Apple tablet to be unleashed at CES – has 7-inch display
According to businessinsider, Apple is preparing to show us all a new, larger mobile device sporting higher resolution than the iPhone and iPod Touch. This could be the Apple iTablet (or whatever it will be called), that we have been hearing from months.

The recent rumor says that the display size of the upcoming tablet is 7-inches, not 10-inches that we have been hearing so far.
It is pity that most of the netbook manufactures have left the 7-inch and 8.9-inch netbook market and Apple is going to unleash a device sporting 7-inch display.
