The New Creation That Apple Will Reveal on January 27th, 2010 Is…….

Don’t call it “iSlate” because that name is so un-Apple and was used by Apple’s own for misinformation. Apparently other companies are taking the bait by renaming their tablet PC as Slate.

According to an imaginary source who claimed to be a high ranking Apple Executive that is definitely not Tim Cook, this new Apple “creation” would have the following:

  • 6.75-inch x 8.72-inch dimension, thickness was not disclosed.
  • 6.375-inch x 8.345-inch screen size.

So far, that was all the info given by this all-made-up-mysterious-Apple-Executive who is definitely not Phil Schiller. Remember that the nimber given was not an accurate measurement of the device itself due to some rounding errors.

Anyway, Check back for some fake information about the fable Apple device that could be some kind of tablet-like computer.

Remember that Apple will be holding the “Come see our latest creation.” event on January 27th, 2010 at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco.
