Everyone has been climbing over themselves with predictions about the upcoming Apple event on January 27. The smart money is on Apple announcing the mythical "iTablet" or "iSlate." This new device will be a larger version of the popular iPhone and iPod Touch. It will be a direct competitor with Amazon's Kindle in the eBook space, revive the newspaper and magazine industry, and replace the laptop as the "second screen" on desktops across the land.

The RainyDayInterns have been working quietly behind the scenes for the past eight months, infiltrating every possible source (OEM, ATM, etc...), but have uncovered nothing...until yesterday. A box showed up at the office that changed everything. We think the PR company working with Apple were supposed to send it back to them, but sent it to us by mistake. All the leaks regarding the "Apple Tablet" are just red herrings. Yes, Apple did develop a tablet, but they did it to throw everyone off the scent of a device called the iPatch.

The iPatch appears to be a wearable display for the iPhone and iPod Touch. According to the enclosed documentation, the iPatch can do everything the touchscreen can do, but in the blink of an eye.

We are now moving to an undisclosed locaton, so as to avoid being harassed by Apple's legal eagles. We'll post more when we manage to sequester ourselves at one of our safe houses. That is all for now. [Permalink] -Apple iPatch FirstLook
