Happy Australia Day everyone and a very depressing ‘Invasion Day’ to all of our Aboriginal readers. Today we also celebrate Republic Day in India, Liberation Day in Uganda, Feast Day for Saints Timonthy, Titas, Paul and Alberic and it is also the Third Day of the Sementivae in honour of Ceres and Terra…if the Roman Empire still existed of course.

Tablet…Apple may be releasing one at an event later this week. Here at MacTalk our spies not only already know what the tablet is going to look like but we also, exclusively, have the link to a public website that has a possible ad of the Tablet. So MacTalk community…real or fake….aaaand go!

With the Tablet only days away nerds like me are practically having heart palpitations. So when we see a report like this with Steve Jobs saying “It will be the most important thing I’ve ever done” you can imagine that we’re pretty excited to see it. Dude…you invented the friggin iPhone!

Our spies have also managed to steal Walt Mossberg’s review of the iSlate from his computer. He recorded it but it was under embargo until after Steve’s keynote.

We have so many spies that sometimes I forget their activation codewords (I think something about dogs and colours) but one of them acted proactively (yay for initiative) and sent us pictures of the Yerba Beuna centre being prepared for the Apple keynote.

For the last three weeks i’ve been posting TUAWs letters to Steve Jobs about how the iPhone software can be improved in 4.0. We all expect some kind of announcement at the event later this week and so here’s TUAWs latest piece on how to improve the phone that you love but can’t legally marry.

For all those that bought a Kindle Ars Technia weeps for you. Apparently because Apple’s Tablet is coming out soon that nifty e-Reader you bought just won’t cut it.

Steve Ballmer…love him or HATE him the man runs Microsoft. So what does he do when he gets a MacBook Pro to sign…the results are hilarious!

iPhone app developers are people too and that’s why when people steal their work it hurts them in a big way. However a few developers have found that they can still turn a profit through music linking. Pretty clever way to get past it all.
