“The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we’re really excited about,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.

Today is a big day for Apple and gadget lovers. Apple is going to hold a special event – Come see our latest creations on Jan. 27 at 10.00 AM (PST) at Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco. As mentioned in the press release of the first quarter financial result, there will be a major new product announced this week. This should be something really excited and very likely, it’s the long-rumored tablet device – iPad / iSlate / iTablet.

No matter how the new product is named, base on Apple’s track record, I believe it’s going to be a great product. Like me, you would like to attend the special event in person. However, this event is by invitation only. Or due to whatever reasons, you may not be able to show up in the event.
