WSJ: Apple tablet shipping in March
While many have been fixated on when Apple will announce a new tablet product, The Wall Street Journal says it has found out when the device will actually be available to customers.
Sources have told the Journal that a 10- or 11-inch touch-screen tablet computer will begin shipping in March. Another source says that there are at least two different finishes for the device that Apple is either still deciding on or perhaps planning to charge different prices for each.
Though there's been a lot of speculation about the tablet, there are no confirmed details yet. Industry observers are anticipating a late January announcement (January 27, according to AllThingsD) of a slate-style computer that could be used as a touch-screen e-reader and video display with wireless access for around $1,000.
Here are a list of names @ baduku

That rant aside, I am curious to see what its full range of specs will be. I am also curious to see what kind of spin Apple will use, to sell this thing. Especially, if that $1000 price tag turns out to be true.
In essence, if it is an expanded e-book reader, with the internet & video viewing goodies, it fills a niche. If it is an expensive, less flexible, laptop, there is just no point.
You should be able to that sometime in March.
Second, referencing the story of Apple putting that App that made hollywood angry? Why are people so intent on paying so much for device covered under an echosystem so closed?
This is ridiculous.
What I want to know is if this thing is going to be out in a few months, and apple has to make millions of them, why are we guessing on the screen size? Hasn't someone gotten an order for 1+ milliion 10" screens? or 11" screens? Wouldn't that be hard to hide or keep quiet?
If we're still wondering about the screen size (which suggests they ahven't bee built/ordered/shipped/etc.) that makes me think this is a way from reality if even happening at all.
