I got my fade — everybody had braids / And now they switchin’ to fades / and I’m thinkin ‘bout braids.
This line from Nelly’s song, “Pimp Juice,” obviously comes to mind when thinking about the rumored Apple Tablet:
- Microsoft released what they called “Tablet PC” in 2001. It was a flop.
- In 2009, when rumors of a new Apple product started up again using the word “Slate”, Microsoft tried to capitalize on the hype by debuting an HP Slate at CES.
- With this effective misdirection, Apple will name their product the Apple Tablet.
