Apple Tablet With 7-Inch Screen to Be Announced in January?

Citing a source who has been "amazingly accurate", Boy Genius Report issued a brief note today claiming that Apple's much-rumored tablet will be announced in January and will carry a 7-inch screen. Most rumors have pointed to a 10-inch screen for the tablet, and while the source does not rule out the possibility of such a model, they can only confirm the existence of the 7-inch model.

It has been widely reported recently that the size of the tablet is 10", but there was also talk about a 7" model. Our connect said there is 100% a 7" Apple tablet, to be announced in January, and whether this is in addition to a 10" model, they don't know.

Claims of the smaller screen size, which were sporadic over the past year, appear to be picking up steam in recent weeks, led by speculation that a severe shortage of the screens could only be the result of Apple snapping up supplies.

Bring it!

Add in content from magazines/newspapers, toss in deals from CBS/Disney/ABC for TV shows, and add in WiFi video chat (3G probably won't cut it) and I'll buy two!

I'm sure, without any proof, that they will release the tablet in two sizes. It's just Apple's style to offer 2 or 3 choices of each product.

Even if I'm right, that still leaves the question of whether one size will be available long before the other.

Hopefully this is the big Touch and the 10 will be the small Mac.

It would be really weird if they did that. Each running different applications, and yet with a similar UI (it would be even less like Apple to make them use different UI's).

There was an article from August that indicated just this - 7" as a big Touch, 10" as a small mac. I didn't just snag the URL to it when i was doing a search though.

I guess i'm not spending my kids money yet :D
