We first heard rumors of an Apple tablet PC back in September. Now, that rumor has apparently been confirmed by Asus, Apple’s contract manufacturer. Crave reports that Asus will be manufacturing a tablet PC based on the same multi-touch technology of the iPhone/iTouch, as previously reported. Asus already manufactures iBooks, PowerBooks and MacBooks, so if Apple is working on a tablet PC, they'd be likely to know about it.
Apple’s first try at this market, the Newton, fizzled out unceremoniously in the late 1990s. But Apple carries much more cache now than it did then, so if true, their tablet PC will have a much better chance at capturing some of the market.
