That touchable sensation: Apple sends invites for January 27 event

This, apparently. Engadget and The Loop are both reporting that they have their emailed invitations in hand for the January 27 introduction of... well, Apple's "latest creation." The invite has a spraypainted look, a time of 10 am Pacific and a place of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts -- and not much else.

Who's ready for something insanely great?

Note: As several folks have pointed out, there's another major public event on 1/27, in Washington. Reader Nicholas Lohr offered the bon mot that while the President will be delivering the State of the Union in the evening, Steve Jobs will be giving us the Slate of the Union in the morning. Ha!
