News coming from the desk that Apple’s new tablet might not actually arrive until 2nd half of 2010 because of a necessary design change and the selection of the LG manufactured 9.7” OLED display the cost is just too high. It seems that LG will be making changes to the manufacturing process, as well as adding new equipment to their OLED line, which will reduce the cost of the OLED display that Apple wants to use in their unconfirmed and yet-to-be announced tablet product. The current price of this type is around $500 if purchased in large quantities.
While Apple has been working on a tablet, the release of such a product is still some time off; and when the 10.6” LCD model does arrive, we expect that it will fetch between $800 to $1,000 each when it first hits the streets. While it is possible that the OLED 9.7” model might arrive before the end of 2010, we are starting to think that it is likely that this model will not arrive until early 2011.
The news gives everyone more time to speculate and to save up for it when it finally does hit the streets.
