So Microsoft has this mystery press conference going on today. We have no idea what it’s actually about. But, we now know what it may be about.

TechCrunch is convinced that today we’ll see the announcement of a tablet made by both Barnes & Noble and Microsoft and will feature Xbox Live video streaming.

Whether the tablet will feature Windows 8 reminds to be seen, but a NOOK that features Xbox Live could be an interesting development.
We’ll find out for sure tonight at 6:30 EDT/3:30 PDT.

UPDATE: Nope! Barnes & Noble isn’t a part of this announcement.
