Oh ho ho — Bill Keller, spilling the beans (or just gabbing like the rest of us):

I’m hoping we can get the newsroom more actively involved in the challenge of delivering our best journalism in the form of Times Reader, iPhone apps, WAP, or the impending Apple slate, or whatever comes after that.

This is noteworthy not just for gossip-y reasons. Even if he isn’t talking as an insider, Keller’s a journalist — he and his reporters probably have good info on this. Just how impending is impending? And is the NYT ready to do something real in that format, and related ones, like the iPhone? 

Something cool is going to be happening soon.
