No tablet at Sept. event?
Apple should indeed be holding a publicity event in September, but it will not highlight the company's rumored tablet computer, "very reliable" sources are said to claim. Some media reports have pointed to a September announcement for the device, typically described as having a 10-inch touchscreen, an iPhone-like design and a built-in 3G connection. It may also be subsidized by Verizon Wireless.
The September event is instead predicted to concentrate exclusively on music, as has been standard for several years. It may thus feature new iPods, and updates to iTunes, such as iTunes 9. The tablet will in fact receive no mention at all during the event, the sources say, and arrive only in the first half of 2010. If accurate, the claim reinforces the views of several analysts.

Verizon sucks
If Verizon has their fingers into it, I don't want one. If they can't keep from crippling it, they'll still nickel & dime you to death at every opportunity.
