Apple will soon launch a very interesting tablet computer to the public early next year. It looks like the tablet will be first shipped to Australia and then all around the world. Apple is already in negotiations with different media companies about including their content on the future tablet. It looks like the new device will be larger than the iPhone but small enough to fit in a handbag. However, if you plan on taking it in your pocket, it will not be possible. Apple sent specifications to media companies in Australia in hopes of contracts. After asking around, it looks like nobody is willing to speak about the device on the record.

However, Bill Keller, and executive editor for the New York Times slipped a comment about Apple’s future tablet. “We need to figure out the right journalistic product to deliver to mobile platforms and devices. I’m hoping we can get the newsroom more actively involved in the challenge of delivering our best journalism in the form of Times Reader, iPhone apps, WAP, or the impending Apple slate, or whatever comes after that,”” he said.

For now, we can just wait for this groundbreaking device from Apple. Curiosity killed the cat, you know!
