Apple Event - 2008, September
For Apple, it seems it's showtime all around the year, no matter if they are releasing new products or not. After all, there are plenty of software applications and accessories for their products good enough to celebrate at least every weekend, and despite all problems caused by their rapid growth in the last years, Apple is going stronger than ever. Anyway, the problem - at least to me - is that almost half of their products are pretty old by today's standards, so a refresh is needed, especially for the older iPods, but not limited to them. Now, since we have an Apple event expected to take place next month, everyone is looking forward to get all they want...but is this going to happen?
What's going to happen remains a mistery, but before moving to serious stuff, let's see what the "Fake Steve Jobs" has to say about it, in his blog:"Today, history is made. Fifty years from now people will look back and mark this date as the turning point when the shackles of 20th-century media and telephony and film and TV and print were thrown off, shrugged away like so much heavy useless armor."
You know what the funniest part of this entire thing? Apple didn't make any official statement yet, but everyone is considering this September event to be certain, and most of them think that refreshed iPods will become available, maybe even a new touch-screen iPod!
In the meantime, a lot of rumors regarding updated Cinema displays are spinning around, not to mention those regarding the redesign of the MacBook and MacBook Pro lines.
Just as before, my guess is we'll get some new iPods, maybe some refreshed Macs and - hopefully - a big surprise. Regarding that surprise, I really don't know what to say, but if one would ask me what I'd like to see, my wish is a game console from Apple. What about you?

A Mac tablet please (maybe called Macbook Touch? who knows!). Dreaming here on: if possible, a television. Oh and a line of compact cameras.

They have the Apple TV already; connect it to some Apple LCD, and you have the full TV set from Apple.
Other than that, it seems the new iPods are extremely close - tomorrow we may even have some spy shots with them!

The could even have an Apple TV built into an television screen. I’d buy one! I’d also like to see a new iPod touch as well as the new iPods which we all know are coming in a few days time.

I’m personally hoping for a MacBook and MacBook Pro refresh. PC person considering making the switch, and I want to make sure Apple doesn’t throw a new notebook into the stores right after I go out and get one.

Jamie, what do you think a new iPod Touch could offer? Apart from higher storage capacity and some minor software updates, I can’t imagine any new feature requiring serious hardware changes.
cw, I would wait for a little longer, if I were you. The new Macs will probably drop in less than 3 months, but I don’t think we’ll see them on the 9th of September…
