Apple tablet delayed until late 2010?

The latest rumour regarding Apple‘s tablet is that its projected launch date has been pushed back from early next year to the second half of 2010.

According to a DigiTimes report, it’s believed the cause of this delay is the decision to use an OLED screen on the higher end model.

It will boast a 9.7 inch OLED display made by LG, apparently, whereas the lesser specced tablet will use a 10.6 inch TFT LCD panel.

DigiTimes also quoted sources estimating that the OLED tablet could retail at as much as $2,000. Ouch.
