Fact and fiction about the Apple tablet
Rumors have been swirling for weeks about a new Apple product that’s scheduled to be unveiled next week. The legions of Apple rumor-mongers suspect the company is about to launch a new tablet device, which Apple fans hope will have the kind of game-changing impact of the iPhone.
