Apple Table Just Around the Corner?

At the last Apple Keynote everyone was expecting something big from Apple. An Apple table specifically.  Something that would change the game for tablet computing.  Instead we got a few mac updates and ipod beefed up.  On Thursday Apple stock jumped 7 dollars , closing at 209.10, the highest its closed since earning reports last November.  Reports by several media houses are expecting a tablet from Apple as soon as February.  Only question is will this tablet be successful??

Will the table be a larger ipod? will ipod apps be ported to it. Will it be a more versatile interface, enabling programmers to expand on cocoa programming? Its unclear what Apple has in store for us. But answer may be near.

Apple revamps iPod Lineup

Everyone was expecting something big from Apple.. Like an Apple Tablet.. but that didnt exactly happen. We intead got a camera on the iPod nano. A iPod Touch 32GB and a 64GB running on the same hardware as the iPhone 3GS. The touch line will be marketed as a gaming hand held and pocket computer. The best part of the Apple event was the release of the new iTunes.
