It has been said, that Apple is developing a new line of products with a 9.7-inch display. On January 12, industry insiders said, “The maker of the iconic iPhone had been working with its domestic and international partners to put the final touches on its new line of products, slated to be unveiled in March.”
A high-level official involved in the project said, "Apple is coming up with its new product, with a 9.7-inch display and the launch date will be somewhere in March." Besides the fact that Apple adopted a 9.7-inch display, not much has been publicly revealed about whether the new product is a laptop or a tablet PC.
However, factoring in the display size of the new product and related foreign new reports, people assume that Apple's new product would be a table PC, named "iSlate". In addition, there has been a lot of buzz that Apple's new product would come out with LG Display's LCD and Samsung SDI's battery. The speculation has been stoked by the fact that the two Korean companies had already contributed to the production of Apple's iPod and MacBook.
