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.

 

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

  Who would have thought that after all the years of Microsoft Office that it would be banned from sale due to patent infringement.  After a ruling back in May for the same issue, Microsoft appealed and this time lost.  The infringement i for Word’s handling of .xml, .docx, and .docm files of which infringed upon i4i’s patented XML handling algorithms.  Since Microoft was found guilty of infringement, Office and Word are banned from sale after January 11th, 2010.  It’s still unclear if they will just pay the company and continue use, but for now Microsoft is preparing versions of Office 2007 without the XML features it infringes upon.  

 

Imagine a world without Word and Office.  What we use, Open Office, Google Docs or perhaps iWork?  Either way we are sure this is not the end of MS Office as it bring Microsoft a bit too much cash flow for them to just set it aside.
