Apple Tablet Ready by
Xmas, Served with Multimedia 'Cocktail,' Says
Report |
| |
 |
| |
Apple is racing to launch a tablet-sized device in
time for the Christmas shopping season, according to a report from
the
Financial Times (FT). Featuring a 10-inch touch screen display,
Apple's tablet is also said to launch alongside "Cocktail," a
project designed to increase sales of CD-length
music. |

What we know about the Apple
tablet |
| |
FT is scarce on details about Apple's upcoming
tablet device. The report describes device as a "full-featured,
tablet-sized computer" which will be out just in time for the
Christmas shopping season. The tablet's screen is reported to be up
to 10 inches in diagonal but it won't have phone capabilities like
the
iPhone. |
| |
The FT says the Apple tablet will have Wi-Fi,
allowing it to access to Apple's online stores. Besides Amazon
Kindle-like capabilities, the Apple tablet is reported to be great
for watching movies, according to an entertainment executive quoted
by the FT. No word on pricing, but previous speculation points to
an
$800 price point. |

|
What's in Apple's
"Cocktail" |
| |
The FT is also reporting that Apple is working on
a project code-named "Cocktail," a collaboration between the
Cupertino company and record labels, namely EMI, Sony Music, Warner
Music and Universal Music Group, which will bundle liner notes and
video clips with the music sold on the iTunes Music Store (iTMS).
The initiative is reportedly expected to be a reality as early as
September. |
| |
The FT says Cocktail is a new type of interactive
album, which will combine photos, lyrics sheets, video clips, and
liner notes, all gathered into an interactive booklet. This new
breed of album booklet will also play songs directly, without
having to go back to iTunes, the report
adds. |
