It seems to be a consistent comment. Though we won't know until it's out. Netbook challenger for profit or something else. We can't seem to agree what the point of the tablet is.

Oooh, I'm interested...needless to say. But thats true regardless of this report. But still nice to see.
Hopefully it will be as big as this rumor suggests.

I get shivers thinking about this product.
Not only because I think it will be great and make my life more enjoyable/productive.
However, for the fact being, I think this will be the last big thing from Apple/Steve for a very long time. There just isn't somewhere else to create a completely new product / idea after this.
There wil be cool new Macs, much improved iPhones, etc.
However, this may be the last time we really see a whole new idea, a new way of doing things, from Apple, particularly Steve.

I think Apple normally has a difficult time satisfying all the hype, but this tablet is just too much.
I can't wait to see what they unveil ,but its going to be tough to live up to the hype.

I have also had the feeling that this was Steve Jobs "most important thing" he has ever done. He put so much time (many years) into this device and platform (software/hardware).
I look forward to see what he, and his Apple teams, have come up with on the 27th.

For me, the trick to being able to appreciate whatever announcement that is made, is to not make any prejudgments based on all the rumors. I'll watch the event with fresh eyes and ears and forget the rumors so I can simply appreciate whatever comes for what it's worth. I may really like the tablet, or I may pass on it like the iPhone. I'm OK with it either way. Though, if Jobs truly is this excited about it, then I'll likely be satisfied with it.
