Roundup Of Apple Tablet Rumors
Again, I’m not keen on posting rumors unless they come from legit sources or outlets. BGR has supposedly been tipped off from an Apple source on the Tablet. Here’s what he/she/it had to say.
• The tablet’s multi-touch gestures are “out of control.”
• It’s powered by an incredibly fast ARM CPU

Gruber Says Apple Tablet Has No Webcam, Orange Has Seen Nothing
I’ve been around long enough to know that every rumor – no matter where it comes from – cannot be trusted regarding any upcoming Apple products. The venerable John Gruber (who has a proven track record) says carriers aren’t privy to Apple products ahead of time and that he’s heard nothing about a webcam on the tablet.

Rumor: Head of France Telecom Confirms Apple Tablet
Until Apple PR begins sending around press invites to the purported January 27th (or is it 26th?) event at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, I’m inclined to keep my trap shut about the slate/iSlate/tablet/Yeti.
However, it appears that I’m unable to do so thanks to France Telecom exec Stéphane Richard who confirmed to …

What OS Will Apple’s Tablet Run? iTunes, Anyone?
So I’m in Seattle last week and I’m having a few drinks with an old co-worker from TechCrunch, Devin Coldewey, and we’re casually chit chatting about gadgets and tech. The conversation goes from 3D filmmaking since we’re talking about how cool Avatar is and then the subject of Apple’s tablet comes up. I steer the conversation …
What We’re Looking Forward To In 2010: Gadgets
In a little over a week I’ll be in Las Vegas for CES. It’s my hope – along with every other tech journo – that the annual trade show will serve as center stage for some groundbreaking announcement by a major (or minor) CE company. It’s doubtful, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I don’t expect Palm to make as big a splash as they did …
AT&T Admits Service Stinks In San Francisco and NYC
AT&T is well aware of their subpar level of service in Manhattan and San Francisco. That much is true. They even released an app earlier this week giving users the ability to “Mark the Spot” (iTunes Link) where service has basically crapped out. The problem with the app is that if you live in either city the chances of you being able …
