Apple Invites Us To Jan 27 Special Event, Think iSlate_

Invitation sent to Kotaku today: “Please join Apple on January 27 for a Special Event.” Assumption made by Kotaku today: iSlate reveal? Now, why would Kotaku be sent that? “Come see our latest creation,” the colorful invitation states. Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple’s long-rumored tablet computer, the iSlate (perhaps?) would be shown to the press and the world on January 27. Today’s invitation from Apple, e-mailed to Kotaku and numerous other outlets, suggests Apple does indeed have something big [[link]] to announce that day at a morning event in San Francisco.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: [[link]] "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/report-apples-game-playing-tablet-unveils-this-month-5439993 So… Kotaku, we do write about Apple, but [[link]] mostly in the context of video games. So if we’re going to leap to iSlate conclusions, let us also leap to gaming conclusions. iSlate Tower Defense anyone? iSlate R.U.S.E. (aka the real-time strategy game already planned for multi-touch screens) perhaps? https://kotaku.com/fingers-on-impressions-of-r-u-s-e-a-real-time-strateg-5426258 Or maybe Apple’s just announcing another phone. Or an iStapler.
