	<htmltext>Sorry, had to sacrifice mod points to post this.

I'm not an apple fan by any means, but you clearly have never used an Apple product outside of maybe a Mac.  The iPod Touch and iPhone are simply unmatched today.  The interface feels natural and easy to use.  I have a Blackberry, my old phone is a Windows Mobile 6.5 device, and I've written software for the Android OS.  I must say, out of all of those, the iPhone OS is the cleanest and easiest to use.  It also offers the most functionality thanks to the app store.  Yeah sure other platforms have app stores as well, but they suck balls in comparison to Apple's app store. In addition, iTunes on the iPod Touch and iPhone ROCKS!

If Apple can release a tablet PC that's as great as the iPod Touch and iPhone were, they are going to kick some ass and make a lot of nerds happy in the process.

DISCLAIMER:  I do not work for Apple, I get no kickback for this post.  I am not an Apple fanboi.  My primary phone is a Blackberry.</htmltext>

<sentencetext>What horrid timing - they're about a month and a half late, if indeed they do come out with this thing next month.
Next month will not only be after Christmas, but it'll also be after this healthcare bill has passed.Granted, there weren't too many, if any, "socially big item" releases this Christmas, that I can think of.

<p>But both of them are keyboardless devices running Windows XP Tablet edition, and frankly that sucks - a multitouch integrated UI specifically designed for keyboardless environments (not just bolted on like windows tablet) is really needed to make these things work proprly.
