No Apple Tablet Introduction at September Keynote Event?

Who are you to tell me what I want? I don't want some worthless cramped physical keyboard on justanothernetbook.
You're confusing the UI with the OS supporting it.
The tablet could *act* like the phone OS, but have real x64 OSX underneath - after all, the Iphone OS is based on OSX.
Imagine giving the "phone UI" the three-fingered salute and tossing it to the side, revealing the OSX desktop underneath.
Best of both worlds.
Rather than a 'tablet' I think Apple should call it a 'pill'. It could be red or blue, possibly the same machine depending on whether it's connected to the matri-, um, er, internet at the time.
I love rumours about what Apple won't do... kind of easy to make those up with a quick 'well they changed their mind at the last minute' if they do what you said they wouldn't.

CES more important to Apple than holidays sales?
Or maybe Steve will be introducing the tablet at CES, when he does the keynote. Can't you see the pieces falling together?
Did anybody really believe that Apple pulled out of Macworld because trade shows were irrelevant these days? (You don't need FireWire on a MacBook or maybe you do.) Ditto for trade shows er, maybe we do
The tablet won't even be promoted as a computer. It will be a media player, book reader thing, with internet. Apple isn't a computer company anymore and the move to CES was inevitable after that little change.
I don't think the ad filmed at the truck stop was for the tablet. That was just a new iPod ad. But I'm sure the tablet is ready to go now. Whether Apple releases it in September or at CES will tell us how much they value trade shows, because as others have pointed out - holiday sales for the tablet would be huge.
And yes, there's still room for a netbook with a touch screen and a real keyboard, as long is it's the footprint of the wireless keyboard and fits in my back pocket.

- The tablet was to be introduced at the September event
- Then analysts were leaked that it was delayed 'till next year
- Then we find out Steve has been asked to speak at CES

Yes, Kevin, Joe, and Nick are still alive and have been working on a comeback album for awhile now.
By that reasoning we should just be seeing 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duos being put into Macs!
USB 3 is just an architecture feature of motherboards, like memory speed and bus speed. Form doesn't come into it.
+1,000,000
i can't believe how such a device with such amazing potential has been so ignored. it could actually be the digital media hub apple has always talked about if they would just pay attention to it. common, apple!
hello? The iPhone 3Gs proved that movie can be edited and uploaded to the internet in secs... I don't see why a iMovie lite version canæt be made for a tablet.
I don't think anyone was expecting the Tablet on Sept. 7.
The rumors I heard said "just before Christmas."
I think they are going to use this event to revamp the iPod Touch and perhaps other iPods.
And probably release the new iTunes.

I had to Google Kevin, Joe and Nick to find out who the eff they are.
I had to wikipedia "The Jonas Brothers" to find their first names. Seems like yesterday when Hanson was the popular boy band.
Comic Sans is an aberration against humanity.
Snow Leopard on the 25, not at the iPod event. Tablet in October/2010, not at the iPod event.
That makes more sense, eh?
It's gonna have to be, because Microsoft owns The Beatles and all their descendants. Now who's feeling bad?
It will NOT run OS X. I am not even going explain the numerous reasons why again because I am so sick of explaining it to people in these forums!
It will run a revised version of the iPhone OS.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUOwowuibrk&feature=player_embedded

I agree about iLife and iWork, and it makes perfect sense because when they announce the Tablet they will also announce iLife '10 Mobile & iWork '10 Mobile!
They will not be quite as robust as the Mac OS X versions, but they will be very cool! +1,000,001. I have been hoping for a good update for quite some time since they said they would continue to invest in it. The only thing we have gotten was the new remote, which I love, but there could be so much more.
All they need to do is refresh the hardware and release an SDK with the App Store on Apple TV and it would be a HUGE success, especially with the Tablet in the mix! COME ON APPLE!!!
