From InfoWorld: Word that Steve Jobs is now hard at work on an Apple tablet, which he reportedly deep-sixed twice in the past, may be good news for the tablet and bad news for its delivery date. Or maybe this is just a bit of Apple propaganda, passed to us by the Wall Street Journal, courtesy of the usual "people familiar with the situation." At this very moment, according to the Journal, Jobs is hard at work micromanaging the marketing of the new tablet. Geez, how complex can this be? We all pretty much know what Apple will say about the new tablet or any new product well in advance. Steve can just take the Apple hype template, change the product name and specs, and pull the trigger. We already know what the device is likely to look like, what the web page will look like, how it will be displayed in stores, and the likely adjectives used to describe it. Even the price is known--always barely tolerable for new Apple anything. View: Article @ Source Site |
