Hype about the Apple tablet has been, to put it mildly, absolutely rampant. Tech blogs and media websites have been speculating and drooling over this announcement for weeks.

The New York Times thinks it’ll even save journalism. And all this without even seeing the thing! Jobs will be making his announcement at 10am PT (1pm here). We’ll be posting with more information after the announcement, but if you’re as geeky as we are, you’ll also want to follow the Gizmodo liveblog.
