See, I told ya.....

Rumours abound of an Apple event in September.

Actually, Apple always hold an event in September, usually to launch a revamped iPod range for the Christmas period.

But as I mentioned in my previous blog post, immediately, everyone starts speculating about the "tablet".

Within a few hours, Jim Dalrymple of The Loop publishes a blog post:

Very reliable sources familiar with the product have said speculation of the tablet being introduced during the September event are flat out wrong. The Apple tablet, they said, would not see the light of day until the first part of 2010.

Now although Jim doesn't say so, this is a clear intervention from Apple to say "Hang on guys, it's not going to happen this year! Let's just calm down a bit"

I have to say though, I'm surprised that 2010 was mentioned.
