Google China’s former head has posted what appears to be insider details about the (possibly) upcoming Apple tablet device. According to Gadget Mix, Kaifu Lee blogs that “an informed friend” told him the Apple tablet looks like a larger scale iPhone with “an awesome UI packed in a beautiful 10.1-inch screen.”Gadget Mix’s Tommy Lawson writes that Kaifu Lee’s Chinese-language post (Google Translate version) suggests that the tablet will provide eBook functionality, a virtual keyboard, and a built-in webcam, with 10 million units to be produced in the first year of distribution. He adds that Lee’s ongoing relationship with Taiwan’s Foxconn Technology Group lends weight to his reliability as a source on the subject.
Although this development adds no new features into the tablet rumor mill, it’s comforting to know that the possibly mythical tablet is getting more and more plausible by the day.
