As widely expected, Apple’s “latest creation” is a tablet device called… the iPad! Here’s the official press release, and some details from TiPb’s take:
It looks like a giant, wide, iPod touch with a gorgeous display and enough graphics power to throw around HD video and handle very slick UI elements without any hint of lag.

9to5mac points us to a GigaOm interview with computer and GUI pioneer Alan Kay that says:
“When the Mac first came out, Newsweek asked me what I [thought] of it. I said: Well, it’s the first personal computer worth criticizing. So at the end of the presentation, Steve came up to me and said: [...]
Today’s “Come see our latest creation event” almost assuredly sees Apple reveal their long in development, long anticipated iTablet/iSlate/iPad, and along with finding out the name so I never have to type that again, we should finally put to rest all the rumors, leaks, and fakes — for this first version at least!
