Apple is causing a major stir with fans and shareholders as they booked the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on January 26, 2010. The rumored plans is that there will be a “major product announcement”. Many hope that the product announcement will cover the rumor of an Apple tablet. Apple has never confirmed the existence of a device but there could also be new version of any of their products announced as well.

While there aren’t any confirmations as to what is going to be announced, Apple stock reached an all-time high on Thursday.

“Investors are excited about an anticipated release of an Apple tablet,” said William Lefkowitz, options strategist at brokerage firm vFinance Investments in New York.

“People are expecting this to be a product that would allow Apple to continue its tremendous growth. In addition, Apple stock hit a new high today and looks very strong on a technical basis,” he said.

Analysts are stating that there is a 50% chance of an announcement for the tablet with a shipping date by the end of March.

Other Apple news is that there is a planned subscription service that may offer television shows from major networks for a monthly fee.
