But since those rumours are so rampant and Apple has done nothing to kill them, one has to conclude that it does have a table device up its sleeve, all shiny and ready to be unveiled. January 26th is the runoured date.

True. The rumors raised their stock price, something they wouldn't want to put a stop to. -- Wes Groleau A bureaucrat is someone who cuts red tape lengthwise.

No. Because if the rumours turn out false, the AAPL price will thumble to much lower levels due to disapointment. It has fiduciary duty to prevent false hopes. What Apple has done is create buzz around its rumoured tablet. And while rumours of a tablet have been going on for some time, this time around, the level of detail/speculation is beyond the point of no return. TO me, the only big question is whether this will be a glorified iPhone, or a thin iMac.

I've seen a lot of people and organizations creating buzz about a rumored tablet, but Apple has not been among them, even a little. -- Tom "Tom" Harrington Independent Mac OS X developer since 2002 http://www.atomicbird.com/ |
