January 4, 2010 By Dena Cassella

The Wall Street Journal says the Apple tablet will ship in March.

Good news Apple tablet awaiters—the highly anticipated multimedia tablet may be shipping in March of this year. Still no word from Apple at CES about its tablet device, but no surprise there. The Wall Street Journal reported today that Apple will officially launch the tablet device in late January—most likely the 27th at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco—and that the actual arrival date could be sometime in March.The WSJ also reported that the new device will come with a touchscreen sized about 10 inches to 11 inches and that Apple is working on two different finishes for the tablet.

The device is rumored to be like a larger iPhone which users can listen to music, play games, watch video or read electronic books. The tablet is predicted to sell for under $1000 and may come with a nationwide Wi-Fi subscription similar to Boingo.

Our hearts are pounding, our palms are sweating—how can you do this to us Apple? Why can’t you just unveil your top secret iSlate at CES like the rest of the tech world?

John Howell at 7:41pm 4th January 2010 Wait until they release it. The pictures above are not the actual design. There's been no announcement real yet. The devil is in the details! We'll just have to wait and see what Steve has in store for us...
chris at 6:48pm 4th January 2010 I agree, if this can't run snow leopard in full - with ilife, etc. - then whats the point?
James at 5:31pm 4th January 2010 So who would pay $1000 for this if they already have a cell phone and a laptop. I love the design, but have to question it's usefulness.
