Next week, when Apple customers are enjoying their generation iPads, RIM customers will still be wondering what this whole tablet thing is about. RIM developers, on the other hand, will just be wondering how to actually get coding. Meanwhile, an iPad subscription content provider made a telling remark this week and, while it was tough to pick just one, the Macalope will share with you his favorite silly coverage of the iPad 2 announcement.

Can you feel the excitement? We’re just days from the launch of tablet of 2011! The tension is palpable!

No, no, not the iPad 2! The PlayBook!

And, OK, not days, really. Except in as much as days make up weeks.
