September 9th Apple Event August 17, 2009
Posted by cuyler in iPod.trackback
Hold on to your iPods! Apple is holding a “rock and roll” press event on Wednesday, September 9th. Apple is expected to announce updates to the iPod line and iTunes 9 (perhaps why the event is scheduled for the 9th). The new version of iTunes is expected to have Blu-ray support and social network integration.
Speculation is that new versions of the iPod Touch and iPod Nano will include a camera.
Apparently there will be no announcement of a new tablet computer that has been widely rumored. Speculation is that a tablet device will come out sometime in early 2010.
It would be wonderful if Steve Jobs handles the presentation next month, but I might think Apple wants him to keep a low profile. Steve Jobs is unquestionably important, but Apple shouldn’t want investors to equate the health of Steve Jobs with the health of the company.

September 9, 2009 is a big day the Beatles. They are releasing their digitally remastered catalogue that day (9/9/9). In addition, it is the release date for The Beatles: Rock Band video game. Could this also be the day that the entire Beatles collection is finally available on iTunes?
It may be that Apple also announces an update to the iPhone OS that enables MMS for AT&T customers. (Update — on September 3rd, AT&T announced MMS will be available for the iPhone on the 25th).
