After years of speculation, Apple Inc. is expected to launch its much anticipated computer tablet Wednesday.

Apple's newest gadget will allow users to watch movies, play computer games, and surf the Web - all on a large touch screen tablet.

In fact, Apple CEO Steve Jobs has reportedly said the new laptop is the most important thing he has ever done.

Some say the new tablet could reinvent publishing, claiming it will do for newspapers and magazines what the iPod did for music.

The new notebook is being dubbed "the iPhone on steroids."

Devoted Apple followers even say Wednesday's unveiling of the new computer is the best and worst kept secret in computer history.
