The WSJ is reporting that the rumoured Apple Tablet device will ship in March after an announcement late January probably the 27th or the 28th, according to various sources. The Wall Street Journal writes:

First it was, then it wasn’t, then it was again, but now it’s official. Support for the tiny but mighty Intel Atom processor has been dropped in the latest release of Apple’s popular OSX operating system.

According to a report in Barron’s, a financial investment news site, an individual only described as a “veteran analyst” has actually had Apple’s highly speculated new netbook/tablet/net-tablet – or whatever you want to call it. Barron’s has quite a reputation to uphold, so we’re paying attention and lending some credibility to this news. According to Barron’s the new device is scheduled for a September launch at the $699-$799USD pricepoint. Likely to translate to 500-700 pounds sterling when it hits UK shores.

So, that’s interesting and it may provide a clue into Apple’s next move in the ultra-portable/netbook/tablet market. It’s quite possible in my mind, that Apple’s breakthrough – and they always have some kind of breakthrough feature- will be a built in, always available internet connection. Just wondering who they might partner with in the UK to provide LTE type service?
