Apple has e-mailed selected media for an invitation-only event on January 27th. The invitation indicates that the event will begin at 10:00 AM and will be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco.

Through leaks, rumors, and wild speculation many expect Apple to announce their tablet, possibly called “iSlate.” The blogging and technology press has been jumping since December 24th when MacRumors announced that Apple owned the “iSlate” trademark and domain name.

UPDATE: Fox News has confirmed that the event will focus on the “tablet device, iPhone 4, and a new round of iLife 2010 software.”
