Ok, this is somewhat unexpected.
But definitely not unwelcome.
Per GadgetMix, Kaifu Lee, the ex-president of Google China has dropped several hints regarding Apple’s upcoming tablet device on his microblog.
“The Apple Tablet looks like a bigger iPhone that sports an awesome UI packed in a beautiful 10.1-inch screen. The tablet combines the functions of both netbook and kindle, an ebook reader. It has virtual keyboard for text entry and a webcam for video conferencing.”
These details fall in line with recently reported features on the tablet. Earlier in December, analyst Yair Reiner of Oppenheimer predicted that the device would have a 10.1″ multi-touch display using the same technology as the iPhone. He also stated that Apple has been reaching out to book publishers in order to strengthen the position of the tablet as an ebook platform.
All signs currently point to Apple holding an event focusing on the “mobility space” on January 26 at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, where it is believed that the company will finally unveil the tablet to the world.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available and please let us know what you think.

This tablet needs both a vertural keyboard and pen input! I want to be able to jot notes down while in meeting or students in class. Much better and excepted In business and schools. Apple has worked on their inkwell tech for a long time. It can’t be just a bigger iPhone or I will just buy a netbook or mac air.
