There has been alot of chatter in reference to a possible release of a tablet device from Apple.  With the return of Steve Jobs,  the clamor has been getting louder.  Apple is known for great disinformation campaigns and alot of us feed into it.  If Apple is to release a tablet and join the netbook market, Apple has to raise the bar and change the game.  A tablet from Apple has to look cool, and function far better than existing and future netbooks.  Alot of speculators believe that the tablet will appear in November, just in time for Christmas.  Why not bring it out at CES 2010?  That only Apple knows.
