So glad I'll be in the office and not with a client on Wed. **** is going to go down and I'll be one of the millions here on macrumors hanging on every update.

I just bought a new iMac, replacing my iMac from 5 years ago. I'm absolutely astonished by the quality of the user experience in Snow Leopard. And the physical beauty of the computer itself. Using all these gestures on the magic mouse has me enraptured at the thought of breaking the mouse/screen divide and interacting directly with the OS.

Sure, it will be similar to the iPhone - but I think expanding the paradigm introduced with that device (app store, APIs, streamlined content and near infinite software possibilities) to larger, more desktop like formats is going to be an outstanding move forward. If that's in fact what Steve has planned, I can't wait.
 
I got a feeling that the color choices for the new Apple tablet will be just like the iPod Nano’s and be the same aluminum too.

Trust me, I know a guy.
 
Yerba Buena Center at 11 AM PT

I passed over there at 11 AM PT, when they started working. There were many people holding blue badges that just say "January 27, 2010" I guess they are all contractors.

I took a couple of pictures, though no much to see at that time.

the hype on this is unreal. The anticipation of this event overshadowed CES. Apple is pretty much expected to create a brand new market for a brand new product and tell us why we won't be able to live without it.

As it stands, I don't think many people know why they want this product, but they're hoping apple is able to deliver them the reason.

pretty crazy stuff, but i'm excited to see what wednesday brings.
 
Well I guess my iMac fund is going to take a beating come Wednesday, look like Im destined never to get one.
 
Mac tablet

Hey did anyone ever think that the tablet like the poster(invite) will come in 5+ different colors like the nano?

Respond
 
Seems like this whole "color" theme they're going with means that this is going to be nothing more than a color Kindle that can also use iPhone apps.
 
Lots of hype on this one, but sure is exciting, wish I was there

It's a shame they've elected to make this announcement within two weeks of MWSF but didn't feel it could be part of that meeting. If they had, they would have attracted the same reporters, but several thousand fans could been there, too. That would have been a nice nod to some of the company's most loyal customers. Not doing so seems like dissing...
 
I doubt that. If it's unavailable within the next few days, at most I would expect it to be released by March/April.
 
i would laugh so hard if after so many rumors and news they release nothing but iphone os 4.0 LOL

I'd laugh harder if Steve Said:

Steve "Ya wunna Tablet?"
Crowd "YAAAA! WOOOOH!!!" <let it simmer for 6 minutes
Steve "Well, sorry, we just have John Mayer and a new ad, now leave."
 
the hype on this is unreal. The anticipation of this event overshadowed CES.

Microsoft couldn't generate this much excitement if Steve Ballmer monkey danced nude on the stage while they released snakes in the auditorium.
