors is saying that the device won’t cost nowhere “near $1,000, as has been reported elsewhere.” This news comes from publishers that have had inside access to tablet details but, again, don’t get your hopes up just yet. That way you won’t be disappointed tomorrow when we reveal the true price of the tablet. And, if you ask me, $800 is still awfully close to $1,000 so without a clear number we can’t exactly talk about how affordable the new tablet will be.

When it comes to written content it looks like Apple is working on its own eBook distribution model and publishers will get more pricing control for their eBooks. Apple is comparing everything with Amazon’s model and Cupertino will definitely have to offer a better deal to publishers in order to convince them to bring their content to the tablet. Furthermore Apple compares moving from the Kindle to the tablet like switching from black and white television to color. It will be interesting to see how Amazon will respond to these claims once they become official.

Unfortunately all that content is going to be available later this summer which means that you’ll have to find other things to play with while you’re waiting for more eBooks to appear.

We will definitely be back with more rumors since it’s very likely to spot more unofficial stories as we get closer to Apples tablet-centered event. And some of them will surely be confirmed in just over 24 hours from now.
