why is apple so quiet about the ipad

Well, No official release date, no TV ads, no insight on software ( why is there stuff missing on it compared to iPhone or iPod Touch), Etc......
Its not going to happen, the Ipad is part of a complex series of jokes for a reality TV show called "Jobs in Charge"
It's going to re-cast Scott Baio as Steve Jobs.
They had huge hype leading up to the official announcement, and huge coverage after the announcement. Certainly things may be fading from the high, but no point in Apple playing more marketing/hype cards until they really need to. They'll get another "free" blast from the media next month at release. Maximize your efforts. Ride the current wave as long as possible. [Insert lots of other metaphors here].
What would you like them to say?
The entire industry, publishers, developers, consumers have been talking about it.
Apple has a great product. It speaks for itself.
Because they are too busy talking about the discovery that the internet is really a series of tubes?
That can all wait until the day when people actually can buy one. These kinds of marketing messages are much more effective when they're delivered all at once, instead of in dribs and drabs. It's much better to pique interest when people can actually open their checkbook.
They did the launch event because they had to make the iPad public anyway for a variety of practical and logistical reasons. But, I doubt we'll see much promotion until the iPads are shipping.
Lol well they've plastered their home page with it, they've made a video about it and had a conference about it... What else did you expect?
Ummmm.... that's also been done. If by "taking forever" you mean it took to the end of Jobs' speech, then yes.
