Apple Confirms Special Event on September 9
There you have it people - a week from today Apple will be holding a special event tagged with “Let’s Rock”. The assumption of course, is that several of the rumors that have been floating around will be addressed. Specifically, the fourth generation of the iPod nano is expected to be revealed along will a slightly revised iPod Touch, new iPod Touch software and a pricing revision that will likely affect several iPod models. We would also venture a guess that a few other rumors will be confirmed at the event, including the possible announcement and subsequent release of iTunes 8.0. As for the rest of the rumors (OS X, MacBook, MacBook Pro), this seems like it will be a fairly focused event so we’ll likely have to wait a bit longer for confirmation on those. In case you didn’t get an invite and you feel like trying to crash, the shindig will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and it’s scheduled for liftoff at 10:00 am PST.

i believe that this will be a cool PR shindig for apple, but truth be told, i am not seeing very much innovation from apple as of late so it’s hard for me to get excited. i mean, they’re just repackaging what’s already out there but in a nicer-looking and shinier product. am i not wrong? please tell me i’m wrong!

@ Siam.. they are less innovative as opposed to who?

@Siam - Really? Who came out with multi-touch (to the extent of the iPhone) first? Who has Professional grade laptops that are 1″ thin. My 2yr old 17″ wide Macbook Pro is 1″ thin.
Who came out with Privacy mode for a web browser first?
Who made a successful regular-user alternative to MS Windows platform built on OpenBSD first?
Who has the #1 music selling service who also produces there own DAP that is also #1?
How about “Coverflow” on the iPhone? Did another phone have that?
I could go on for hours. Innovation and taking it a step further has been Apples strategy since Steve Jobs came back to Apple.

I heard Apple will be revealing the CDMA iphone

I doubt there’ll be a CDMA iPhone… I suppose even if there was it’d only go to like India or Canada, but not the US (and Verizon’s policies for accepting phones not their own is so difficult as to essentially be “no”.)

@Galvatron, If Mad Mike is drinking Koolaid then you’re drinking Haterade. Illiterate Gatorade that is, every time you post it blows me away. Whether Mike loves Apple or not he is right, so get over yourself, if you don’t like it, DON’T READ THE APPLE POSTS.

I really hope they announce support for Nike+iPhone. I have an iphone and the shoes and i am an avid runner. I know its a longshot but i would love the support for it. If the new ipod nano is compelling enough, i may just bite the bullet and buy one but the odds are it wont be. I guess ill just have to wait and see.
