Note that the sentence is not in plurial. So only one new product ?
Look at it this way.... Will Apple release an invite saying, Come look at our latest creation and our updated products....
Have faith! Lets hope they release or talk about iPhone 4.0
Fixed it for you.APPLE IS READY TO ASTOUND THE WORLD AGAIN...
We all know the whole IT universe is gonna be surprised, SJ; show us the tablet so that ALL others can try to copy it in no time.
This is a momentous time in Apple's history, as it will unveil SJ's fifth reinvention of the market:
1 - Apple //, the beginning of the mass-market personal computer;
2 - Mac, the best PC ever;
3 - iPod, the best media player ever;
4 - iPhone, the best feature phone ever;
5 - iBook/Tablet/Slate, the beginning of the tablet revolution and, at the same time, the end of Windows tablets, the stillborn ebook segment and any other lousy attempts at PDAs.
We should be thankful for such wonderful creativity, leading design, top-of-class build quality, unsurpassed user interface and incredible industrial foresight. Next week, HERE WE COME!
MS IS ABSOLUTELY DEAD (yeah right...). AND SO ARE ALL OTHER INFERIOR PC MAKERS.
Here's a name that I haven't seen tossed around for the tablet:
Canvas
The Apple announcement looks like an artist painting on a 'canvas', and artists are usually 'creating' things, so maybe extrapolating both it would be an interesting name? Anyone else agree?
If so, I wonder how I could lock myself in as the first one who suggested that 'Canvas' would be the name of the Apple tablet?
That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the invitation. Maybe the "iCanvas."
and so it goes...
has issued invitations for a media event scheduled on January 27th. The invitation's tag line reads "Come see our latest creation."
They could really play with us and call the thing .......the iNewton..... :^)

The "whole OS" is in Macs and iPhones, worry not.
And yes, I maintain that MS IS ABSOLUTELY DEAD. Economics 101 teaches you that market share means close to nothing if rentability is not there.
TABLET = FINAL NAIL IN THE MS COFFIN. Move along, MS fanboys...
I like the suggestions of the name; Canvas.. has a nice ring to it. adn does seem to fit with the invites 'theme' per se.
Im just glad that they actually announced a media event is going to happen.
I do think its quite funny that everybody has preempted apple on this tablet idea.. There are alot of rumours going around at the moment.. But still no guarantee. For all sony et al know apples going to release a different take on photoshopland.. unlikely- i know, but with apple there are no guarantees! which is precisely why i like them as much as i do! :-D

How about you'll do paintbrush work on the tablet by blowing on the touchscreen with your mouth?

He was talking about Apple, not Macrumors.
Apple quit live streaming events in 2003/2004. There's no point anymore really with Engadget, CNET, GDGT, TWiT Live, etc. all covering it.
How can a set of paint splatters be awful or beautiful? The only thing awful is the spacing between the tag line and the ower border of the image but this may be caused by someone making a screeenshot out of context.
Anyway, imho this tag line indicates we'll see a really new product not a new, updated version of a existing product. So I really do bellieve its going to be the tablet.

Umm... explain this one a tad bit further, Microsoft being dead?
This cracked me up!!!
Hola vecino!
Hi there neighbor!
Canvas is the best name I've heard so far. iSlate sounds awkward and Slate is too common for it to be trademarked as a single product.
Canvas... the drawing software by Deneba i used on my MAC for years and years... still available i think (not on Mac though).
I could have former day job flashblacks with that as the name...
Can't see them going with Canvas.....
ETA: More
