Apple Tablet May Not Hit Stores Until 2010

CUPERTINO, Calif. — It looks like Apple fans will have to wait a little longer for their tablet.

According to multiple reports, Apple has bumped the release date for the upcoming Apple Tablet until at least 2010. This news comes soon after word of a September release date for the next-gen, still sight-unseen device, which will reportedly cost anywhere from $600 to $1,500.

Rumors of a tablet from Steve Jobs' land of innovation have been swirling for weeks, bolstered by some high-profile reports. Some tech pundits doubted the existence of the project, mainly because Microsoft has been pushing a tablet-ready version of its Windows operating system for years.

But Apple is known for doing things differently, and supposedly their tablet would simply be the iPhone or iPod Touch on a larger scale.

“It would be a color, flat-panel TV to the old-fashioned, black and white TV of the Kindle,” one publishing executive said. If that's the case, then the Apple Tablet would be able to simultaneously compete with other mobile phones, MP3 players and Amazon's Kindle.

Unconfirmed online reports indicate that Apple is brokering an exclusive Internet and potential phone service deal with Verizon much in the same way Apple signed AT&T to be its exclusive provider for the iPhone.
