Apple’s going to release the iTablet… Which finish will you buy?

You’ve heard all the hype, but I’m not sure people have put together all the pieces. I think Apple’s got a whammy brewing. This is a visual accounting of the rumors that tgrblog.com (I’m linking to their new site at Tumblr) has graciously put together for your viewing pleasure.I believe the “Two finishes” mentioned are being offered are actually two different cases, and two different pricing points, offering two different types of tablets to provide support and competition in two different markets: iTablet – iTouch Style 10.1′ Display Multitouch OLED Screen P A Semi Chip 16GB Runs iPhoneOS iTunes & App Store Apple eReader Multitouch iWork (Downloadable from App Store) Front facing Camera Looks and Acts like an iTouch with new Tablet interaction UI, Gestures/Swipes, etc. 3G Network Connected, No monthly fees, available first at the Apple store then everywhere. WiFi & Bluetooth connectivity White or Black Plastic Finish.

Available from the Apple store, or an authorized Mobile retailer. Arrival: March-June I’m going to enjoy seeing something come out, even if this isn’t it. I wasn’t wrong about the iPhone, now let’s see what happens with this launch.
