Apple confirms Sept. 9 press event
At last Apple has begun distributing invitations to a press event scheduled for September 9th. The image on the invitation, which features a classic silhouette dancer, pretty much confirms our suspicion that this particular dog-and-pony show feature the iPod (now with cameras! ...maybe). Apple typically introduces new iPods in September.This year's event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco on September 9th at 10:00 a.m Pacific time. Perhaps then we'll see that secret television ad. In any case, we think it's safe for the pro-tablet theorists sit this one out. Maybe next time, folks.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

9/9/09. iTunes 9. New iPods. Oh, and one more thing... The Beatles!
Pure speculation, of course. But as others have noticed, iTunes is one of the few Apple apps shipping with Snow Leopard that is not 64-bit (1). Current iPod SKUs are disappearing (2). And, The Beatlesâ Remastered Albums are Due September 9, 2009 (3).

I find it interesting that Apple's Student free iPod touch with a mac purchase ends the day before this event. I wonder if there is a reason for that.

Thats a rolling stones single title.
I'm betting for the remastered Beatles on iTunes, in additoin to the new iPods. That date is just too coincidental. Couple that with the remastered CDs and The Beatles: Rock Band and I'd say that Sept 9, 2009 is set to be all about Apple Corp (and anyone lucky enough to sign a deal with them)

I hope Jobs doesn't make an appearance, because then apple can host
another big event later in september with Jobs announcing the
tablet.
I hope both Jobs AND The Beatles open the show, with "Come Together" playing before the curtain opens... but I think The Beatles announcement is bigger than a tablet though. Should be interesting.

That's what I want to know...
And very interesting point #3...
