Apple handheld?
Apple has filed for a European design trademark which may provide a glimpse of the company's long-awaited tablet computer, reports The Register. The filing, made in May this year but only published this week, covers a "" and contains sketches of what look like an iBook screen minus the body of the computer. The filing lists Apple CEO Steve Jobs and the company's industrial design chief, Jonathan Ive. Hints that Apple might be working on such a product emerged in 2003 when a source close to Taiwanese contract manufacturer Quanta claimed that the company had been hired by Apple to build what was dubbed a "wireless display."
