Hasta La Gadget!

Wired.com’s good friend Brian Lam of Gizmodo tells the most riveting tale about the rumored Apple tablet yet, in which a “deep throat” of sorts spills the juicy details.

In summary:

• The tablet is described as a 10-inch version of the iPod Touch
• The product will come in two editions: One for webcam and the other for education use
• Pricing will be between $700 and $900
• It’s possible the screen will be used as a secondary touch pad for controlling Macs
• The project has been in development for four to six years
• A prototype was built around the end of 2008
• The product will likely launch this holiday season.

Yowza! An education device? That’s what I was pushing for in my opinion piece titled “How an Apple Tablet Could Pit iTunes Against Amazon.com.” We’re hoping what this source says is true!

Check out Lam’s post for a fun, intriguing read.
