Apple has confirmed the much anticipated event on January 27 2010 by sending invitations to select media.
It has been rumored for a very long time that Apple will reveal a tablet device named “iSlate”. The invitation gives no hint of the product however except for the tag line “come and see our latest creation”.
Stay tuned for more information!

Whilst the rumor mill is working hard around the Apple tablet device, Microsoft has been working hard on one of their own.
At the moment it’s called the ‘Courier’ and is in the “late prototype” stage. The device itself features dual 7-inch screens which are multitouch, perfect for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus and your fingers.

Originally the device was top secret which was only known to a few engineers and executives.
They are currectly collaborating with another firm called Pioneer Studios, who have put together the video. This demo gives a look around the device and what it can do.
The heritage of Microsft revolves around very much with “digital ink” and this interface is unlike anything else. Ideas from both the Surface and Zune HD can be seen.
