A pretty authoritative rumor has it that Apple is finally building a Mac Tablet:

“Asus is helping Apple build a Tablet PC.”

We’re tempted to ignore all Apple rumours because there’s just so many of them, but this rings true because Asus is Apple’s contract manufacturer. It’s one of the companies responsible for building the iBooks, PowerBooks and MacBooks of this world, so when their guys tell us they’re building an Apple Tablet, we believe them. — Crave at CNET.co.uk

Just the possibility of that is putting me in a holding pattern — no way I’m buying a new MacBook if there’s a tablet coming out anytime soon. And if that tablet works as well as my iPod Touch, the tablet industry as a whole will be turned on its ear.

Yay!
