Apple Tablet, G-Phone Rumors

Posted by Sam Churchill on December 23rd, 2009

Silicon Alley Insider says Apple could unveil a tablet next month. According to mobile blog Boy Genius report, Apple is “100%” likely to announce a 7-inch tablet in January.

The FT also suggests that the four times larger screen of an iPhone, it is the “iPod touch HD” envisioned a year ago.

The NY Times says 2010 is the year of the tablet.

Meanwhile, The Google phone (Nexus One) will be unlocked, have lots of embedded Google Apps (like Google Voice), and come with a 1 GHz processor. Or maybe not. Gizmodo briefly tried one out.

Here’s the latest rumor from Engadget:

• Android 2.1
  


• 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, 4GB microSD in-box expandable to 32GB
  


• 5 megapixel camera with mechanical AF and LED flash
  


• HSPA 900 / 1700 / 2100, 7.2Mbps down and 2Mbps up — in other words, T-Mobile’s AWS
  


• 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display
  


• 1 GHz Processor from Qualcomm (8250)
  

I’m cheap. I bought a G-1 on Craig’s list a year ago for $200 and use T-Mobile’s prepaid voice service. It works for me. If Nexus One would work on Clear’s unlimited data plan (with voice), well that would be something else. Maybe later, huh.
