Nothing has been officially confirmed. If history is any indication, there will be delays, but the latest is that Apple will announce a tablet PC in September and release by November. There was a lot of talk at the last CES about tablet PCs. These devices have the potential to seriously disrupt the media and consumer electronics landscape. The convergence of microprocessor speeds, multi-touch screens, higher bandwidth and web 2.0 applications is changing the way we consume multi-media content.As we are approaching 20 million iPhone shipped, the Apple tablet PC could become the ideal companion device in the living room and beyond. I don't think this is going to be a PC/laptop replacement. Nobody in his/her right mind would want to do advanced Excel work on a multi-touch screen. On the other hand, nobody would want to boot up a PC or laptop to do a quick search on the internet or watch videos or pictures.
Apple is solidly controlling two ends of the network triangle.
