Rumors, Free Stuff and The Apple Tablet
Much News all over the web from the just concluded Consumer Electronics Show, (CES). The new tech highlight bubbling up is 3-D TV. Imagine the new realities: car accident footage followed by the Scrubbing Bubbles in the ’space’ of your living room! Video games and porn will be the first to exploit the new 3-D Tech.
CES cool as usual -what better way to get paid – by going to a huge underwritten party. I’ll always remember the Shrimp Cocktail and excellent beer I had courtesy of a major printer company..memories.
Undercutting the thrill of the products announced at CES is for a product that doesn’t ‘exist’ yet built by a company that is absent from the show. The Apple Tablet. Apple is an expert at building hype, sometimes for even non-existent products. But the web rumor mill is full of speculation about a new device, using a version of the iPhone operating system (?). Speculation about this device is rampant- expert marketing – Apple generates buzz without even being at the show, the timing of the popularity of the rumors couldn’t be done better. CES is last year’s news already.
Supposedly the official announcement from Apple will be January 27.
