One analyst has come out with some new rumours about Apple's highly anticipated Tablet Mac which is rumoured to launch in March or April 2010 and feature a 10.1-inch LCD display.
Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner revealed in a note to investors that his checks with Apple's supply chain suggest that "the manufacturing cogs for the tablet are creaking into action and should begin to hit a mass market stride in February," with Apple looking to produce as many as "1M units per month."
Additionally Reiner stated that the tablet would use a 10.1-inch multi-touch display using LTPS LCD technology, the same technology used on the iPhone.
Reiner also wrote about how Apple has been approaching book publishers "with a very attractive proposal for distributing their content," adding that "Apple will split revenue 30/70 (Apple/publisher); give the same deal to all comers; and not request exclusivity. We believe the typical Kindle split is 50/50, rising to 30/70 if Kindle is given ebook exclusivity."
Reiner went onto predict that Apple could sell 1-1.5 million tablets per quarter at an average selling price of $1000.
