Apple Special Event - Feb 22nd - Airport Video? | TUAW

We've known Apple's planning a special media event for a week or so, but didn't know the precise date or what would be announced. On Flickr today, someone has posted up what claims to be an image used on the event invitation. It is quite clearly an Airport Express Base Station. Might this be the long-rumored update to the Airport Express to allow streaming video?

Thanks to everyone who submitted this tip.

Update: TUAW has no confirmation whatsoever that: 1) anything will be announced or released on Feb. 22nd, 2) that it will be an Airport Express, iPod, mystery-doodad, or 3) anything Apple-related at all will happen on Feb. 22nd. This link and date were submitted as a tip and is treated as a rumor. This post is even clearly classified in the rumor category. TUAW is not responsible for your level of disappointment or inability to reconcile reality with your expectations. Have a nice day.

Don't know if it's a fake or not, but if it IS a video-equipped airport, it should work great with iPod-ready movies from sites like 4Flix.Net! Now if only it was HD-ready...

I'm sorry, but isn't it just apparent that it's photoshopped? I know some people have already said this, but when I look at it, I can just tell.

I don't know what everyones moaning about, it's just a rumour thats been posted on TUAW for us to read. I don't remember TUAW saying they will only ever post FACTS. Some of you need to get out more.

I'm sorry, but TUAW has a responsibility. I can only guess you guys have quite a wide reader base, so you cannot post all the fakes going around, even poorly hidden behind some sort of lousy disclamer.
If you can't manage to sort the good info from the bad, you will lose readers.
Until today, I somewhat thought you were one the good side of the news...

The invite for the event where they launched the iPod with video was done ontop of old cinema curtains. Red ones if I recall correctly. That kind of gave it away.
