You know it’s coming tomorrow and you know you want it. Or maybe you hate it but you’d still want to play with one just to prove yourself that you really hate the concept. The Apple tablet is going to be announced tomorrow at 10AM PST and we’ll tell you all about it, or better said we’ll be probably confirming most of the tablet-based rumors we showed you here on TFTS during these last few months. Hopefully Apple has enough tablet-related aces up its sleeve to still surprise us tomorrow.

The fact that Apple will launch the tablet tomorrow is more than clear. As I said earlier the company simply can’t afford not to launch it after all the buzz that it has generated around the new product. But today we have clear, undeniable confirmation of the tablet. It all happened on TV and the person confirming it happens to be one of Apple’s future partners.

McGraw-Hill is a company that’s going to provide content for the tablet. And its CEO in an interview with CNBC said this all of a sudden when asked about the tablet:

Yeah, Very exciting. Yes, they’ll make their announcement tomorrow on this one. We have worked with Apple for quite a while. And the Tablet is going to be based on the iPhone operating system and so it will be transferable. So what you are going to be able to do now is we have a consortium of e-books. And we have 95% of all our materials that are in e-book format. So now with the tablet you’re going to open up the higher education market, the professional market. The tablet is going to be just really terrific.

You’d think a CEO can control himself on TV and not simply reveal everything that easily. Well, luckily for us the existence of the tablet has been really confirmed. And this time around Orange’s PR team is not around to pick up the pieces and make everything go away.
