All of the waiting and assuming can finally end today as Apple plans to unveil…. something. Although pretty much everyone with an Internet connection can probably assume this is going to be the unveiling of the much anticipated Apple iTable (or iPad or iSlate) today is still going to be an interesting day. Earlier this year tons of techno journalists were invited to a special event being put on by Apple on January 27th at 10AM PST. The rest of us will just have to wait for the blogs and Twitter updates.
Previous Apple events such as this have revealed the iPhone, the iMac and various versions of the Macbook – to assume this year’s unveiling will be something like the iTablet isn’t too much of a stretch. With so much already written about it (you can check out what The Elevator Pitch has written about it here) it is almost as if we would be surprised if it it was something else.
But the news shouldn’t come without healthy enthusiasm, especially since a lot of the journalists in the gaming world have also been invited. In an article currently posted on Crunch Gear, a writer has hinted that the new device is actually a gaming console. In any case, these times of the year are always exciting for the tech nerd – it’s like Christmas for Apple geeks.

With apps galore and basically the capabilities of a lap top computer, Apple’s iPod and iPhone are quickly becoming a mainstay in media and information technology. Although the applications for gaming, photos, social networking and even recipes are amazing in terms of sharing and consuming information, the one function these applications will never reach is that of physical sleep. Yes, there are apps out there that play tones to help you sleep and rest and recharge, but there will never be anything that you could literally curl up into and nap with… Until now.
