With all the hype surrounding Apple’s latest announcement, you may have forgotten that the State of the Union address is next Wednesday night. What better way to celebrate both events than by watching the President on your iPhone!

This White House app streams live video content to your iPhone, beginning with the State of the Union next week. Other than that, it’s pretty much a dressed up version of whitehouse.gov, replete with pictures and news feeds about everything related to the executive branch. Topic of the moment? Haiti, of course.

Which are you more excited about? Hearing more about unemployment or dreaming of owning that Apple tablet?

It looks like the rumor mill was right this time. Apple is holding an event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco on January 27th to unveil, as the invitation put things, to unveil it’s “latest creation.” The event begins at 10AM Pacific.

Obviously, I’m thinking tablet. A new iPhone wouldn’t be announced until June and what else could it be? A new Apple TV? Engadget also points out that the bright colors could point toward an art/media focused device, especially when paired with the word “creation.” That’s almost definitely a focus of any tablet, so it’s really just up to the power of the device to determine what all can be done on it.

Whatever it is, we’ll find out the morning of the 27th.
