Will Apple’s January 27th Event Be A “Big Three-veal?”

Engadget is hinting that Apple's big January 27th Frisco media event won't just be to unveil an iTablet.  Oh, no — there will also be the announcement of iPhone OS 4.0.  BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!  We may even see a new version of iLife the same day.

Again: this is all hearsay at the moment.  But when you mull it over, it kinda makes sense: Apple's products have always appealed to the fun/creative side of the brain, rather than the business/pragmatic side that MS/IBM/Wintel courted.  And this sort of triple-header of hardware, software, and OS has the added attraction of a unified package that, in theory (to quote the old Macintosh tagline), just works, right out of the box.
