Apple just announced that on Wednesday, January 27, at 10am Pacific, it will unveil "our latest creation." The picture at the top comes from the invitation sent to select journalists, as shown at Engadget. The rumors are that Apple will announce a new tablet computer, but I am just as interested in rumors that Apple will also preview version 4.0 of the iPhone operating system. We haven't seen an iPhone update since September of 2009, which is a long stretch for Apple not to update the OS. Many have speculated that Apple has been waiting to release an update to the iPhone OS to version 4.0 until it was also ready to preview a new tablet computer because the iPhone and tablet operating system will share system code.
All of this is speculation for now, but my hope is that we will have some major iPhone news next week.
