Today is the day!  At 1:00 pm EST this afternoon, we’ll all know the truth about the worst kept secret in the tech world – what is the new Apple product?    The so-called Apple “Tablet” has caused quite a stir and nobody, except the people at Apple, know exactly what the product will be.  I’ve been trying to come up with another company that could create the same kind of buzz and excitement pre-launch.  So far, my list doesn’t exist.

Apple could have announced their new product at the Consumer Electronic Show, like most tech companies.  Instead, they wait until they have the stage to themselves and can control the event.  As someone who is new to the Apple fray having had my iPhone for only a few months, I hope the “Tablet” lives up to the hype.  This device is supposed to change the publishing, movie, TV and gaming industries.  I hope it’s true that the change will be for the positive.  I guess I’ll just have to wait until this afternoon like everyone else.
