Apple Tablet on the Way?

AppleInsider has discovered a revision of a patent applied for by Apple on a multi-touch tablet. The rumors of an Apple tablet seem to start looking more like a possibility. According to the diagrams, Apple has plans for multi-touch much like the iPhone and iPod Touch, an on-screen keyboard (again, stolen from iPhone), and a virtual scroll wheel much like the one seen on the iPods (other than the Touch). Apple has been down this road before, but it seems like they’re about to make a big splash into the tablet computing market. It only makes sense that this happens given the success of the iPhone and then the introduction of multi-touch on the MacBook Air and MacBook Pros earlier this year.

The diagrams can be seen at AppleInsider’s site.
