Happy new year everybody, and here’s an unexpected treat:

Previously I blogged about the rumored Apple tablet and how it may look.

A friend of mine (@thomasdavies) has just tweeted that Apple will announce new products on January 27th 2010 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

This could be where we get introduced to the Apple tablet amongst other products.

Other similar devises that have launched recently include the Joo Joo (previously the CrunchPad) – which costs around £300 ($500).

I predict the Apple tablet could cost in the range of £750-£1,000 ($1,200-$1,600).

I’ll keep you posted as the news unfolds, in the meantime – please subscribe to my new monthly e-mail newsletter which includes popular and guest posts, research and ebooks. (Link on the right).
