Apple to launch handheld computer and media player
APPLE, seeking to win a larger share of the market for handheld computers, plans to unveil a tablet PC this month.
Expected to go on sale in March, the tablet will help Apple capitalise on demand for devices that offer internet access and play movies and music. The product may also bring fresh competition for Amazon.com, maker of the Kindle book reader, as well as netbook makers such as Acer, ASUSTek Computer and Hewlett-Packard.
Analysts expect the tablet could be an oversized version of Apple's 9 centimetre iPod Touch media player or a scaled-down notebook computer. Apple expects to ship 10 million tablets in the first year at less than $US1000 each, former Google executive Lee Kai-fu wrote on his blog last week, citing a friend familiar with the project. Apple refused to comment.
