For the sake of Christmas if not our collective sanity - please stop posting this sort of crud. Who cares about posts about what a consumer goods company might market at some indeterminate time in the future? I for one could do with a holiday from this sort of nonsense. Apple fanboys click away!

Well, the reason why speculation about Apple is posted so furiously is that a lot of people do care. After all, Apple controls some 90% of the high end PC market (>$1000). Don't like the posting? Don't read it.

  Think about it - you are prepared to get excited about complete guff about what might - but usually turns out to be certainly not) be. Interesting world view. My Christmas present to you is to free you from such lunacy - boom - you are free and need no longer worry about what might be - you can just enjoy what is.

    All they have to do is scale up an iPhone to something that's comfortable to read, and they will own the entire market. At least they'll sell one to me. :-P

Who cares about posts about what a consumer goods company might market at some indeterminate time in the future? Those of us who are want to launch products on the new platform and get a step on our competitors. That's why I read HN for the most part - I can keep a good pulse on not only new technologies, but what other entrepreneurs are thinking. Imagine if.. 4 years ago you had even an inkling of what the iPhone and iPhone App Store model would become in 2009.. you'd probably be richer than you are now, even if you were ignorant of tech entirely and only bought Apple stock ;-) Heck, even knowing six months before app fever hit, you'd have cashed in if you were quick enough as a publisher or developer. I want to know everything about this Apple tablet - even the pointless speculation - because anything might be the scrap of information I need to connect a ton of dots together and come up with an idea or a product that could make me a ton of money. I did just that when people were ranting under the radar about Ruby and Rails in 2004 and I've made quite a bit of money from being quick off the mark.
