Just a reminder that on January 27th, 2010 Apple will once again change the world-as-we-know-it forever! Or at least so says the rumor mill.

Given the flood of tablet reports from virtual every source imaginable, and the total lack of effort on Apple’s part to contradict them in any way despite the fact that at this point not announcing a tablet on the 27th would probably put a major financial hit on their stock price, it seems a safe bet that Apple will announce some sort of tablet on Wednesday. Maybe. Unless they don’t. It might be called the iSlate, iBook or Canvas. Or it might not.

Details about what is and isn’t announced will be posted on this site. In the meantime here are some random links that might or might not prepare you:
