It's not a secret that Apple has been working on a Tablet for years (many of the iPhone's innovations have their origins in those attempts). So prototypes exist. The question is whether Apple is ready to release an actual product. Ask yourself this: If there is an Apple tablet do you really think Michael C. Spillner IP lawyer is in the "inner circle" that has knowledge of it? Or is it more likely that it makes no difference to Apple because smacking down these efforts makes it clear that Apple won't put up with leaks on any product.
