Aaron Zollo — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:08:36 +0000

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.

OtterBox now offers two options so BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone customers can choose the perfect case to fit their needs.”

The OtterBox Impact Series for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone speaks to those needing everyday protection. Cradling the smartphone in a single, slim-fit silicone layer, the Impact Series uses inner coring and a self-adhering screen protector to defend from impact, scuffs and scratches. A screen installation card and microfiber cleaning cloth are included.*

With a silicone layer and hard polycarbonate exterior, the OtterBox Commuter Series case for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone is a trusted safeguard for busy lifestyles. The exposed silicone corners dissipate impact away from the smartphone and protect against bump and shock. Dust and dirt are deflected by attached silicone plugs over all ports.
