Apple tablet: thoughts, and leaks, from around the web

Apple's new tablet drops in about an hour, and people are talking. Be honest, how well did you sleep last night?

Scobleizer is glued to Twitter, marking his favorite buzz about the upcoming announcement:

Steve Jobs will not just change the e-book market, but I think he will redefine rich mobile experiences, just like he has in the past with iPod and iPhone.

Are you excited about the new device? What is the highest price you would pay, now that you know most of the features? I would throw down $599 or $699 depending on how awesome it was. The price would come down in a year, and then everyone could afford one.
