Apple to host UK Special Event 18/9
Thanks to tipster Lee for sending this, courtesy of MacFormat. Apple has announced an invite-only event to be held next Tuesday morning (18th September) at London's Regent Street Apple Store. The event invite is simply headed with the tagline "Mum is no longer the word" and instructions on how to get to the Regents Street store. My money, as with most, is on an iPhone announcement - possibly UK-specific given that it's just one week before Apple Expo Paris (Europe's largest Apple event) - however we'll clearly have to wait until next week to get any more out of Apple.Share

a long time to close shop for something trivial surely?
must be the iPhone!!!
3G 16GB iPhones and a new firmware update to screw up all the recently unlocked iPhones. While Steve plays Instant Karma('s gonna get you) on stage.
Just out of curiosity who has to protect the iPhone trademark? Cisco or Apple? I just noticed the vast number of iPhone domain names being used to promote apps, cracks and hacks. Usually these would be met with cease and desist requests like they were with the iPod.
Mum's the word means to keep quiet or not talk, so if mum is no longer the word then people will be talking....hence iphone people.....no final cut server rubbish, no new macbooks (like they'd announce that in a european store.
Expect 02 to be selling iphone (they just added edge to their network) and movies on itunes.... thats right....Movies and British TV shows.
Thats all its going to be....don't hold your breath for anything else.
October, hmmmmm...
Leopard, hmmmmm...
You guys got it all wrong!
Apple said that their MAM software (Final Cut Server) was due late summer.
So, MUM probably is the Applelistic way of saying MAM.
cheers
Mum's the word
Meaning
Keep quiet - say nothing.
Origin
Mum; not mother but 'mmmmm', the humming sound made with a closed mouth. Used by Shakespeare in Henry VI, Part 2:
"Seal up your lips and give no words but mum."
Secret? If the iPhone being launched here is what its about, then surely its not a secret. I would say 3G iPhone, but why would Apple release a product here and not in the US? I know we have better 3G networks (yes, US, we are better than you in some technology) but Apple wouldn't release a product in Europe and not in the US... there would be an uproar!

I just noticed that 15" MacBook Pros are no longer being sold online in the Apple Store. They are showing as shipping in 7-10 business days, which is right after this announcement. Looks like changes to the 15" MacBook Pro line for X-mas are a possibility.
Well I'm glad to see our friends across the pond will be getting the iPhone soon. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE STEVE, PLEASE ANNOUNCE A COMING SOON RELEASE DATE FOR 10.5
