Apple Tablet Possible Announcement Next Month?

Browsing the internet this evening on the way home yielded some interesting findings that I thought I'd share with everyone.

Apple has reserved some space at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, which is where they normally make music and iPhone announcements.  The timing also falls between CES at the beginning of January and Mac World Expo which takes place in mid-February this year.  Apple is not planning to attend either event.

There are also reports that Apple has asked select iPhone/iPod Touch developers to prepare a "full screen" demo of their products by the end of next month.

Personally I think that Apple will take the wraps off something next month and that it will probably be a tablet computer of some sort.  This past year the expectations have grown so large that they would that if Apple were not to release some sort of tablet their stock would take a rather large hit.
