iTablet rumormongers still haven't learned
I thought that yesterday’s Apple Press Event might actually quell some of the rumor-hysteria that has plagued the MacWeb of late concerning the mythical Apple Tablet. But, today, I see that the silliness remains. Check this out:
Over at The Apple Blog, Charles Jade has penned a piece reporting on an interview between Steve Jobs and the New York Times. In it, he reports that David Pogue, the Times’s reporter, “asked Jobs if his dismissive attitude towards the devices [e-book readers] had changed since the appearance of the Kindle.” Then Jade wrote this:
Jobs noted that digital books aren’t big sellers, then tossed the tablet fanatics some red meat, stating that “I think people just probably aren’t willing to pay for a dedicated device.”
If that wasn’t an oblique confirmation of the Apple iTablet, this response regarding future products being delayed because of Jobs’ absence is likely as close as we will get before the mythical device is unveiled.
