It's been a few days since we carried an Apple tablet rumour from an analyst citing mysterious component-supplier sources, so...
AVI Securities' Matt Thornton claims that Apple's tablet device is definitely on the way.
"It's been in the supply chain for a while and entered full production this month," he tells CNET. "A couple of suppliers actually had weaker Decembers than they would have expected because production was pushed back a little bit."
Meanwhile, a research note from Thornton's firm claims that Apple may be ramping up production to ship 10 million units in 2010.
Thornton also thinks the tablet's key focus will be on e-books, e-magazines and e-newspapers, giving it clear differentiation from smartphones and netbooks.
