标 题: Coming Soon: Apple Tablet May Be Called iSlate
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Mon Dec 28 14:56:20 2009, 美东)
I am reluctant to chase rumors.
So I decided against posting this news about Apple tablet. I then thought it
over, again and again. I change my mind, and let you decide the merits (of
the latest rumors).
(1) Apple has bought the name iSlate. Maybe this will be the name of a new
product, a tablet. Then again, Apple may have a pre-emptive strike | c**i

My comment:
(a) The "tablet" in the WSJ title is a pun. A tablet can also be a pill, as
medicine that is hard to swallow (due to its bitter taste).
(b) The last sentence has an idiom "putting the apple cart before the horse"
which means wrong order as a horse should be placed BEFORE a cart | c**i

The bottom line is it is all speculation.
