I personally believe that Apple generates many of these
rumours themselves.....what better and cheaper way to do
market research than to float an idea out there and then
let the bloggers and the media spread the word and then
field,FOR FREE, the opinions and interest of the
marketplace?
The avid interest expressed by the public response to the
Mac "tablet" is telling them that they'll sell them in
plenty....and we're even telling them what we want it to
look like and what features we'll pay for.
I have little doubt that Apple is more than happy with the
rumour mill and uses the market feedback it provides
them to great advantage. If anything, the mystery makes
Apple even more popular to watch and increases
sales...everybody loves an intrigue, after all, and the Secret
is just a part of Apples cachet..owning a piece of that
brings a bit of that to the holder. I know I'll have
everybody's attention, at least for a little while, when I
whip out MY AppleTablet..... wink
