Drop whatever you were doing and grab a chair folks. We have stumbled on more news regarding Apple’s tablet. We don’t have an updated picture of the thing yet but we have another rumor. This time the tablet, dubbed the iPAD has been spotted in a Borders bookstore survey list. It’s either that or the “Apple iPAD (large screen reading device)” in the survey list is another Apple gadget we have no idea about.

So, the question is, does Borders know more stuff about Apple’s stuff than we do? Or are they just playing the field, hoping to get some attention from prospective buyers? Will Borders sell the tablet too? After all you’d probably be able to use it just as book reader if you choose to!

Despite having a great financial quarter and despite answering to Microsoft commercial campaign which shows everyone how a regular PC is just as good and way cheaper than a MacBook, Apple seems ready to do all that’s necessary in order to keep the customers interested in Apple laptops and desktops. Therefore the Cupertino-based company is willing to offer cheaper MacBooks and iMac lines in the near future while in the shadows the company will be working on a new tablet line meant to compete against those netbooks out there.

Apple still says no to an Apple netbook but all the signs point to a different directions. Rumors say that Apple and Verizon will be releasing an iPad this year while Quanta is delivering 10-inch displays to Apple. If it’s not an Apple netbook, what else could it be?

Verizon Wireless is talking with Apple about distributing a “media pad” device, possibly called “iPad”, that would allow users to view photos, listen to music, watch high-definition videos and make calls over a Wi-Fi connection. Cupertino, California based Apple’s new device is much like Amazon’s Kindle electronic reader, only smaller in size with a larger touch screen.

Earlier this month, Verizon said it was looking to enter the electronic-book market, perhaps focusing on areas Amazon’s Kindle overlooks, such as college textbooks. Verizon is also in talks to bring the iPhone to its approaching fourth-generation, or 4G, network.
