Filed under: Rumors, Other Events
We heard a rumor not long ago, and today Engadget confirms the date: Apple will hold a special press event on Sept. 5th. The invitation they received (where's ours, Apple?!?) looks like coverflow as displayed by an iPhone. Hmmm...To find out what version of Mac OS you are running, go to the Apple logo in the top left corner, click it and choose About This Mac. From that window you will see the version number, processor, memory and chosen startup disk. Clicking Software Update will check for updates, and More Info... will open up an extensive list of everything on your machine.

I'm guessing they are going to show a new upgrade to Aperture.

An iPod is shown, and it's referring to music. I think obviously these are the new iPods, probably among other things.

"The Beat Goes On" clearly refers to Sonny and Cher, who will now be on iTunes.
Anybody, anybody? I didn't think so.
Anyhow, I find it amusing how these announcements bring out the worst of the fanboy/antifanboy arguments on the tech blog sites. People don't know how to ignore it without spouting off, and then others get hostile. It's a bad cycle, unfortunately.
My hope is for multitouch iPods, 120GB, and please god no recessed headphone jack. If it has these features, I'd buy one that day, guaranteed.
Another thing that I want (that is more unrealistic) is for Apple to host a database of high resolution album art, even for artists that iTunes does NOT have (The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc etc). I have a lot of searching to do if a cover flow iPod does come out.

The forthcoming Madonna single is also called 'The Beat Goes On'.
Coincidence or something more sinister. You be the judge!

LOL @ CuriousOrange
Maybe its a pink "Madonna" edition iPod that speaks to you in an English accent.

While there seems to be no basis in even the remotest bit of conjecture, I, personally, would like to see a Mac Home Server OS release. What would that have?
1) Common iTunes database
2) Common iPhoto database
3) you get the picture.

If it isn't a new iPod I am going to riot. Granted... it will be a small riot, but a riot none-the-less!!!

Isn't that Beatles cover art in the background?

If "The Beat Goes On" is the newest title for Madonna's newest song, then I think she will be only be releasing on iTunes. Recently there has been talk of here leaving her current label http://www.nme.com/news/madonna/30517
Whenever I heard she might I figured she would be going to Apple.

Can somebody say new iPods and an iTunes update of some sort to capture the new features of said iPods... Aperture? I think not!
I'm expecting some good blogging on the 5th TUAW I'll be at work but its around my lunchtime and I don't have any big meetings that day which reminds me to write a note to myself not to schedule a lunch meeting that day.
I smell a birthday gift a comin!

And the one to the right is Mika's 'Life in cartoon motion'. An excellent album I might add

I think the 6G iPod will have the design elements of the new iMac

Everybody's hyped up on thinking it will be an iPod event.... let's think outside the box and I'll predict a surprise early Leopard release, with iPods as a secondary to the announcement.

Cryptic?
The picture shows an iPod. The slogan refers to music. I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and say...
"They're releasing a 16 core Mac Pro!"
In the words of the immortal Inigo "You killed my father, prepare to die" Montoya, I do not think that word means what you think it means.
