It's Christmas Eve for Gadget Geeks

After months of rumors & speculation, the big day is just a few hours away. At a press conference tomorrow, Steve Jobs & Co. are set to unveil what they are calling a "major new product," and what some patent-research/conspiracy nuts are calling the iSlate or iPad. Some super-ambitious headlines are already proclaiming the tablet to be the savior the publishing industry has been desperately seeking. We'll reserve our expectations, but we definitely can't wait get our hands on one.

And we're just as excited about tomorrow's potential "oh-by-the-way" announcement of the rumored June/July release of the iPhone 4G which may be available on Verizon (fingers crossed).
