Hmm...

Why are we pontificating about a device that hasn't been announced yet, and might never see the light of day? I understand that the Internet says it will be released sometime in March 2012 (and the Internet is never wrong?!?), but with Apple you can never be sure until Tim Cook presents it on stage at some conference.

At least that's a step up from Microsoft, where you have Steve Ballmer over-hyping the Courier Tablet years before it's planned for production, only to cancel the product before it gets anywhere.
