Apple has dominated the tablet market the last two years with its iPad line. Since it reinvented the category in 2010, competitors have struggled to keep up with Apple's high-powered, low-cost slate.
But with Amazon's Kindle Fire coming November 15th, that could all change very quickly. The tablet undercuts the iPad's cost by $200, and has already seen a lot of popularity during pre-order. Should Apple be worried?

Given the importance of tomorrow's iPhone event, many have been wondering if former Apple CEO Steve Jobs will make an appearance. Mixed reports have surfaced that consider the possibility of Jobs attending tomorrow's event.

AllThingsD is reporting that Apple has scheduled its next media event for Tuesday, October 4th. Reportedly, new CEO Tim Cook will be the star of the show, and Apple will unveil the "next iteration" of the iPhone.
Rumors have been circulating that Apple would announce the next gen iPhone in late-September with an early-October release, but that appears to not be the case.

Cook will receive 1,000,000 shares which, when vested, would net the new CEO around $380,000,000 if they were cashed in today. Part of the deal is that he can't cash his investments for another ten years...
We know, you get it, the man resigned. But what you may not see are all of the ramifications of his early exit. There's a lot of people in the world with a lot riding on Apple's success, and their world just got a whole lot scarrier.
Sure, Tim Cook has the business-sense to keep Apple afloat. But he seems to lack Jobs' creativity and showmanship. Can you imagine him unveiling a new product?
