The latest news on this is that it will just be like and iPod Touch for the regular version or there will be a version with 3G which will be the same as the iPhone 3G

Although it maybe announced in January next year it is thought that it will be released for shipping until next May/June. 

The focus is on it been more like a Media pad than a Tablet PC and there was no mention of an operating system. 

If it works same as ipod/iPhone then it should be able to download apps so therefore you should be able to run Proloquo2go on it and use it as a larger Touchscreen communication aid.  

It didnt mention any USB or mini USB ports so I dont know about connectivity of other access methods such as switch or headmouse.

The new Apple tablet  - been dubbed 'MacTouch' - MAY be available as early as this September!

There are alot of rumours about this machine so it is hard to seperate which maybe true.  

 Taken from 'Mashable' website:

 "The Financial Times is adding credibility to the rumors, reporting that Apple is rushing to debut the device in time for the Christmas shopping season.

The article swings back and forth between the new device and a series of record label deals Apple could launch simultaneously, but here are the points specifically related to the tablet:

Screen size: “may be up to 10 inches diagonally”, touch sensitive (of course)

Phone capability? Unlikely – it’s more like a large iPod Touch than an iPhone.

Wireless connectivity: Same as the iPod Touch, with the ability to download media through iTunes.

Kindle Rival? May provide the ability to read books, creating a rival to Amazon’s Kindle.

Launch date: By Christmas, possibly as early as September."
