Apple Execs Downright Giddy About The Tablet (techcrunch.com) Industries Apple's Tablet Could Shake Up (popularmechanics.com) Apple Tablet 'Isn't Going To Cost Anywhere Near $1,000' (businessinsider.com) Apple Tablet: Bestest, Coolest, Greatest Thing Ever (markevanstech.com) Apple's tall order may be making tablets viable (sfgate.com) "Flurry Notices Cupertino-based Users Testing Apps on Apple Tablet" The only way this secret could have been less secretive was if it had been passed to the CIA with explicit instructions that under no circumstances was it to be leaked to the New York Times.
