No Tablet at September Apple Event?

August 13, 2009 0 Comments

Very reliable sources tell LoopInSight that there will be no tablet announced at the September Apple event. Very reliable sources familiar with the product have said speculation of the tablet being introduced during the September event are flat out wrong. The Apple tablet, they said, would not see the light of day until the first part of 2010. The event in September will be focused on music, which means we could see new iPods and perhaps some updates to iTunes. The tablet computer will not even be mentioned as part of the event, my sources said. Its been rumored recently that iTunes will integrate into a new social application from Apple. Also, the iPod touch is widely expected to see an update which includes the addition of a camera.

Gene Munster, senior research analyst with Piper Jaffray, says he doesn’t expect the tablet computer until early in the new year. Munster based his opinion on a conversation with an Asian component supplier who said that orders from Apple for the device will not be fulfilled until later this year.
