Jobs Finally "Happy" With Unannounced Apple Tablet

All the whispers of an Apple tablet PC seem to be culminating in a flurry of rumors suggesting we may see one as soon as next month. Sources inside Apple are saying that Jobs is finally "happy" with the device after being involved in every detail of bringing it into the light of day. As a side result of these rumors, it seems that Apple stockholders are also getting a bit of Christmas cheer with a significant bump in stock price.

    and it will cost upwards of $1000.

    Oh, but it will be extremely cool. It will also be given away free with every new Bimmer, and in SF Bay Area the city of Palo Alto will require that you wave it while entering the city limits.

    As much as I dislike the overhyping (and overpricing) of everything Apple creates, I have to give it to Jobs, for stealing the technical marketing thunder for 2010 with this tablet.

    Here come the endless stories and speculation; the masses of apple fanboys ready to re-mortgage their condo's to pay for this thing, and the articles; OH, THE ARTICLES!

    Dont cha love the 20page reviews with a single paragraph per page and enough ads to lock up your Noscript?

    The guy knows what he's doing. They will sell millions of them, whether they suck or not.....

    When was the last time Apple released a ruggedised device?

    My iPod Touch certainly counts as rugged, with 18 years of bumps, knocks, drops, scratches and moisture, working as well as ever.

    No doubt it will be some form-over-function gimmick that only Apple would pursue, like their one button mouse, or a 'smartphone' that will never have a real keyboard.
