Since our original spotterizing of the Mystery of Scoggins, more details have popped up - but instead of revealing more they only seem to deepen the mystery, Lost-like (urgh).
IGN got a package in the mail yesterday. It originated from 'Scoggins, MN', and contained a lot of Pencil Erasers and an iPod Touch. The Touch seemed to be from the 'FBI Department of Puzzle Research' and contained the note:
"Mr. Hatfield (the name of the writer who received the package),
Something is wrong in Scoggins, MN.
Check your calendar."
So, an iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone puzzle game perhaps? Or maybe Telltale are just trying to throw us and they really are getting out of adventure games into the Eraser business due to marketplace realities or somesuch.
UPDATE: Kotaku have received their package. They've added a few new details the others left out, such as a video called 'The Hidden People' and that the iPod Touch contains digital versions of prints by Graham Annable. It seems that little red gnome that pops out when you click on the glowing window on the site is actually one of these 'Hidden People'. Interesting. Don't know what it means, but those prints are available to buy here.

I hope it's not an iPhone/iPod-exclusive!
Telltale aren't the sort of company to limit releases (for long) on any one platform.
I hope so, but Connors said something about games specifically conceived for the iPad. Check here:
