Save the date : Wednesday 27th January. Exactly one week from now, Apple is holding an event to launch or announce … something. Since Apple is not in Macworld this year, they didn’t have to rush things out so early in the year. So what will we see next week?

Is it going to be iPhone OS 4.0? Boy Genius reports that the new OS is probably imminent, and will bring some interesting new features:

* OS-wide multi-touch gestures.
* background applications / multitasking.
* Many graphical and UI changes
* new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.

Whether we’ll see a brand new iPhone, is another matter. For the past few years, we’ve seen new iPhone models in June, but who knows what Apple might do. We’ve seen rumours that the current 8GB iPhone 3G will be replaced with an iPhone 3GS model.

The biggest speculations, of course, centre around the Apple tablet. The iTablet, or iPad, or iSlate has almost the same hype level as we did before the original iPhone was announced.

This is going to be a long week!
