Apple Tablet rumour gains traction

Apple Tablet rumour gains traction

A meeting conducted at The New York Times last week seemed to further prove to many people that the Apple Tablet does or will exist, when Executive Editor Bill Keller hypothetically discussed platforms on which Times content would be delivered in the future. However, it's not clear if Keller is talking based on inside information, or if he's just as convinced as the rest of the media that the Tablet will be unveiled next year, Engadget points out.

"...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," Keller said at the off-the-record meeting, a video of which was posted on the Times internal server, and after that, by the Nieman Journalism Lab, Gawker, Engadget and others.

Engadget, which dubbed the Tablet "the most important product that never was," reported that it may have found a photo of the SIM card tray supposedly designed for the Tablet, which is larger than the iPhone's SIM tray.
