Apple event scheduled for Wednesday, January 27th, NOT the 26th
Apple is toying with us.Remember the information a few weeks ago about the big event scheduled for the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on January 26th? Of course, all of the Apple bloggers and pundits jumped all over this date as being the date for the announcement of something big like the tablet.
After thousands of posts have touted that date as the day that Steve Jobs will come down from the mountain carrying the 7" tablet under one arm and the 10.1" tablet under the other, the Wall Street Journal's Digital Daily is reporting that the event is going to be held on Wednesday, January 27th.
According to Digital Daily's John Paczkowski, sources have told him that this event is planned to announce a "major new product." We're all assuming that this is going to be the most widely-hyped product since the iPhone, so wouldn't it be hilarious if it was actually something completely different?
I, for one, am beginning to think that Apple is going to pull one of the biggest pranks ever on the world at large. How 'bout you? Leave your comments below for the world to see.

That picture is so funny! Could i have a copy for my website? Who can I contact! Hahahahah! Very funny!
I wonder is that the real size of the tablets (iSlate)? I though it would be no bigger than 9" and running snow leopard... Or is it a giant iPod Touch??
Hahahah! Very funny!
Here is hoping for updated iLife.
The Mac mini is a great machine, but time to lose the optical drive. Use the extra space, for a second HD, or a desktop drive, or space for btter graphics or other components, or for cooling.
Apple has us fanboys wrapped round there finger,
and we live and breath the technology.
This said, the industry seems 'ready' to release a tablet
be it the joojoo, the crunchpad, the iSlate..
If apple, inc does nothing with the tablet, then another tablet
will come out, and (may) hurt apple when (if) they do ever release one.
I for one, have my $1000 ready for the tablet.

All powerful Steve, tell me who to smite and they shall be smitten. Unleash your mighty tablets unto us and all who are worthy shall receive thine digitally distributed word. Hallelujah!

HE-LARIOUS and brilliant.

Just because all i-Phone roll-outs have been in June and everybody is expecting G4, 5 MP camera in June. I wouldn't be surprised if they throw it at us now to mess with us. Tablet could be now or or June as well. And some little things like iWork updates, maybe a mini update.

How about a new iPhone ??
If the Tablet comes, it will not come in June.
Consider how Apple handles the calendar. Macworld in January with some immediately released goodies, Iphone in June, Ipods in early fall, computers a little later in the fall leading up to the Holidays.
That isn't accident. It keeps traffic flowing in the stores year round (but avoids overcrowding as much as possible), it keeps Apple in the press and the public eye constantly, and it allows the marketing/logistics/distribution infrastructure to handle each roll out smoothly.
You can't put two blockbusters on the June calendar. Even if they skip iPhone 4.0 in 2010 (which they won't), What do they do in June 2011? Drop both? Even though my contract expires then, I'd still stay away from the Apple Store in the midst of that.
March actually makes a lot of sense, if the FCC cooperates.
MAYBE THEY BOUGHT OnLive and that will be their Console!
