I must admit when I first saw this post in Safari's Top Sites, I wondered where you were going. When you started talking about what drax0r can do with his Touch, I thought "I wonder if ehowton knows about the iPod event.
Then I got the biggest shock of my life: you remembered a news story that I shared with you.
I'll believe the tablet when I see it. There's this rumor and that rumor, but you know how Apple is with these things: it's not over until they announce their product.
The expectation at the September 9 presser is Nanos with cameras. That is the most sensible move. I don't think that Apple will be launching a tablet any time soon. The rumors about next year will have to materialize. Remember a couple of months ago we got all these stories about how Apple had bought up all the displays from the Korean company? Yeah, we'll just have to wait and see.
What I'm surprised that they aren't focusing a presser on is the release of Snow Leopard. I expected you to blog about how you've never bought an OS since ME with the exception of Leopard and I figured that you'd be the first in line for Snow Leopard...but then again, as that only runs on Intel based Macs and you like to live in the past...
Not that I expect you to take my advice on the Touch, but here goes: by the time that Touch is reduced in price, (unless there is some announcement on September 9 that affects Touches) it will be too late. Let's say Apple does do the tablet the rumor mill has slated for next year. When that comes out, it's going to make the Touch irrelevant.
The other thing to consider here is that unless you're buying used, Apple controls the price. Three weeks from today is when the iron will be hot on the 8 GB touch, not a year from now.
