I’ve been helping my super awesome cousin Carrie with some drama she has had with her laptop. It has been having adventures and I’ve been trying to help and she has also been in contact with Apple to try and fix it. While she was speaking with a rep over the phone, she got some interesting info:
Carrie: Just talked to a lady at apple! She told me the tablets are launching the first week of February!
Eli: Yay for your laptop! And did she really?
C: Yeah. My laptop died again, it needs new ram. That lady just made me so excited. I’m bouncing.
E: Lol. I’m really hoping that it will be good stuff
C: She said it definitely is.
There hasn’t been that much excitement there in years. She’s been working there for 15 years or something like that.
As with all rumors and speculation surrounding Apple product releases, this could be any number of things. It could be one of the infamous fabricated leaks which Cupertino loves to put out there, maybe they are using their customer support to spread stuff at random? It could be some mis-information to throw us all off track, or a service representative who is just playing around. But I think (and hope in my heart of hearts) that this is actually just the pure enthusiasm and honesty of one Apple fan in the know sharing it with other Apple fans.
I guess we will all see next Wednesday.
