The Apple story that didn't happen (yet) to make it a full-blown comics apocalypse

Apple didn't announce this yesterday, as many people were expecting.

If it had been, the comics industry as we know it would be completely changed in less than two weeks.

On the other hand-- Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, is also the largest shareholder of Disney. Which now owns Marvel. Which makes comics that would be perfect to display on any hypothetical Apple Tablet.

Hang on tight, folks. The ride does not get slower.

While not the iTablet, this may be just as game changing: http://dvice.com/archives/2009/09/asus-cheap-full.php

It's a two screen color, touchscreen ereader/tablet/laptopish kind of thing. That could be the ebook reader to really change things.

Honestly? I hate reading from screens. I seriously doubt this will be that "changing," simply because most people who are avid readers (of comics, books, whatever) are the least likely to want this technology.

Just two cents.
