an interesting article talking about apple and a slate

I don't know about how read that is. There are always a ton of "rumors" about what apple is going to come out with. Many of the Cult MAC photoshop this crap together.

Years and years of pure rumors and wishful thinking.

Apple will, of course come out with their version of a UMPC or Tablet PC, and claim to have "innovated" again.

They will have claimed to have innovated it because they will innovate it! There's so much more one should be able to use the nifty pen with!

By "innovation" if you mean taking others' work and claiming as theirs, then sure, Apple will innovate yet once again. MS is no saint in this regard obviously, but Jobs and his version of Apple since Woz departed is the king of this. Just about everything from the GUI, (from Xerox PARC along with mouse, OOP) to Multi Touch (from Jeff Han and multitude of others) is either outright stolen without compensation (Xerox PARC) or borrowed/licensed.

Any news on that old rumour?

Ok someone is good at photo shop 'again' and the mac world goes insane. How many times is this going to happen before macboys stop believing every rumor that surfaces on the internet.

Even if this were true it would be much more expensive than 2,500 considering apple's track record for overpricing every single product they make.

On a side note I love how people call the verizon wireless LG Prada an 'i-phony' even though it was the FIRST to come out. How can the prada be an i-phony if it had the original idea, engineering first, and put on the market first?
