Rumor: Apple Creating a Real Tablet

TechCrunch's Siegler sources the iPad unveiled this week was just an appetizer and Job's tablet dreams are far from being fulfilled. Ever since rumors circled about a tablet originally, it was seen by many(like me) to be a touch screen version of a Macbook. Like I have said before I was disappointed but there are rumors that the iPad was just a "introductory" tablet. The iPad was designed to help shift more people to Apple as well as establish what a larger touch device would be like.
Based upon various patent filing by Apple, there seems to be a very large shift to touch screen like the iPhone, iPad, Magic Mouse, and Macbook track pads. Obviously this is again just speculation but with huge rumors about competing Google and Microsoft Courier Tablets, Apple better somehow step it's game up again. I could definitely see Apple releasing one within the next year or two after working out all the kinks. There is also a huge possibility that Apple will be revealing some of it, much like they did Snow Leopard, at Apple's WWDC event in June. You can also expect rumors about touch screen iMacs to be circulating soon to start competing with HP Touch screens.
Nothing is for sure but I'm extremely excited to hear even the chance of the REAL Apple Tablet coming out or being mid-way in development.
