Since his return to Apple in late June, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is said to have been entirely focussed on the heavily rumoured Apple touchscreen tablet. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the CEO has been involved with the tablet since before his medical leave.
The report quotes sources saying that Jobs scrapped the tablet twice in the past years, once due to the poor battery life and a second time due to lack of internal storage.
WSJ suggests that Jobs' sudden scrutiny on the project has been "jarring" for some employees "who had grown accustomed to a level of freedom over strategy and products while the CEO was on leave".
Strangely the report also includes a quote from Jobs himself, certainly a rare score. The quote which comes from email simply reads; "much of your information is incorrect".
None of the sources quoted in the report were able to offers specifics on the tablet or when it is likely to be available.
