Over the course of CES, TG Daily came upon a rather interesting rumor after talking to various vendors. As it goes, some companies were trying to get 10 inch screens to use with their products but were met with months and months of struggle thanks to Apple. Apparently, our favorite Cupertino company has pre-ordered so many 10 inch LCD and OLED screens that the Asian manufacturers aren’t able to supply other companies with what they need.

French site Mac4Ever has released a report claiming that the rumored January 27th event Apple will also see the announcement of the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta. This updated version of the software development kit (SDK) will supposedly also include tools for developing on Apple’s new tablet device, which is rumored to have a larger screen than the iPhone and iPod Touch.

According to people who were briefed on the rumored Apple event coming up later this month, Apple does plan to announce a tablet later this month. This device would come in a 10 to 11 inch form factor, and is apparently slated to be shipped in March. Furthermore, the sources revealed the device is currently being created in two different materials. Whether they will both be produced and marketed or if Apple is simply deciding on a final one remains to be seen.

Shortly after rumors surfaced of an Apple tablet in January, it has been discovered that Apple purchased the domain name iSlate.com in 2007. While it currently doesn’t point anywhere, this is presumably a domain Apple will be using to forward to a new product page for their tablet device that is rumored to be announced at a January 26th event.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “people familiar with the situation” have said that the 54-year-old Steve Jobs has been spending much of his time working with the new touch screen gadget device that Apple is cooking up. Furthermore, one person working on the product’s advertising and marketing strategy said that they are under intense scrutiny from Steve Jobs himself. While rumors of the “iPad” have been heating up recently, some stories have been published saying the rumors are simply rumors and the product doesn’t exist.

To be completely honest, I had no idea whether to believe all of the rumors about the Apple tablet. That is, until I saw this video. While rumors of an Apple tablet have appeared on the web numerous times as people feel Apple has to enter this market, there has always been just as much evidence in the other direction saying Apple won’t have a tablet. All that said, this video looks pretty legit, if you ask me. If it is a fake, a lot of time must have been put into it.

It seems as if almost every time there is an Apple announcement coming up, more rumors of a Mac tablet show up. This time around, TechCrunch is reporting that they have heard from OEMs and people who have held prototypes that a 10 inch Mac Tablet and/or large iPhone is on the way. According to them, the price point for this product will be anywhere from $500 to $1,000 and “the project is very real.”
