Like you, I just wish people would STFU about it.

WHY AM I POSTING ABOUT THIS?

I bet Leo is going ape over it. He couldn’t get enough of Twitter back when it first opened. His panels were so annoyed with him and Twitter that I think some decided to stop showing up for a while. I wonder if that will happen again if/when the iTablet/iSlate/iWhateverthefuck comes out.

The one good thing from all this is that Apple’s stock is climbing very nicely. It will crash horribly after the 27th no matter what the announcement is. For some reason that always happens. I have been told its due to anticipation, but I would think that if a “jesus” tablet is announced that Apple’s value would skyrocket.

I see more and more doctors using tablet computers when seeing their patients and a device that used touch instead of a stylus seems the perfect tablet device to me. My gastro doctor has an iPhone and was all excited about the Comics app from Comixology last week. I don’t know if he got it, but he sounded like he would.

I decided this morning to swear off Apple-based podcasts until February 1. I’m sick to death of hearing about the new, magical device that will surely usher in our technological salvation. Mac Break Weekly is the absolute worst. The last 3 weeks have been almost an entire hour of speculation. Leo is so obsessed with it he sounds like he’s about to burst a vein, and even when someone tries to bring up a new subject, he brings the conversation right back to speculation. Hell, I even turned off Mac OS Ken this morning. I just can’t take it any more.

I thought the iPhone speculation was bad, but this is approaching obscene. Seriously? There’s nothing else to talk about?
