Mark my words, I shall never refer to this device by its given name. Let us never speak of it again.

It will always be the Apple Tablet to me.

I hope someone gets in there and fixes that .round_bl class before Steve sees!

The iPad
After months (nay, years) of speculation, Apple has released their tablet: The iPad. The device has a 9.7” IPS screen, is 0.5” inches thin, and weighs 1.5 pounds. Some other hardware highlights include a whopping 10 hour battery life and Apple’s own 1GHz “Apple A4” ARM chip, likely made from its acquisition of P.A. Semi-technology.

Starts at $499.

And now they switchin’ to fades /
and I’m thinkin ‘bout braids."

This line from Nelly’s song, “Pimp Juice,” obviously comes to mind when thinking about the rumored Apple Tablet:

1. Microsoft released what they called “Tablet PC” in 2001. It was a flop.
2. In 2009, when rumors of a new Apple product started up again using the word “Slate”, Microsoft tried to capitalize on the hype by debuting an HP Slate at CES.
3. With this effective misdirection, Apple will name their product the Apple Tablet.
