Our live coverage of the Apple 'latest creation' event starts Wednesday, January 27th

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Apple is supposedly set to introduce a tablet device (AKA the Apple Tablet, iSlate, etc.) at its latest event that will change the lives of every man, woman, and child on the planet. Sure, it could just be a fresh version of iLife and an 8GB iPhone 3GS, but we kinda doubt that. If you know what's best for you, you'll tune in for our minute-by-minute, live coverage of the event. There won't be a better seat in the house... well, except for wherever Steve Jobs is sitting.

The show gets going on Wednesday, January 27th at 10AM PT.

@micky1234 I didn't give it much thought and was assuming the announcement was late wed for Melbourne. Now I gotta wait til Thurs! hehe. thanks for doing the math!

I never found the answer for this question:

Why are there many people talking bad about Apple in every post about it?

I mean look at this example, it's a live coverage of an Apple-centric even and there are people here claiming that Apple sucks and are not worth their attention... What are they doing here then?

@EduBrazil

I don't know but I like it. I think there are a nice mix of pro-Apple and non-Apple fans which results in some nice back and forth. Everywhere else its just pro-Apple people and that's just boring. Part of the reason I love Engadget.

WHY? WHY?!? Must you leave out the Friggin Alaska timezone EVERYTIME??? IF your gonna list all the timezones, list Alaska too! IT's real easy, it's the One BETWEEN Hawaii and Pacific! There are geeks in Alaska also!

[Virus Cannon Posted Jan 26th 2010 12:51AM]

Here is my prediction: Its not a Tablet, its an Apple TV. An actual tv this time. Something that the whole family can use? A tv, with internet access, apps, games, etc. The family can go online together making the internet a group experience. It also doubles as a giant canvas which is the reason for the paint splashes.

Its larger than 10 inches, it's not a mobile device and it doesn't need a carrier since it runs on home wifi.

The deals with publishing companies and newspapers will be to read on a big screen, so groups of people can read books and newspapers together (like watching television).

It'll also run games on a large screen so it'll be a threat to the console games. TIVO will also be threatened since it can record all tv shows and lets you mix up your favorites so you're in essence creating your own programming.

There's also be a homemade Apple VoIP program so you can have the whole Star Trek viewscreen experience making calls.

The remote will be the iPhone. (SYNERGY!!!!)

Strangely, since this morning I have this locker-scene from men in black in my head where those little guys scream "WAIT! The tablet, the tablet, the tablet, the tablet.........."

[kernel Posted Jan 26th 2010 5:02AM]

So in Australia (AEST) this will be happening at 4:30am on Thursday? I can't miss out =P

[Vla23 Posted Jan 26th 2010 7:12AM]

Hi,
nobody would video stream this event live? Maybe using Qik on iPhone???

[jimaiwr Posted Jan 26th 2010 9:33AM]

Hurm..
@virus cannon
either that was the most COMPLETE BULLSHEET I've heard,
or you are leaking apple's every detail on the device.
maybe. Just maybe.

[brettnem Posted Jan 26th 2010 12:20PM]

@Engadget: Where's a fancy count down timer?

[jmachol Posted Jan 26th 2010 1:29PM]

Is it just me or was this thing supposed to being 27 minutes ago? : /

[jmachol Posted Jan 26th 2010 1:30PM]

@jmachol I just realized that today is the 26th. :]

[Tidal Posted Jan 26th 2010 1:32PM]

@jmachol Yeah... me too... oops :3

[Tidal Posted Jan 26th 2010 1:32PM]

I thought live coverage was supposed to start 32 minutes ago, what's going on Engadget?

[Jeza Posted Jan 26th 2010 1:39PM]

OMG can't wait and so don't disspoint me apple

[moscalexey Posted Jan 26th 2010 2:10PM]

I in Moscow will be home after work at 9 PM, and will relax following the coverage. Today I visited the first Apple Store in Russia, Moscow. It looked nice. I will own an Apple Computer some day, just to know how it feels to have one.

[Methoxychlor Posted Jan 26th 2010 8:11PM]

I like how Engadget's "Most Commented Stories" right now are apple, apple, apple, and apple.

[Tony99 Posted Jan 27th 2010 11:02AM]

Is this suppost to be the same as the islate?

[rocoyo Posted Jan 27th 2010 11:58AM]
