Back in December, Nathan, Alison, and Bill discussed the possibilities of the widely rumored Apple tablet computer and its ramifications on business. Since this podcast was originally recorded, the rumors seem to be confirmed that Apple is, in fact, planning to launch a computer like this as early as the end of January, 2010.
