Apple Antics

I just had a thought. A couple of months ago Mary and I both converted to Apple folk. You know the ones with the black mock turtlenecks and cool retro dark rimmed glasses that are always waving their iPhones around and so on. Well, we're not quite like that, though I have to admit since we dropped the Microsoft Network stuff we haven't had a single issue with the Apple equivalent so now I might think about spending a few mornings a week at the local Starbucks preaching the word according to Steve Jobs.

But really, we're not those people. Yet.

Anyway, back to my thought. Tomorrow is the big day, I-Day if I might be so bold as to suggest a marketing catch phrase, for the release of the Apple tablet computing device thingy. Or is it? See, Apple hasn't actually said they're going to release a tablet - they've just said that there's an exciting product launch tomorrow. What if it isn't a tablet?

Think about it - maybe it's a something else entirely. Like they're going to build iPods into all GM cars (which would make them like 120% better than they are today), or maybe they're going to release iJacks which are Apple branded personal jetpacks. Or iFlars - Apple Flying Cars! The future is here! And it comes it a lower case I in front of it! And an exclamation mark at the end!

I really wish they would release something different - just to screw with people's minds. No wait, I'm an Apple person now and I must have my next Apple fix so it better be an iTablet or iSlate or something like that or I will lose all faith in my technological messiah.

If you're looking for me next week I'll be in line at the Apple store for the iSlate. And yes, I know it won't be released till October. But I must have it! My precious!
