Apple Tablet may be announced on Jan. 26th
At long last the saga of the Apple Tablet may be drawing to a close as evidence mounts of an announcement of some form on Jan. 26, 2010.
In what has to be the most drawn out launch in the history of computer manufacturer Apple, it appears that the Apple Tablet may finally be on its way next month.
Over the past few days more and more evidence has leaked that a major product announcement is imminent from the Cupertino, Calif-based company. The Financial Times is reporting that Apple has booked the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) in San Francisco for several days in late January. One of those days is Tuesday, Jan. 26th, and history shows that Apple loves to make announcements on Tuesdays. The YBCA is also a favorite location of Apple to make announcements, most recently was last September for the latest iPod release. Both Apple and the YBCA have declined to comment.
The second piece of evidence is this news from Silicon Alley Insider that select iPhone app developers have been contacted about changing the screen resolution on their programs. A source told the blog, “They’ve told select developers that as long as they build their apps to support full screen resolution — rather than a fixed 320×480 — their apps should run just fine.”
The third piece of evidence comes from information gathered by The New York Times:
But the icing on the cake comes from a current senior employee inside Apple. When one of my colleagues here asked if the rumors of the Apple tablet were true, and when we could expect such a device, the response from his source was, “I can’t really say anything, but, let’s just say Steve is extremely happy with the new tablet.”
Yet another recently departed Apple employee tipped me: “You will be very surprised how you interact with the new tablet.”
Could we finally be only a month away from the announcement we have all been expecting for months?
