Color us (not) surprised, but Apple (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Apple/) is definitely launching a tablet (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/the-apple-tablet-a-complete-history-supposedly/) tomorrow. At least, according to the CEO of one of the planet's most noted book publishers. In a recent interview on CNBC, Mr. Terry McGraw (head honcho of McGraw-Hill, naturally), very openly admitted that books from his company would be coming to an Apple tablet "tomorrow," and he also confirmed that his company has "worked with Apple for quite awhile."

We're assuming an updated iPhone OS is also in the works, one that presumably support textbooks in the way that the mythical tablet might. Obviously we're not taking any of this as gospel until Stevie J confirms or denies it on stage tomorrow, but it's not too often you see a CEO blow this much pointed smoke. Peek the full quote after the break along with the interview clip.Continue reading McGraw-Hill's CEO confirms Apple Tablet, debuting tomorrow (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/mcgraw-hills-ceo-confirms-apple-tablet-debuting-tomorrow/)
