January 27th invite
On the 27th of January (American time) Apple are holding a Media event, now the exact purpose of this Media event isn’t known by anyone other than those in the inner-circle at Apple HQ, but with their invite and advertisements stating “Come See Our Latest Creation” many can only assume that it is of course the subject of much rumour and speculation, the Apple Tablet Device, said to have been in the works many years, and to have been shelved several times but with the purchase of 10″ Screens by Apple and many places “Quoting” discussions and information, many people are jumping to the conclusion that the illustrious tablet will indeed be the center piece of this media event, along with iPhone OS 4.0 and possible slight updates to the iLife suite.

While no one knows for sure that Apple is releasing a Tablet at all this year, many sources have been claimed to have said that Apple will be releasing or announcing a Tablet in the first quarter of 2010. While rumour sites are abuzz with speculation and wishlists and artist-renditions of the device. Most people are certain that there will be a Tablet because of two reasons, the last time there was this much hype about product releases. Apple squashed such rumours well and truely before the event, to prevent the let down of certain products not being released from hurting their sales of other devices. And the second reason being that a few app creators for iPhone/iPod Touch Applications have been asked to create higher resolution versions of their apps, most likely for Apple to demo on the Tablet device.
Being the junky that I am, I will likely purchase this device if it’s some great new advancement, but it will want to be more than just an over grown iphone other wise my wallet may just stay shut, and at the moment the majority of talk has it running iPhone OS. Which could be the major let down of said device. There’s no way I’m going to be able to cover all the rumours and speculation here, so if you want to see what others are saying about the possible device, check out Macrumors.com
