Apple to Ship Tablet Device in March!

...
Looking to build on the momentum of its iPhone and iPod, Apple Inc. will unveil a new multimedia tablet device later this month, but isn't planning to ship the product until March, say people briefed by the company.

While the device's ship date hasn't been finalized and could still change, people briefed on the matter said the new product will come with a 10 to 11-inch touch screen—which would make it closer in size to Apple's line of MacBook laptops than its smart phone.
...
A key factor for the tablet's success will be price. Yair Reiner, an analyst for Oppenheimer & Co., said in a research note last month that the tablet would be priced at about $1,000, citing sources. One challenge: Apple's MacBook laptops start at $999. ...
Rumor is that Dell is not so far behind in the competition ...

One of our offices expects to receive a test hardware. Hopefully this will pan out. I would love to try it out for sure. They are talking seriously about sale starts sometimes in March 2010.

Good idea ... Sure, why not - does not hurt mailing and querying. I'll put NBF up (down) as reference.
