The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we’re really excited about,

said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.

Today’s the day for Apple fanboys. Apple is going to hold a special event – ‘Come see our latest creations’ on Jan. 27 at 10.00 AM (PST) at Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco. As mentioned in the press release of the first quarter financial result, there will be a major new product announced this week. This should be something really excited and very likely, it’s the long-rumored tablet device – iPad / iSlate / iTablet, and we should be prepared for the disappointment as well.

Bill Keller, The New York Times executive editor, talked to the digital group at The New York Times October 16th with focus on the next couple of months. In his speech he mentioned delivery of content to mobile devices, including the “impending Apple slate.”

The New York Times is rumored to become a huge part in an upcoming Apple tablet device, that maybe will become the next generation of print media. No one knows, and Apple hasn’t announced anything about a tablet device yet, but according to The New York Times, they have been working on a tablet device for at least 6 years, and it is rumored to be released in February 2010.
