Web entrepreneur and CEO of Mahalo, Jason Calacanis, has released some interesting details about Apple's tablet computer via Twitter, possibly scuppering some of Steve Jobs' surprises for the official launch in San Francisco at 6pm GMT this evening.

Calacanis said on his Twitter account, that he has had an Apple tablet for ten days already and that: "For background: apple asked me to do press tomorrow on cnbc, cnn, etc."

  • It's "the most amazing device ever"
  • It's "really amazing for newspapers"
  • Video conferencing is "super stable"
  • Battery life is "great" when it comes to reading ebooks but not so great (2-3 hours) in Wi-Fi mode or when playing games
  • Tailor-made games are "sick", on Wii level
  • The customised Farmville app (which Jobs is going to demo tomorrow with the CEO of the company behind it) is "insane"
  • The tablet will be offered by Verizon and ATT
  • It will cost $599, $699 or $799, depending on the screen size and internal memory

Calacanis could not reveal the name or show any pictures of the new Apple device. You can follow Jason on Twitter to keep up with whatever else he knows at twitter.com/Jason
