Apple preparing to reveal its 'latest creation'

A few crumbs fall from the tablet. Er, I mean table

Apple preparing to reveal its 'latest creation'

Apple has sent out a press invite to a mysterious event on January 27th, with no details as to what people are actually being invited to. But that's okay, as it gives us a juicy opportunity to speculate our heads off.

All the invitation offers is to "Come and see our latest creation", so we're happy to jump in with both feet and say the much-rumoured and highly anticipated touchscreen tablet is ready to have the curtain pulled back.

We've looked at each and every Apple tablet (or iSlate, as some reports prefer) rumour, and if even half of them prove to be accurate this should be a hot piece of kit.

It's unlikely Apple will steal the tablet's thunder with talk of new iPhone hardware at the same event, but one thing that could tie the tablet and iPhone/iPod touch together is a new iteration of the operating system.

There's a good chance that iTunes, the App Store, and the iPhone OS would need a bit of work to bring the tablet comfortably into its fold, so let's rub our chins and ponder the possibility of iPhone OS 4.0 also being revealed on Thursday.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
