Apple’s iSlate rollout: Stay tuned to CR for all the news

It's been touted as an e-book reader, a gaming platform, a tablet computer with an iPhone-like apps store, a phone, a camera—you name it. The device Apple is introducing tomorrow just might be all of the above—or something else altogether. There have certainly been enough rumors and speculation about it.

Whatever it is and called, my colleague Jeff Fox and I will be on location at its launch event in San Francisco, bringing you the news as it unfolds. Check the blog here often, and follow Jeff's Twitter posts at @JeffreyFox, plus at @CReporter, where we'll be leading discussions among Consumer Reports Twitter followers. We'll also share photos and videos as we capture them throughout the event and after. Mike Gikas, our phone reporter, and Paul Reynolds, our e-book reader expert, will also weigh in with their analyses of Apple's announcements as they happen.

The fun starts tomorrow at 10 a.m. PST (1 p.m. EST). But check back today, too, for our updates and insights as the launch draws closer.
