The Chicago Sun-Times’ Andy Ihnatko speculated on Apple’s tablet on The CBS Early Show.
“Apple wants a revolution in publishing,” Ihnatko says. “It could be as big as the original Macintosh.”

Hey Andy, what’s with the hat?
@ 84 Mac Guy
He’s a rugged adventurer.
Snappy!
Wait – what!?!
Like the good Star Wars !
At least he didn’t say “…On Steroids”. >.<
Oh Andy, let’s hope
Indiana Ihnatko LOL. He’s been wearing that hat for years. It’s like his trademark I guess. Whadadouche.
Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Tomorrow’s gonna be fun.
John Popper stole that look. He’s the Windows 3.1 of rugged nerds.
I haven’t been this excited since I “ended early” in the back seat of 69 GTO on my first drive down romantic circle.
@ TheMacAdvocate
I think John’s gastric bypass was a mistake. He never looked right thin. Plays a mean harp, tho.
@ 69 GTO
A wizard never ends early. Nor does he end late. He finishes exactly when he means to.
That’s silly. If it was as big as the original Macintosh, it wouldn’t fit in my backpack!
They’re going to take the Air…make it 10″ diagonal…yank the keyboard…insert a touchscreen…and run a beefed up iPhone OS.
@ ChrissyOne
Haha. Reminds me of a couple 24 jokes.
You can lead a horse to water, but only Jack Bauer can make him drink.
In kindergarten, Jack Bauer killed a terrorist for show and tell.
If it tastes like chicken, looks like chicken, and feels like chicken – but Jack Bauer says it beef – then it’s F’n beef.
Apple sucked all the air right out of the CES sails. All the big to small companies that shows products at CES that were hoping to get a few weeks worth of promotion and media hype but, all of it got slammed by Apple’s Jan 27th event announcement. Even before all the tables were folded up and stored and all the conventioneers vomit had been hosed off of the Las Vegas Streets and sidewalks, the media had forgotten about the humdrum bore-festival that is CES. CES is like the most boring and predictable Conventions in Las Vegas, with the biggest news being 3d Televisions, that left everyone saying who in there right mind is going to set in their living room with a pair of cheap and cheesy glasses on watching TV? The answer was will no one in their right mind. Let’s face it if the most interesting keynote speaker that CES can attract is Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer then CES needs to close it’s doors and someone who can get really interesting keynote speakers and and someone who knows how to organize a large convention.
@ 69 GTO:
You wrote “Jack Bauer” when I’m sure you meant to write “Chuck Norris”. Common mistake,

The new urban sombrero?
@ 69 GTO
You’d be high-strung too if you hadn’t slept in 8 seasons.
@ Digits McGee
When in Jack Bauers’s presence, Chuck Norris urinates sitting down.

Anyone’s guess how much $$ apple takes in the month after this? I better get rid of my ol tube radio and upgrade.
@ 69 GTO
The warp drive on the Enterprise is actually powered by a chamber containing Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris arm-wrestling.
Okay, comic book and TV heroes are fun, but jobs. Ives, Cook, Oppemheimier, et al are real. I wish GM and GE and their ilk could live up to Apple standards.
OTOH, I’m a bit partial to Xena
As big as the original Macintosh? One hopes it does a lot better. That original was over-priced (Sculley’s call), lacked color and slots. It was a closed system. And it didn’t sell well.
Wow, three minutes speculating about the impact of a phantom device the nature of which is a big unknown. That time would have been better spent Wednesday evening or Thursday Morn.

“Anyone’s guess how much $$ apple takes in the month after this?”
Probably nothing special if the slate doesn’t go on sale until March.
