    In reply to Wired for the Apple Tablet
    I've gotta say, at this point in time I really hope that Apple decides not to release a tablet. There has been such an incredible amount of hype it's going to be near impossible to live up to any sort of expectations.

    Apple has experimented with something that could have failed with the iPhone. They came through with a big win. That arguably helped launch them into another level of brand identity.

    If, after all of this hype, they come out with something as failure-ridden as the Cube, or first generational as the first iPod, or as un-focused as the AppleTV, they could walk away with egg on their face that they can't clean off.

    I guess really this whole game is about rolling the dice, so if they do go for it, I hope they do it right. But... I wouldn't mind seeing them put this on the back burner for another couple of years.

    I hope these publishing companies realize that while Apple may save them from their doom, it also means that the company has them by the balls. If anything, they really do need to get a competitor out there to make sure that Apple doesn't abuse this relationship (plus, I'm sure monopoly bells will be ringing soon enough.)

    It would have been nice if they didn't take a chance with that music..

    Whatever happened to Apple's lawsuit over Australian supermarket chain Woolworth's trademark? Applebee's would be a more suitable target.

    What about a Nokia N900 [en.wikipedia.org] for the Linux fanbois?
    Only $650, but with a real GPS and all the Linux apps you can compile.

    Best of all, you aren't stuck with hacking your device to load any software or gain root access.

    @NorwoodIsMyHero: Ignorant? ha. Your reply is ignorant. I do know stocks and I would never own AAPL nor MSFT. That is my point.

    You just don't get my message. STFU.
    I bet you think that is a stock symbol too.

    MSFT- 8.88 Billion
    AAPL- 900.68 Million

    @SigmundTheSeaMonster: Rage much? You can dish out the troll comments, but can't take them?

    Comparing MSFT and AAPL is like comparing apples and oranges with the way their balance sheet is structured, how revenues flow in, and what type of shareholders they have.

    So cool to see your original article, and to see how much has achieved since then.

    I'd still like a non-Jailbroken version of iBlacklist, and AdBlock for Safari. We sorta got ClickToFlash... I believe the iPhone version is called ClickToStillNoFlash.
