Yeah, you're right, Apple can never get any positive press or hype about its products, especially before they're released.

The author of that piece goes to great lengths to inform the reader that the Google device is vapor. From the very first sentence all the way into the fifth paragraph, there are several reminders and caveats about it being conceptual and how there are no official plans for Google to enter the tablet arena.

Your implication that they are favorably comparing the Google device to the Apple device, and suggesting that you can get it today, is completely off-base. I see the piece as simply a "what if" comparison that takes into account how the companies' very different philosophies and tendencies *might* manifest themselves in a *hypothetical* tablet device faceoff.

In other words, you should probably look elsewhere for a vast anti-Apple conspiracy. Nothing to see here at all.
