While I'd love Apple to have some competition in the forthcoming tablet space, this is PURE speculation put forth by an organization with ZERO history of shipping ANY manufactured devices. Hey Engadget, why don't you wait for, I dunno, an actual realized working device (even in prototype form) before you devote labor and pixels to "covering" vaporware. You're also not doing any credence to your editorial reputation by merely being YouTube podcast stenographers. Add actual insight or you're wasting everyone's time and attention. PRO-TIP: When citing, you can link WITHIN a YouTube video's time index using the "#t=39m" suffix. (Ex. http://tinyurl.com/yj26c4x )

(whoa whoa whoa. Has Apple, you know, actually talked about a realized device? Are you not doing the very thing you are criticizing engadget for?)

The criticism was directed towards Engadget's "coverage" of vaporware as mere video stenography--not statements by Techcrunch.
