For those that can’t wait until the iPad actually launches or gets a camera, pre-orders will begin tomorrow morning at 8:30ET (or 5:30am Pacific). Once those hours slip by, you can purchase your very own 9.7″ tablet from the Apple online store with ease.

That’s right. Take a long, good look at it. Colbert holding an iPad…today at the Grammies to announce the song of the year. Video below.

Apple event to show new iPhone OS, iLife, and tablet?

Apple recently sent out invitations for a mysterious January 27 announcement at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. Most people, including myself, assumed it was the Apple tablet.

However, that may not be all Apple has to deliver next Wednesday. Clayton Morris spoke with a source at Apple and said they may also have iPhone OS 4.0 to announce as a beta, iLife 2010 along with the tablet. That vaguely ties in with the “creativity” theme as shown by the invitation picture above and “come see our latest creation” caption below.

Meh, we’ll all know soon enough.

Apple sends invites for January 27 event

See that? That’s the invitation sent by Apple an hour ago to some in the press and for an event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco at 10AM. We can’t be there this time, but we’ll link to a liveblog for your reference the day before.

Most predict that it will finally be the launch of the rumored Apple tablet, but there’s a chance it might be 22″ touchscreen iMacs, or another iPhone – it’s all shrouded in mystery.

Update: Looking at this closer, the border looks kind of like a tablet, and the paint is not finger-painting, it’s spray-paint with an Apple logo at the center. It looks like it’s the back of the Apple tablet, which would be in several colors – meaning customizing it might be huge. Does that mean the end of jailbreaking?

Apple owns iSlate.com, iSlate.fr. Mystery continues.

This wouldn’t be headlines if you don’t think about it. Apple doesn’t have a product named “iSlate”. It just doesn’t exist. So why does Apple own it? They’ve owned iSlate.com and iSlate.co.uk since 2006 and iSlate.fr from the previous owners since 2007. However, according to TechCrunch, iSlate was trademarked by Slate Computing, who happens to provide the same type of stuff the iSlate is supposed to.

Typically you would think of a “slate” as a tablet, or pad. Apple tablet anyone?
