For over a month, we've held onto a document -- allegedly a Staples tablet guide -- that's been looking increasingly
wrong as the days fly by. Tablet release dates were too soon, and prices were far too high, which made us think it was either a forgery or sorely out of date. (Curious? See our copy after the break.) This week, however,
Droid-Life published a far more likely looking copy of the very same thing, which appears to be both quite recent
and fairly interesting. You'll see that
Samsung's 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab makes a cameo, as does
the 7-inch HP Opal we told you about early this year, and both the BlackBerry PlayBook and Dell Streak 7's appearances align with
recent rumors we've seen. The only outlier is an April release date for the Motorola Xoom WiFi, which
ads peg for March 27th . The rest is practically a who's who of upcoming tablets, so we'll spare you the full churn of the rumor mill. If you want to know what we know about the lot, simply refer to our coverage below.
Update: Oh, and that HTC tablet is listed as a 10-inch one -- could it be the
EVO View we've been waiting for? [Thanks, Morgan]
