Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you are probably well aware that tomorrow, Wednesday January 27th, Apple is hosting one of its infamous "Events" and the centerpiece will be a tablet-like iDevice which was, coincidentally, just "confirmed" by the CEO of publisher McGraw-Hill on CNBC minutes before this post was sent to the presses.The big questions are, what will it be like? What sort of tech specs will be under the hood? Based on years of following the Tablet's development through our sources in Cupertino and backed up by grapevine consensus, here's what we're expecting at the heart of tomorrow's announcements.
