Apple to Announce its Tablet on January 27th, Device Shipping in March; Devs Playing with Beta SDK

Jan 6, 2010 Apple Tablet

John Paczkowski from All Things D claims that Apple will announce a major product on Wednesday, January 27th and not the 26th, as we last heard. Also, French site Mac4Ever mentions that developers were given a chance to play with the iPhone OS 4 SDK, that allows them to reformat and scale apps for bigger screens (translation: tablets).

We’ve heard the theory regarding the iPhone apps also coming to the iSlate/Apple tablet, so this piece of info can only strengthen the theory. Also, the Wall Street Journal went out and published a piece on a “new multimedia tablet device” that will be launched later this month and it’ll feature a 10 or 11 inch touchscreen.

Shipment is mentioned to be scheduled for March and the product is supposed to redefine the way consumers interact with all sorts of content. WSJ strikes again!
