This is little funny.

I love how weeks before Apple announced their new magical product – the iPad – rumours were all over the Internet that the new Apple secret device will be called Slate. So everyone including major players start talking about the new tablet computers called Slates. Apple came out with the device at the end, but it is called an iPad, now all the major payers on the market now start talking about introducing Pads. Hey Toshiba and the others, what happened to your favourite, rumoured Slates devices?

Once again, we see that Apple as leader in the technology trends, the rest is simply just their poor cousins… they are simply followers.
