April’s Fool mit Scoble

Manchmal erzählt Robert Scoble schon ne Menge komisches Zeug. Das Söhnchen mit dem Apple-Tick, das in jungen Jahren schon heftig im lokalen Apple-Shop einkauft, ist ein weiterer Beweis, dass sich Kinder egal wie von ihren Eltern absetzen. Da Papa Scoble bei den Größen des Silicon Valley ein und aus geht, will man ihm fast eine Minute glauben, dass der Apple-Exec ihm am Strand mal eben einen Apple-Wolpertinger vorführt:

Apple collaborating with Amazon, Google, and Cingular on new iReader?:

„Back to what I saw: today we were eating at Sam’s Chowder House in Half Moon Bay when I saw someone down on the beach using a device I didn’t recognize. Being a geek I quickly ran down to the beach to see what it was. Turns out he was an Apple executive (he asked me not to name him) and tried to hide the device when I came near, but I eventually talked him into showing it off to me.

Apple, he told me, is looking to bring out an iPhone family of devices that’ll extend your iPhone into new usage patterns. The device that he was carrying around was built by a long-rumored Tablet team inside Apple. The executive also had an early iPhone production sample — we’ll talk about that later and how it works with this new device.“
