DigiTimes is citing sources who say that the Apple tablet—which has long been rumored for an early 2010 release—will actually launch closer to the end of 2010. The delay is allegedly because Apple has decided to make a high-end, 9.7-inch, OLED-display-equipped version of the device that will retail for a whopping $2,000.

The OLED version wouldn't replace the 10.6-inch LCD model, which would still cost somewhere between $800 and $1,000. DigiTimes' sources weren't named and this is only one of many Apple tablet rumors so don't jump to any conclusions.

In related news, magazine publisher Condé Nast (best known in the tech community for Wired magazine) has officially announced that it will support the Apple tablet by delivering its content to the device.
