As usual Larry is spouting unintelligent crap concerning something he knows

Give him a break. If he wrote what he knows about he wouldn't write
anything at all.

That's the point. Steve Jobs said in his 2005 commencement address at
Stanford:
"Your time is limited, so don�t waste it living someone else�s life.
Don�t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other
people�s thinking."
At issue is an _imaginary_ Apple tablet PC. Sounds like the guy in the
video who is doing your thinking for you wants to compete with John
Dvorak. "The iMac will fail." "The iPod will not sell. "Nobody will buy
an iPhone." Dvorak, at least, gets paid to troll. It has to be the
ultimate in laziness to point to someone else's troll--as you
did--rather than fabricate your own.
So exercise your creativity. Spend some time envisioning this
(non-existent device) and give us your own review of its (non-existent)
features and your own assessment as to why the (non-existent) device
will or will not sell. Skip over the part about it being crash-proof
and malware-proof; Maccies already know that the (non-existent) device
will be that.

it would be awfully clever malware if it could infect a device that did
not exist.

"Imaginary"?? Maybe, maybe not.
Your basic point is correct that Larry and his idiot cronies spouting
garbage about a device that they (and almost everyone else on the planet)
know nothing about is standard practice for them. They're simply brainless
morons.
BUT,
there are rumours about Apple soon releasing a netbook / tablet which is
basically a larger iPhone. The rumours have been around for quite a while,
but are gaining ground for a release just before or after Christmas with
Asian manufacturers reporting Apple's orders for device with a 9.5" touch
screen.

Until such a product is announced it remains imaginary. Conjecture,
guesswork, estimates, predictions--all involve trying to imagine
something that one has not seen, and that may not exist to be seen.
Thus, for now, an Apple tablet PC is an _imaginary_ device in my
lexicon.

Being unannounced doesn't make it "imaginary", simply unreleased. Imaginary
would imply the product doesn't exist at all. The actual product may well
exist within Apple's walls, even if only as a prototype. Apple has had many
unreleased products over the years, as well as many patents for ideas they
never make.
An unannounced Apple product has actually been showing up on website
statistics for a little while (due to testing), but I'm not sure if that was
the "iTablet" or the iPhone 3Gs.

"...may well exist..." The corollary is that it may well not exist. You
don't see that you are filling in with your _imagination_ !?

One might _imagine_ that it's a tablet, however, mightn't one?
