Rumor Squashed - No Atom powered Tablet says Intel

Well as fast as they are leaked, they are retracted. I am not sure if the powers that be called down on Intel’s German big boy MD Mr. Schwaderer, but he has made a statement to the same ZDNet.de (translation here) that first broke the story.
Reminds me of the featured video I have on the right of Steve Jobs saying that “Isn’t it funny when a ship leaks from the top” or something like that, but I totally see what you mean Steve 
Was he really just speculating or was he being specific and then had his socks pulled up for having too many Schnaps. But you must admit that allot of specific info was mentioned. It’s one thing to say, “oh yeah Apple for instance may use this in a mobile touch internet device.” But its something else to get into size of the screen and power consumption.
We all know that if Apple is indeed using Intel’s chip, the deal its worth tens - hundreds of millions, and you can bet that the powers that be, would have made the call to tell Mr Schwaderer to stfu.
