These sources also tell us that Apple will begin an intensive four-week training course for these new hires starting next week. The training is said to be in preparation for an October release of “a very big new product.”
That is all we have currently. We are working to find out more information and to confirm certain things and have therefore tagged this as “RUMOR.”

What Balmer is thinking right now:
“a very big new product… huge…
It must be the 120″ iPad!!!
@Rockfixer.
No Wrong dude. This is what Balmer is thinking right now:
“I have to redirect all iPad, iTouch, iMac spies to a September surprise. Stop manufacturing everything! We must know what these fudders are doing so that we can …. copy, no wait a minute, … so we can improve upon it, what ever it is. I want every one on this. DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS Start Developing. I don’t give a crap what it is, just start developing for it…Now !!!! “
It’s got to be an enterprise solution. Someone pointed it out – Apple doesn’t do a lot with telesales, and telemarketing and telesales are completely ineffective for the consumer market – they’re better off with the Apple Stores and the online Apple Store. Enterprise solutions, on the other hand, rely very heavily on sales reps who work one-on-one with the client company to design a complete integrated package and who the company can call on a need-to-contact basis. So that’s got to be where this is headed.
@RW
You are perfectly right. I humbly stand corrected.
Thinking up the 120 iPad would have demanded at least some kind of rudimentary imagination – which we all know big B has none of.
Actualy, they will be selling Windows Tech Support.
