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.
