Report: 9.6-inch Apple tablet expected in February

Andrew Nusca | Sep 16, 2009

All has been quiet on the Apple tablet rumor front since the company introduced its new iPod lineup a week ago, but now a new report reveals components information for the expected device.

The Apple tablet will have a 9.6-inch screen, "finger-touch function" and built-in HSDPA, according to a report by the Taiwan Economic News on Tuesday.

HSDPA would indicate AT&T and T-Mobile potential, even though the tablet's been rumored in the past to appear on Verizon.

300,000 units per month are expected to be built, according to information from battery supplier Dynapro. Wintek, which builds touch panels for the iPhone, is still expected to supply them for the tablet.

Inside, a P.A. Semi processor chip and "long lasting" battery pack are to be found. The tablet is expected to sell between US$799 and US$999.
