It's interesting how so much buzz can be generated from a non-existent product.
True. But consider this and other forum's outrageous criticisms of various Apple products that were rumored, imagined, supposed, etc., that had yet to see the light of day, with no actual knowledge about those products.
There is some merit to all the buzz, though. Apple *has* changed the business model of buying music significantly, and the music industry more than the music industry would like.
The publishing industry would be foolish not to consider the possible changes that Apple might bring about. Obviously that doesn't mean that they will make good business decisions anyway.
Apple's track record and Stevie's business accumen (part of which is his penchant for secrecy) invite buzz.
I like that.
