The rumor mill has been working for months on the topic of an "Apple netbook" or "Mac tablet" being announced by Apple. However, earlier rumors have failed to turn into an actual product announcement (see Apple announces a Mac tablet at MacWorld 2009?)

But, if such a product were to be announced this year, the event would likely be the World Wide Developer conference, the annual gathering for developers which has been used for Apple product announcements in the past. This year, the company is gearing up for WWDC '09 to kick off on June 8.

Prediction: This prediction contends that Apple will announce a netbook- or tablet-like device, characterized by at least two of the following characteristics:

* Larger screen than the current generation of iPod Touch and iPhone devices

* A physical keyboard

* Less CPU processing power and storage than new low-end Macbooks currently being sold in the Apple Store

In addition, the device will have a lower base price than the cheapest MacBooks currently being sold in the Apple Store, and will not be branded as an extension of the MacBook or iPod product lines. However, the device does not need to be called a "netbook" or "tablet" by Apple, as both terms are associated with portable PCs.

For the prediction to be favorably judged, Apple will have to make a formal announcement of the device and give enough basic product specs (including price) at WWDC in June.
