There is a flurry of rumour and conjecture surrounding the up and coming Apple Tablet in true apple form. This time the rumours are that Apple are buying up all kinds of components in order to build their next jesus device. The Apple Tablet (iSlate, iPad, iTablet):

Apple Tablet?

Apple first cornered the market on components when it was aquiring flash memory for the iPod and iPhone before making millions of the devices to sell around the world. Now it seems that Apple have their eye OLED displays for its much talked about iTablet device. In the wholesale component industry these items have all but disappeared as they seem to have all been purchased by Apple with the forseeable production runs all pre-ordered by Apple too! I guess they have big plans for the new device (Lets hope its better than the new 27″ iMacs that are all faulty!).

OLED is the choice component this time as it requires no backlighting and also consumes less energy than traditional LCD type displays. Less energy is better for battery life and as such Apple currently?favour this technology for portable devices. This type of display is used in the Google NEXUS One and also the Microsoft Zune.

There are suggestions that Apple expect to sell around 2 million devices in the first year alone. So if your trying to source 10″ OLED screens.. Good luck!
