This overlaps with a few predictions<\/a> on the topic<\/a> naming 10″ as the proposed size of the device, and adds yet another example where rumor has risen above the tech\/Apple blogosphere to more general news sources.<\/p>\n All eyes on the January 27th event<\/a>.<\/p>\n (Thanks to John H. for the tip.)<\/p>\n TUAW<\/a>WSJ: Apple tablet device to be 10 inches, “shipping in March.”<\/a> originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)<\/a> on Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:23:00 EST.

Things are beginning to firm up on the specs of the rumored tablet device. According to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>, who interviewed people who were apparently briefed today on the subject by Apple, “Apple plans to unveil a new multimedia tablet device later this month, but doesn’t plan on shipping the product until March. While the shipping time hasn’t been finalized and could change, people briefed on the matter said the new tablet device will come with a 10- to 11-inch touch screen.” Apple is apparently also working on two different material finishes for the device. Unknown is whether or not there will be two versions or if Apple is selecting one finish over another for the final device. <\/p>\n<\/h6>\n
