Latest news: Apple tablet will have PA Semi chips

The Apple rumor mill kicked into high gear again Monday regarding the much discussed, yet still mythical Apple tablet. But a significant new piece of information emerged.
Tech blog Venture Beat is reporting that PA Semi, the chip company Apple bought last year whose specific function within Apple has thus far been unclear, will be designing the chips for an Apple tablet in house. Dean Takahashi wrote Monday, "PA Semi's team was split into two parts, one designing portable ARM-based processors for iPhones and iPods, and another designing a processor for the tablet device."
The PA Semi team has some renowned chip designers, and there have been recent Wall Street Journal reports that Steve Jobs has been personally overseeing the development of a tablet-like device, and that Apple also has a large chip design project in the works. Taken together, all three reports seem to make sense.
But the round of rumors regarding the supposed tablet from earlier in the day point to an October launch time frame for the device. There's no actual evidence for that. Apple did do a Mac notebook event in October last year, and it's conceivable it could do another one, bringing out a touch-screen tablet in time for the holidays.
There's no technical reason why 3G can't be added to a device like this. The main issue is the lack of truly affordable 3G data-only subscriptions. Since the iPhone and iPod touch have had wifi since the beginning, this rumored tablet would seemingly have wifi as well. Video chat might be an option, although as an application, more people would rather have a camera that's designed for still photography and video recording on a portable device.
The bottom line is, nobody knows when it will be released. It's like those paleontologists who say "this fossil is anywhere from 25 to 50 million years old." Yea, when you're talking ranges like that, anything is possible and it's hard to be wrong.
