Again we find details emerging about Apple’s tablet in the form of a patent filed. A patent awarded this January titled “Display Housing for Computing Device” holds the clue as it describes a pure tablet device with radio communication.

Here’s what the patent says:

[0015]As a housing for a computer device, one embodiment of the invention includes: a front shell; a back shell coupled to said front shell to produce said housing, electrical components for the computer device being internal to said housing; and a foam stiffener provided internal to said housing to substantially fill unused space internal to said housing, thereby providing stiffness to said housing.

[0017]As a computer system, one embodiment of the invention includes: an antenna, said antenna being configured to transmit or receive RF signals; and a computer housing, said computer housing being configured to enclose said antenna such that said antenna is entirely contained internal to said computer housing and is operable while being internal to said computer housing without having to extend any portion of said antenna outside said computer housing.

We earlier saw Apple denying any new apple tablet or netbook. But could this patent materialize into a product after all?
