According to Los Angeles Times, Apple personnels and a New York Times team for the last few weeks have been collaborating and working on a new Tablet app. How true is that you ask? If you remember, previously we told you about Steve Jobs and co planning to give a rebirth to the newspaper, magazine and television industry, so this might be a step in that direction.

Apple has been slowly amassing digital reading material for the forthcoming device. A team from the New York Times has been working in Apple’s Cupertino, Calif., headquarters in recent weeks, developing a large-screen version of the newspaper’s iPhone application that incorporates video for the yet-to-be-unveiled device, according to one person with knowledge of the matter. A Times spokeswoman declined to comment.

If you follow Apple regularly and closely, you probably would be aware of the fact that the two are quite a love birds with Apple using the New York Times in many of its keynotes events for demonstration purposes. And the 27th January event might very well see the very same practice adopted by the Cupertinos.
