Obviously the key quote here:
But it will come in two editions, one with a webcam and one for educational use
Unfortunately, it looks like that's as far as that information goes, although a little trip down the rabbit hole of comments and we get this totally unreliable addition:
The educational version checks out. I got some insider info that said Apple recently started an Education division (without anyone really noticing) and poached a former honcho from Microsoft education to head it up.
My source also said that Apple employees have been told to be excited for something in September...
They're seriously looking into educational uses for their iPhone OS so it looks like the tablet is a-go.
Assuming that the actual product itself is real, I can completely see students roaming campuses with these tablets. The immediate use that comes to mind is to completely blow Kindle out of the water, but I'm sure Apple has something much more inventive in mind as always....
A fun little rumor, but don't be surprised if there's going to be a new demand in elearning for iTablet App Developers.
