27 January: T-Day for Apple?
For months, all we've had on the mysterious Apple tablet was speculation and predictions. Now, finally, we may just have a date to go with it.
Reports are beginning to surface that Apple is planning an event for 27 January for San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The downtown San Francisco location has been Apple's home away from home when it comes to product unveilings. If a new product isn't rolled out at company headquarters in Cupertino, it's going to be unveiled at Yerba Buena Center.
While Apple has backed away from the Macworld expo in the last year, January has remained a popular time for the company to roll out new products, and given the speculation that has been going on since last fall, this could be it. Apple analyst Gene Munster has gone so far as to predict a March release.
As an aside, how much of a slap in the face to Macworld would it be for Apple to walk away from the show, only to make its biggest announcement in years just days before the show? One has to wonder if there was more to the story than Apple simply wanting to go on its own time frame.
