MacDailyNews Take: According to AT&T, online sales were temporarily halted inthe New York City area due to fraud concerns, not in order to “slow sales down because its network couldn’t handle it.” That lattr theory was a blogger’s rather specious concoction.
White continues, “So what happens when Apple releases the next, best thing? …If an Apple tablet is announced in January and released shortly thereafter, are the wireless networks the device will run on be overwhelmed?”

@Tony
This is all you missed
“If an Apple tablet really is the device to end all devices (don’t put this past Apple’s marketing geniuses),”
I believe this device will be available to everyone and will not have telecommunications, unless of course you want to tether it to your existing phone and service.
As for its impact on wireless networks, overblown is the operative word here, not overwhelmed. If tethering is possible, it will have an incremental impact as sales increase but otherwise I see a device like this cannibalizing laptop and netbook sales.
Verizon is my guess. They have a map for it.
@g4gublie would u teather A NETBOOK to a laptop? That’s what apple is probably gonna dominate and xceede where netbooks failed ofcourse it wouldn’t be a book it would b a tablet.
There will be a DVB-T receiver in the tablet and broadcasting stations will broadcast most information. The tablet will only filter the info to show what the user wants to see.
