Apple Preps Yerba Buena for Media Event

[MacRumors]

Apple has begun prepping the Yerba Buena Center for Arts and appears to be placing large banners on the side of the building to mimic the invitations sent out last week. A reader has sent in this photo of the Yerba Buena center being prepped for the event.

Apple's media event will take place on January 27th at 10 a.m. Pacific time where Apple is expected to unveil their latest "creation". Rumors have pegged the focus of the event to be a new tablet device from Apple.

How exciting.

I'm so glad I have two exams on thursday to keep me pre-occupied.

 

[Beric]

So Apple rents out the whole center 3 days before the event? Must be expensive.

As Kenny Loggins and the late Michael Jackson once said; "This Is It".

 

[MacGohil]

Shinny! Here it comes....
Lots of kool-aid, RDF and some shinny aluminum.

Are we all going to be disappointed when they reveal nothing more than an iPhone OS update?

Honestly, I don't think they wouldn't let the rumors get to such a fever pitch if they weren't going to release a tablet.

I would think it would be so funny if it was a Pro tools event .

Wish I Was There

Lots of hype on this one, but sure is exciting, wish I was there

Actually, the ONLY thing I want Apple to talk about is an iPhone OS update, hopefully available ASAP! The tablet is of no interest to me at this time.

i would laugh so hard if after so many rumors and news they release nothing but iphone os 4.0 LOL

 

[sam10685]

You know when this thing comes everyone will whine about some miniscule detail. As happened with the iphone and lots of other stuff.

The styling looks similar, but it doesn't look to be the exact same design! I hope they have another little clue by the time the entire thing is up

Yes, I compared the ink blobs. Yes, I have a life.

Don't think the stock market would like that very much.

"A big week of Apple announcements begins after the closing bell. The market's attention will be focused on the tech bellwether, which is expected to announce first-quarter earnings of $2.07 a share. Apple is also expected to unveil its much rumored tablet computer Wednesday. Its stock was rallying 2.9% higher to $203.50."

It won't happen that way.

Apple would have quashed all of these tablet rumors before they got to this level if there was not going to be a tablet introduction.

The hype feels exactly as it was prior to the first iPhone introduction.

Agreed! I see a little extra green & yellow.

Tablet?

What's this about a tablet? I'm really disappointed that I haven't heard about this earlier. I just wish I could hear speculation and rumors and various people's guesses about this "tablet" thingy.

 

[AppleInLVX]

I would think it would be so funny if it was a Pro tools event .

Well, Aperture X has been due for an inordinate amount of time now...

...where Apple is expected to unveil their latest "creation"....

Expected? This makes it sound like a possibility. Considering the invite says "Come see our latest creation", I believe it's a fact, not an expectation.
