Apple 'planning January tablet launch'

Long-awaited device rumoured to be revealed in the new year
Apple is said to be planning a launch event for its tablet on January 19th, following a lukewarm response to the firm’s holiday line-up.
Many Apple fans were disappointed in September when the firm announced its redesigned iPods and a new version of iTunes, with no mention of the long-awaited touchscreen tablet.
“Apparently Apple has pencilled in an event for the [San Francisco] Moscone Center on January 19th 2010, but is yet to be confirmed,” Robert Peckham wrote in a blog for PCR. “Apple has traditionally launched significant products in January – both the MacBook Air and AppleTV were launched in January 2008.”
According to Peckham, rumoured names for the device include iPad, MacPad and Macbook Touch.
