It seems mainstream (read: non-technical) media is catching up on the whole Apple Tablet thing and the fact that Macworld is coming in just a month. The Wall Street Journal posted a little tidbit on the fact that an announcement is imminent for February and a tablet might ship in March though that estimate “could change”. Surprise, surprise.
I guess all we can do is wait…until some guy at Apple who craves attention leaks out more details prior to Macworld. Of course, we won’t know if that’s Jobs and his disinformation used to root out the treasonous unfaithful from his sect.

UPDATE: I guess WSJ adjusted the wording of their article but TechCrunch seems to be more concerned with pricing. $1000 doesn’t seem to be enough for a tablet device. Really? You think so? What about this line:
“…such a price could include a subscription to a nationwide Wi-Fi wireless service such as those run by AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless, which provide Internet access at thousands of hot-spots such as airports, hotels and restaurants.”
Have you considered the possibility that $1000 is the subsidized price? They could throw it out there for $1500-2000 retail and give it to you for $1000 with a two-year contract with AT&T or whoever. In fact, doing that and making that carrier the exclusive seller of the tablet for a couple years could make it easier for them (relationship-wise) to start offering the iPhone on other carriers in the US. Stay tuned…
