Pretty cool speculation abounding. It would be nice to have a new eBook device out there, though I'd prefer to stick with an eInk version for the sake of power-consumption. Apple has recently rolled out the "big" update to Leopard the other day and they've already updated most of their line-up. One SKU they haven't updated lately is the MacBook Pro; maybe they have some update for that?
It is interesting of the quote from Jobs about people not reading anymore, wonder what they have up their sleeves? The iPhone/iPod Touch SDK has been in the pipes for a few months now and is slated for a release at the end of the month, but too really see no reason to have a big event simply for the release of something of interest to dev's only (sorry to take the wind out of those sails though, because dev has been flourishing without it).
Let's keep our fingers crossed for a new reader!
