Apple's strong sales may lead to Apple Tablet release

Apple has successfully lead retail companies in sales for the month of October 2009. NDP group has reported that the Cupertino-based companies products where immensely popular with consumers throughout the month.

Apple's 21-inch iMac desktop computer was the number one selling desktop for the month and the 27-inch iMac took the third spot. The 13-inch MacBook Pro took the top-selling spot among notebooks, as well, with three other Apple notebook computers taking up three more spots in the top ten.

Many analysts point to the fact that Apple released multiple new models in October when asked for a reason behind the success. With the continued success of their mobile area, with the iPhone and the App Store, many wonder what is keeping them from launching a new product that will take advantage of the popularity.

Rumors continue to fly about Apple's elusive tablet computer. The App Store has topped100,000 apps (as of November 4, 2009). Apple is undoubtedly making millions of dollars on app sales (which come from many of the over two billion app downloads to date), so why not release a tablet computer that can use the App Store and apps within? Many analysts are predicting an Apple tablet release for 2010.

What do you think? Will Apple release their tablet soon? What do the sales for October mean for Apple and the industry? Let us know in the comments! And as always, stay tuned for more news on various internet technology.
