No Apple Tablet Introduction at September Keynote Event?

The Loop reports that "very reliable sources" are claiming that Apple's much-anticipated tablet computer will not be introduced at Apple's keynote event reportedly scheduled for the week of September 7th. While some reports had claimed that the tablet could see an introduction as early as September alongside music-themed announcements, The Loop's sources agree with other reports pointing to an early 2010 launch for the new device.

Very reliable sources familiar with the product have said speculation of the tablet being introduced during the September event are flat out wrong. The Apple tablet, they said, would not see the light of day until the first part of 2010.

The event in September will be focused on music, which means we could see new iPods and perhaps some updates to iTunes. The tablet computer will not even be mentioned as part of the event, my sources said.

Stupid. If it comes in 2010, they'll be missing the holiday season.

Interesting move. But nothing is official yet.

I think that Apple still should focus on iPods and iTunes in September. What about October for Macs? Could happen then.

Seeing as September would be the iPod event, I can't see why anyone would have thought "MacTablet"...

If it is not ready, it is not ready. And at the price point of this device, it doesn't really scream "Gift" like an iPod does.

I would rather have it as bug free as possible rather than rushing it out to be available for the holidays. That being said, I can't imagine buying one, unless it is vastly different then it is rumored to be.

September is always about new iPods and a new version of iTunes. I honestly don't think we will see a tablet before January. Which really sucks because I know it would make for a wonderful Christmas present for me. . . :D

September is a music only event. Just like last year. October was for notebooks and September music only.

Its best to leave the tablet cooking a bit more if we want something good.

Makes sense...

1. Have folks buy your stuff during the holidays
2. Have folks buy your new stuff after the holidays
3. Have two good quaters...

Genius... Apple style.
