Steve Jobs Running Apple Tablet Development from Home?

**Cody Overcash** · 04-13-2009, 04:02 PM

A recent report by the Wall Street Journal indicates that Steve isn't completely out of the picture since he stepped down from running Apple due to health issues back in December. If the WSJ's sources are good Steve is actively working from home on the mythical Apple Tablet (or netbook).

Also, it appears that Steve will be back in time to announce the next iPhone in June. According to Apple spokesman Steve Dowling "Steve continues to look forward to returning to Apple at the end of June."

What sort of data is this based on? This sounds more rumor-y (yes I know that's not a word) than many of the rumors around here...

I got some news too:
This just in: Steves Jobs to annouce the Apple toilet... wipes your @$$ for you and smells like apples. Neat huh?
