Have you ever noticed? The harder someone tries to keep something important secret, the bigger and better it gets with each time rumors spark. This is exactly what's happening with Apple's forthcoming touchscreen tablet, which continues to pique the interest of many even though it may as well be inexistent vaporware.
Apple has continued to stay mum about the much-awaited product, declining to comment about it in interviews and other news stories, but somehow people still seem to believe that it is indeed coming, like an all-important Messiah of the 21st century.
If it is real, prepare to see its first appearance some time in January, as several online reports have it that Apple plans to showcase the device and its full-screen apps that are already being worked on by a few select developers. At this point I still think it's nothing more than wild fanboy speculation (laced with drool, no less), but if the rumors prove true then we'll all be in for damn good show when this thing shows up.
