New York Times Editor Accidentally Reveals Existence of Apple Tablet

CUPERTINO, Calif. — An editor for the New York Times may have spilled the beans about Apple's upcoming Tablet.

The tech giant has long denied rumors that it's working on a next-generation tablet computer, but the ruse may be over. Bill Keller, an editor for the New York Times, accidentally mentioned in a recent speech that his newspaper is working with Apple to deliver content to the device — even though it supposedly doesn't exist.

"I'm hoping we can get the newsroom more actively involved in the challenge of delivering our best journalism in the form of Times Reader, iPhone apps, WAP, or the impending Apple slate," Keller said, using another name for the Tablet.

The look and feel of the Tablet is still the stuff of speculation, but according to online reports, the device will cost anywhere from $600 to $1,500 and will run on the iPhone OS.

Various enterprising designers have imagined what the device might look like, with most hypotheses coalescing around the general look of a giant iPhone, complete with a huge matrix of apps to choose from on the Tablet's screen.

“It would be a color, flat-panel TV to the old-fashioned, black and white TV of the Kindle,” one publishing executive said. If that's the case, then the Apple Tablet would be able to simultaneously compete with other mobile phones, MP3 players and Amazon's Kindle.
