There were rumors about an Apple event in January 2010, but it seems that the event has now been confirmed. FOXNews.com claims a “source inside Apple” has given confirmation that the company will be holding a media event on January 26th in San Francisco. The event will focus on the “mobility space”, the source says.
“Following a Financial Times report that Apple has scheduled a special media event for January 26th in San Francisco, I’ve spoken to a source inside Apple who confirmed a “big” event for January.”
“While nothing official has been handed down from the notoriously tight-lipped company, my source took the Financial Times report one step further by saying this event will focus on the mobility space, meaning we’ll see something related to the iPhone/Touch product line.”
In other news, former Google China president Kai-Fu Lee reveals some information about the Apple Tablet on his microblog on sim.com.cn. The device will have a 10,1 inch multitouch screen and an “awesome user interface”. The tablet will combine features of a netbook and a Kindle.
There will be a virtual keyboard for text input and a webcam for video chats. Apple plans to produce 10 million devices next year. Kai-Fu Lee has worked with Apple before and has close links with Foxconn. Foxconn is a large producer of Apple products. The details revealed by Lee are the same details previously leaked. The 10,1 inch screen, Apple contacting book publishers, the virtual keyboard with tactile feedback and the fact that the Tablet looks like a big iPhone are all details we’ve heard before.
