I kind of wonder how they are going to tie Ebooks into the existing Iphone based UI/OS. Atleast its implied the tablet will be running a version of the Iphone OS. This part has me sad. I was really hoping the tablet would be running leopard as I was considering it. Maybe they are jazzing up the Iphone OS/UI?

I have been holding off on a new phone to see if apple was realising a new UI/OS for its Iphone or to see if a new carrier was comming. Hoping this is also announced tomorrow. Funny I am a windows mobile guy, but I am excited about tomorrow. I do still use my wifes old titanium book for making movies and screwing around.

I'm very geeked. there's been so many rumors it's hard to say what's likely and what's not.

I heard that a Verizon Iphone was going to be announced. Then I heard that the tablet would be announced, that it would have 3G connectivity and that Verizon would be the carrier. And on and on and on.

I highly doubt that both of these are true, if the Tablet has 3G connectivity and the provider is Verizon, I don't think we'll see a Verizon Iphone announced as well. But you never know. I did hear that a 4.0 version of the iphone OS is being announced though, that is supposed to be a definite. So who knows what OS the tablet will run.

I saw a different version of that interview with McGraw Hill as well, where he was saying that the tablet will run the iphone OS and that all of the iphone apps will be transferrable to it. I don't know how this would work, if the apps were developed for a screen the size of the Iphone wouldn't they look awful on a much larger screen?

Vic, I read a couple pages on that. One, the current apps can run in their current format as kind of "sticky notes" on the tablet desktop. The can cascabe or be slid around and place, with multiple apps open at once.
The OS 4.0 rollup is supposed to add this functionality, among a number of other things.
The tablet will just let us use most of the updates.
Or so they say...
The announcement is at 1:00 EST, I wish I could watch it live.
Anyone know how to see that?
