    And its going to be a glorified E-Reader, just like I predicted. Being right all the time is such a heavy burden.

    We'll see, I'm not calling it either way yet before we see something from Apple themselves (ahem, hopefully in what, seventeen or eighteen hours? I forget). The concept of an Apple tablet excites me a bit but I'm certainly not going fanboy over any of the concepts just yet.

    Contrary to popular belief I'm not an Apple fanboy, I happily criticize them at least as often as I express my love for some of their products and decisions. In the end they're mostly a bunch of dicks who often make nice stuff. IMHO.

    Nice work on keeping embargo/NDA, dummy. (To be clear, McGraw-Hill, not you, GQ)

    Something tells me they won't be getting anything under NDA for quite some time now.

    Calling it a glorified e-reader though is like calling a computer a glorified calculator. If the latest assumptions pan out a 10" device capable of running all iphone/touch apps, full color e-reader and a persistent 3g connection. That is so much more, especially if that 3g coverage is free like on regular e-readers. Even if the 3g isn't free with built in wifi as well that's an impressive device capable of disrupting both the netbook and e-reader markets.

    I'm looking forward to it, then to see what the competition comes out with.

    If it was full-time connected for not just e-book downloads (but also included AppStore and iTunes), then I would actually consider purchasing an apple product.

    Man, I still really doubt the 3G on this thing. AT&T can't keep up with iPhone traffic as it is to the point of not even selling iPhones in New York, I doubt they want to add a device made for higher resolution media and generally heavier bandwidth usage. If it's not AT&T that may be a another matter but I'm not sure anyone else is going to want to jump on that bandwagon at the moment. We'll see soon though.
