Nevertheless, indirect information circulated and observers believe they have identified the product: a kind of wholesale iPod Touch with touch screen 10 “(or 7″ according to latest rumors
The announcement this week by the Financial Times of leasing a site in San Francisco for an event January 26 which will guarantee the launching of an important product is timely to support the thesis of formalizing a tablet that date, with a market that would follow in March or April 2010.
High expectations of investors
