Last minute "Let's Rock" predictions and roundup
With just over thirty minutes before today's press event, we're all aflutter here at TUAW headquarters. Since we can't contain ourselves, here's a last minute pre-event post.Likely rumors
New iPods is a given. Aside from the iPod-themed invitation, all signs are pointing to a revamped nano line, with greater storage, a new design and UI. AppleInsider is suggesting that the longer nano will be the first non-touch iPod with a motion sensor.
I think we'll also see a price drop for the iPod touch. Finally, iTunes 8 will be demonstrated and released. If the rumors are to be believed, this will be a major update to iTunes, possibly with HD content. We can't wait.
What we won't see
No Macs. Believe me, I want to see the neglected MacBook Pro overhauled as much as you do, but it's not going to happen this afternoon.
Despite the coincidental calendar in the MobileMe logo above, the service won't see any changes today, either. This event is about music and iPods.
Of course, all will be revealed in short order, and you can watch the fun unfold with our liveblog of the event. See you then.

I really feel like apple is neglecting it Mac users we have been taking a backseat to everything ipod, and iphone related.
There was a time when the mac line was pushing the envelope, now we are marginal. Where is the blu-ray, were are the SSD's mac-pro's. Dell is pushing a quad-core laptop

Here we were guessing about a date for this event, and it was right in front of your faces the entire time!

I'm looking forward to the Mini update with blu-ray. Can't let Dell's Studio Hybrid win in that arena.
