10 A.M. PT, Wednesday, January 27, 2010. That's when Steve Jobs (or Phil Schiller) will step onstage and (probably) announce the Apple Tablet. But you, you should tune in early, because our liveblog is going to start first thing.

We'll have our usual pre-game countdown, with observations of the line, celebrity look-a-like sightings, angry rants about how cold it's going to be in SF, and photos of what people are wearing. Us? A tasteful Target and Walmart ensemble, naturally.

And if you're a developer, work in the industry or are a member of the press that will be at the event tomorrow, email Brian Lam (his email's in the masthead on the left <—) for info on a meetup tomorrow night. [Liveblog]
