From GamesIndustry.biz:

apple_tablet_fake EA is currently working on games for Apple’s upcoming tablet device, according to reports.

The publisher is said to have been enlisted by Apple to create games in order to show off the tablet’s gaming capabilities.

Apple has also embarked on discussions with book, newspaper and magazine publishers, according to the Wall Street Journal, talking to Conde Nast Publications and News Corp, among others, on how they can work together.

The iPhone creator’s next device is expected to be showcased to the media on January 27. An invitation ‘to see our latest creation’ was sent out on Monday, according to the WSJ.

Insiders have stated the device will have a 10-11 inch touch screen, and that its primary functions will be as an e-reader, internet browsing device and TV and games player.

  1. Well, the article is in reality a notable topic about the ipad. Although I dot agree with some minor points in general I?m fully on your way. I?m looking forward to your future stories. Just saying thanks for your De lightful work and writing is an important thing nowadays. Lets see what Steve Jobs will do in the next step. I will at once come back to stay abreast of any updates, and let us both learn what the ipad will achieve.

    Alot of bloggers are not too pleased with the new iPad.There was just too much hype regarding it and alot blogers got disapointed.You see, I for one see lots of the awesome potential of this gadget. Third-party apps for composing tunes, games, newspapers and magazines and books, all kinds of good stuff, but they failed to sell it right (excluding the books). It smells rather not finished
