Gizmodo has surfaced with some speculation on Apple's plans for its new publishing tablet due some time in 2010. It suggests the company is reaching out to newspaper publishers to bring text to the tablet.
What isn't clear is how the tablet would differ from Amazon's Kindle or the other devices using electronic ink due shortly on the market. But the newspaper business is clearly interested in the development, because Apple has reshaped the music industry through iTunes and altered the culture of downloading in the process.
