“Not since Moses came down from on high with those commandments has a tablet generated so much interest,” Jim Goldman reports for CNBC.
MacDailyNews Take: We just knew that graphic would come in handy someday and today’s the day (twice so far)!
Goldman continues, “But such is the case with the Mac Tablet, MacSlate, iPad, or whatever it might be called from Apple. And it all makes sense in a strangely biblical way since Apple was the company that unleashed that so-called ‘Jesus phone.'”
“The world is all a twitter now that the Wall Street Journal has jumped on the tablet train, breaking news this afternoon that the Apple event later this month will in fact be about the tablet, which will be unveiled with a 10 or 11 inch screen and hit store shelves in March,” Goldman writes. “I guess that’s news, but the blogosphere has been rife with other details: the event will be Jan. 27 instead of Jan. 26. The tablet will sell for under $1,000. It’ll sell 10 million units in its first year and generate $1 billion in revenue. Those are the rumors, and they won’t become fact or fiction officially until Jobs walks out on stage (rumored to be at San Fran’s Yerba Buena Gardens, by the way) later this month. Or next. Or whenever.”
“We’ll know when we know, which is about the same time that Steve Jobs has circled on his desk blotter, and highlighted on his iPhone calendar, following the single, most important Apple commandment: When Jobs – and only Jobs – is good and gosh-darned ready,” Goldman writes. “All the rest is just sport.”
