Apple has gone and made it official — “Come see our latest creation” and it’s on for January 27, 2010.
iTablet, iPhone 4.0, iPhone HD… or something completely different like iLife ‘10? Any guesses as to what we’ll see?

Official: Apple Event Jan. 27 — “Come see our latest creation”
Ars made some waves in the iTablet rumor pool this morning, taking a look and determining that a 10″ OLED (organic light emitting diode) or AMOLED (active matrix light emitting diode). Basically, only Samsung and LG are equipped to make the panel, and According to Barry Young, Managing Director of the OLED Association:
“On the Samsung configuration they could produce about fourteen 10.1-inch panels per substrate,” he told Ars. “With a 70 percent yield, if all their capacity was dedicated to 10.1-inch, they could produce about 150,000 per month. Given that Samsung cannot meet its current order backlog, they are unlikely to build that many 10.1-inch displays.”
“LG has 10 to 15 percent of Samsung’s capacity,” Young said.
So that means 1) Apple wouldn’t be able to make very many 10″ OLED/AMOLED iTablets and 2) the ones they did make would be very expensive.
Another complication? If Apple switches to OLED/AMOLED for the 4th generation iPhone (like the display on the new Google Android Nexus One), that would mean an even greater constrains on the supply for any iTablet use.
All things considered, given the costs and constraints, I’d rather of OLED on my iPhone. What about you?

China, like France and Korea wants in on the larger screen iRumors, and is certainly willing to raised the stakes — in addition to a 9.7″ iTablet, Commercial Times is also saying Apple plans a 22″ multi-touch iMac.
Apple will outsource production of the 22-inch model to Quanta, with Taiwan-based Sintek Photronic supplying the touchscreen panels
There have been touch-enabled Windows displays for a while. The thrill of the interactivity, however, has been tempered by the simple fact that it’s tiring to hold your arms up and gesture a lot on a giant display. This is presumably why Apple has so far integrated multi-touch into their MacBook trackpads rather than their screens, and into the Magic Mouse rather than into the iMac display (don’t get us started on why they haven’t simply offered an iMac trackpad peripheral or better yet — a Magic Mouse app for the iPhone!)
It’s hard enough imagining a consistently comfortable usage paradigm for an iTablet (how do you hold it to type, to watch a long movie, to read a long novel, etc.), harder still to riddle it out for an iMac display — unless Apple plans for it to be an occasional-use method, a bonus for of interactivity.
Of course, Apple hasn’t announced any of this yet, but speculating about rumors is fun, especially when it involves technology from the iPhone, that could expand or be returned to the 4th gen iPhone. So let us know what you think.

China Times: Apple Planning 9.7″ iTablet, 22″ Multi-touch iMac
The iPhone more than the sum of its many parts, but when the part in question is the touch-screen itself, and workers at the manufacturer’s Suzhou, China facility go on strike, we have to wonder what that will do for supplies in the medium term?
More than 2,000 workers gathered and damaged facilities and vehicles after rumors that the factory may not pay a planned bonus for 2009, the [21st Century Business Herald] said, citing the statement. The plant belongs to Taiwan-based Wintek Corp., the world’s biggest touch-screen maker for mobile phones.
Wintek is a name we’ve also heard in conjunction with rumored iTablet and iPhone HD panels, so what if any impact this has availability for both existing potential future devices is hard to assess.

If in previous years you found yourself thinking Otterbox’s tank-style Defender was too much armor, and their Impact just not quite tank-like enough, at CES 2010 they showed TiPb a middle-ground that some of you might find just right — the Commuter series.
In both regular and TL (translucent, a reference to the clear strip across the back) versions, they’re aiming it squarely at the urban warrior who wants as much protection as possible while still maintaining a slim, pocketable profile.
Check it out on video, after the break!

Do you have dreams of being the next Spielberg but the only video camera you own is your trusty iPhone 3GS? If this is the case you can now rest easy as Tiffen recently introduced the Smoothee Steadicam. The Smoothee utilizes a counterweight construction in the same fashion all other professional models work, just expect this to be a whole lot cheaper.
This accessory is not going to fit in your pocket or purse but we are positive some of our creative readers could put it to good use. No release date or price are available at the moment but you can see it in action after the break!

Tiffen Introduces Smoothee Steadicam for iPhone 3GS
At CES 2010, Cocoon Innovations went from dipping a toe into iPhone waters with their new, windowed, messenger-style netbook bag to diving straight in with the secret-in-the-turtleshell Fastback cases.
The netbook case has a transparent pocket to showoff your iPhone or iPod touch, and inside features their really interesting looking Grid-It organizer, which can also safely and snuggly stow your iPhone or iPod inside.
The Fastback is an iPhone case that opens in the back to reveal an ample amount of storage for a headset, cards, etc.
