The hype is reaching a frenzy now concerning the marvel device that apparently will even cook Christmas dinner. The rumors are now focusing on the 75% possibility of an Apple Event in January and a 50% probability that it will be to announce the Apple Tablet.So here's my question:What if they don't?Would Apple face a backlash from their loyal fanbase, frustrated that they have held off purchasing other devices (like the Amazon Kindle 2) waiting for Steve Jobs to hand them their "holy tablet?"Or (and I believe this to be far more likely) will it simply fuel the hype even further leading the faithful believers to defend Apple while simultaneously ramping up their "expected features" list?
