“As usual, what will actually happen during [Apple's] special event remains (officially) unknown. Unofficially, however, there’s a lot that we ‘know,’ or at least expect. The surest bets revolve around renewed iPod nano designs, iPod touch designs, and price drops,” Jacqui Cheng reports for Ars Technica.
A new iPod nano featuring widescreen displays with “rounded, curved glass” in new colors and iPod touch updates featuring cosmetic changes to make the units “more iPhone 3G-like” are among the rumors Cheng mentions.
In addition, “it’s widely expected that iTunes 8 will be making its debut on Tuesday, complete with a smattering of new features like a Pandora-like Genius feature, Genius Sidebar, Grid view, and more…. We received word over the weekend that it had finally been approved for release and that iPhone 2.1 firmware was possibly slated to come along with it. And, on top of it all, what we’ve heard about iPhone 2.1 may not be all that’s in the update: supposedly there are features that were removed before the firmware was seeded to developers,” Cheng reports.
Apple has told “various members of the media that the event will be a ‘big deal,’ Apple sure does seem to want everyone to be there, and not just to confirm the existence of everything we’ve already heard about,” Cheng reports.
