The Hype

Some dub it "The Jesus Tablet."

Others say that it is the one gadget to rule them all. The descriptions give a taste of the frenzied expectation that surrounds the launch of Apple's latest device, a touchscreen tablet computer that Steve Jobs will unveil tomorrow.

The tablet is expected to be a multipurpose multimedia device allowing users to watch films, play computer games and surf the web while on the move. Commentators think that it could also reshape the way that we read books, newspapers and watch television.

Little has been confirmed about the device, as Apple is notorious for keeping details of its products secret before launch. However, the company has done nothing to temper speculation, which is itself increasing pressure on the company to deliver something ground-breaking.
