Apple to make Tablet announcement on January 26th?

Rumour has it, Steve Jobs is to make an announcement on January 26th about the highly anticipated Apple tablet…

On June 15th, we brought to you a piece written by the Financial Times detailing the Apple tablet and what it is expected to look like, (http://bit.ly/5OmlhR) well the wait may just be over.

Mac rumours website has unearthed documents detailing Apple has already registered a few websites, “iSlate” and “iGuide” – applications dated 2007, while US records from the US Patent and Trademark Office have showed Apple has made applications detailing a new “touchscreen like keypads”.

Question being, how will you be able to use a touchscreen as you would a keyboard when it is expected to be entirely flat – thus making touch-typing virtually impossible. Will the iSlate have a 7″ screen – the same size as an Amazon Kindle? Or perhaps a 10″ screen – similar to netbooks? Predictions have set the US retail price at $700 – $1,000, around £400 – £628.

With 10 days to go, will Apple finally reveal what many have been waiting for…
