According to Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner, Apple is almost ready to give its Chinese manufacturing partners the green light needed to begin production of the Apple Tablet in February, then ship it in March. The rumored 10.1″ Multi-Touch capacitive tablet would be well stocked, and according to Reiner, it would sell 1.5 million units in the first quarter, at an average of $1000 a piece. We’ll see if this is real, in the meantime take this with a grain of salt. [Via BGR]
