FOXNews is reporting that the Apple Event on January 27th will focus on three projects: the Tablet, iPhone OS 4.0, and iLife 2010.

The “Come see our latest creation” event was just announced and takes place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10AM Pacific Time.

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.

Clues on Apple’s forthcoming tablet continue to surface as the device is expected to debut this month, with a new report referring to the device as an “iPhone on steroids.”

All Things D claims that Apple’s rumored media event will actually take place on Wednesday, January 27th rather than the 26th as originally rumored.

Sources in a position to know tell me Apple (AAPL) is indeed planning a media event later this month at which it will announce a major new product. The gathering is to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, a space Apple often uses for media events like these. According to other sources, it will occur on Wednesday Jan. 27, not Tuesday Jan. 26, as had been rumored.

Apple is, of course, rumored to be launching a new Tablet that may be called the iSlate.

Apple has placed mass orders for 10-inch displays as well as strong glass panels and connectors to go with them, according to two separate reports out of the Far East that peg the components for the company’s much-anticipated tablet device.
