A TV commercial being shot by Apple in a US diner has Apple followers convinced that the company is close to launching their new tablet reader device. tipped by SmartHouse and ChannelNews several months ago.
According to the Sierra Sun newspaper in California, Apple was caught shooting the commercial at “Jax on the Tracks” a local highway diner where people stop to grab a coffee and read a magazine or newspaper earlier this week.
Apple watchers are claiming that the setting would suggest a device that could be used for reading or browsing the Web or consuming other media in a mobile fashion. “It’s pretty clear the device in question is the rumoured tablet” said one blog.
SmartHouse and ChannelNews sources still claim that a device similar to what we outlined earlier this year will be launched in September 2009. This will allow Apple to capitalise on the peak buying period running into the Xmas New Year period.
The device which will be introduced in September will be available in stores from October 2009 say sources.
