Apple tablet to be the “most important thing” Steve Jobs has ever done

Word around the web is that Steve Jobs has been heard saying he considers the rumored Apple tablet to be the most important thing he’s ever done. And considering this is coming from the man who helped bring you the Mac, the MacBook, the iPod and the iPhone, then this is just one more reason why we’re all impatiently waiting for Wednesday’s announcements.

I wouldn’t call this a direct quote, but apparently, TechCrunch has numerous, independent sources that confirm Jobs said something very close to the following while talking about the device we’re all waiting for:

This will be the most important thing I’ve ever done.

Believe it? It’s highly likely that he said it, but do you think he’s right?
