Unless you go cold turkey on the internet during your Christmas Holiday, then you know all about the building rumors about the Apple tablet, and possible upcoming event.  We thought since we took a quick break from posting during the Holiday that we would give you a simple rundown of what you missed.

• Apple is planning an event for late January, possibly the 26th to showcase some new products

• Silicone Alley Insider has reported that some developers are being asked to showcase large screen versions of apps.

• Jobs is supposedly very happy with the upcoming tablet and an upcoming surprise

• A new patent from Apple shows what is called “Keystroke tactility arrangement on a smooth touch surface”.  Possibly a way t interact on a tablet.

• iSlate.com was purchased by Apple in 2007.  Possibly the name of the new tablet?  We certainly hope not.

There you have it in condensed form.  Now we wait to see what is next in this fog of rumors.
