Apple Tablet Rumor! Merry Christmas

eBookNewser is starting your Christmas Eve-Day right with a good Apple Tablet rumor. According to The Financial Times, Apple has rented a stage at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in January.

Though, of course, Apple wouldn’t confirm, the company is supposedly making a big announcement on Tuesday, January 26. Hopefully, it’s not just a postage-stamp-size iPod shuffle–that thing is already ridiculous.

This is the same venue Apple used in September, when the company unveiled the rebooted Steve Jobs and the upgraded iPod Nano. Let’s all cross our fingers. This rumor is going on so long it’s almost a myth, or a legend.
