On That NYTimes Editor's Mention of the Apple Tablet |

Why?
1) It's already been stated from multiple sources that Apple is "in talk" with different publishers and companies about a new device, and bringing multimedia entertainment into what some may consider a bland (albeit old and tested) form of entertainment (this does NOT support my views, I prefer reading over gaming, in fact. I read anywhere from 20-30 hours a week, whereas my 360 gets about 5 hours a week of play-time).
2) If Apple is currently IN WORKS of developing said device, then certainly they would give the publishers a heads up, like, "Hey, this device is coming out, it's going to be the shit, and you should start developing for it. Now." Publishers need time, and if Apple wants ANY sort of publisher launch base with its said "tablet", then of course publishers are going to know about it now, especially if they plan for a debut at Macworld 2010. (remember they did this with the original iPhone; showed off the device at Macworld, launched June 29, 2007).
3) Apple has a hard-on for the NYT. Remember the first presentation and announcement of the iPhone at Macworld 2007? "Loads New York Times 2x faster than (insert competitor's phone name here)!" And again in 2008. "iPhone 3G loads New York Times x times faster than previous iPhone!"....AND again in 2009, "iPhone 3GS loads NYT x times faster than iPhone 3G!"
So yeah. I don't for a SINGLE second have any doubt that Bill Keller, of all people, would know about the new Apple product. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he should be among the first to know about the damned thing. Which only supports my belief that NYT knows about it, and just unofficially officially announced that the product is tangible, and is currently in development. #nytimesappletablet

If you want to track down a proper rumor then have someone look into that Kevin Rose tweet the other day about some girl working at Apple that said that the product will not take the form of a "tablet" that everyone is expecting.
There's probably nothing there either but it's probably more interesting than some guy over at NYTs who certainly doesn't know anything. #nytimesappletablet
