Gizmodo reports that one of their source's (who are 100% reliable) have confirmed Apple are working on a 10 inch tablet. And a 13 inch.

Macbook update coming October? August 26th, 2009

On a rather surprising note, Appleinsider is reporting Apple are going to retain the Macbook brand rather than scrap it altogether. The Macbook, which was released in 2006 to make the transition to Intel processors, has proved to be one of the best selling macs of all time.
