I don't know if this has anything to do with Apple Marketing. A lot of this has to do with a very slow news cycle in the tech industry.
As proof I offer up the CrunchPad. TechCrunch is just the opposite of Apple, they've never released a hardware device at all. Yet the CrunchPad is getting mentions in the NY Times even though we know only slightly more about it than we do about Apple's tablet.
So I think a lot of the hype is because nothing's going on right now and the tablet form factor has caught the tech world's interest.
- axod 17y agoI agree about cycles... >> "and the tablet form factor has caught the tech world's interest." ..like it did years ago. The thing was though no one bought them. Is the Crunchpad still being developed? Seems they have gone eerily quiet about it now. The cynic in me would say that if they have decided it's not a good idea, TC can always spin it as "We forced Apples hand and made them come up with a tablet, by announcing the Crunchpad".
