FOXNews has spoken to a source inside Apple who confirmed a “big” event for January.

While nothing official has been handed down from the notoriously tight-lipped company, my source took the Financial Times report one step further by saying this event will focus on the mobility space, meaning we’ll see something related to the iPhone/Touch product line.

Analysts and the rumor mill strongly believe Apple will soon launch the must anticipated tablet at this event. The tablet is rumored to be termed the iSlate. The company has rented a stage at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and a keynote is due on January 26th.

Meanwhile, John Gruber from Daring Fireball has posted with his thoughts on the much rumored Apple Tablet.

Here’s the thimbleful of information I have heard regarding The Tablet (none of which has changed in six months): The Tablet project is real, it has you-know-who’s considerable undivided attention, and everyone working on it has dropped off the map. I don’t know anyone who works at Apple who doubts these things; nor do I know anyone at Apple who knows a whit more. I don’t know anyone who’s seen the hardware or the software, nor even anyone who knows someone else who has seen the hardware or software.

The cone of silence surrounding the project is, so far as I can tell, complete.

Gruber continues to hypothesis about what the tablet will do, where it fits in the Apple product line, and what operating system it will run.
