Apple has today released media invites to a January 27 event to be held in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater, ending months of speculation about an upcoming event.

Instead, the rumour-mongers have now turned to what will be announced at the event – with Fox News reporter Clayton Morris claiming to have a source who has suggested we could see “the tablet device, iPhone 4, and a new round of iLife 2010 software”.

“I spoke to a source at Apple this morning, before the invite hit my inbox, who said the event would likely focus on three projects: The tablet device, iPhone 4, and a new round of iLife 2010 software. While we won’t see new iPhone hardware just yet, we will see the next-generation software,” he said.

The invites to the event, which have been sent to media organisations around the world via email, has the catch phrase “come see our latest creation” which features a white Apple logo on colored ’splashes’ – with one blog even suggesting that the iSlate could recognise what object has been placed on screen and allow you to “cut the logo out” using some sort of iPaint software.

Either way speculation on what will be announced will be rife for the next week and a half – you’ve been warned. We’ll have coverage of the announcement here from 6am AEDT (the event is at 10am PST).
