Apple to hold ‘Let’s Rock’ special event September 9th

Apple today sent our an invitation to media outlets for a special event to be held next week.

An invitation for the September 9th event, set for San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (whose calendar has been conspicuously blank for September 9th), is headlined “Let’s Rock.”

The invitation shows an iPod screen showing a silhouetted dancer holding an iPod with the text:

Let’s Rock
September 9, 2008
10 a.m.
San Francisco

  1. the rumor mill in IP (from my anonymous firm) is that this is for new iPods, possible a new form factor for iPod touch, also a new wi-fi nano which basiclly moves the click wheel to a mult-touch function on the screen, and the screen takes up the entire face – but remain about the size of the last nano… for waht it’s worth, the IP group rumors have been wrong more than they’ve been right

  2. Introducing the new ©APPLE ROCK.

    Hands free operation means the Apple Rock (available in Granite, Marble, and Schist) is controlled simply by waving your hand over it to control volume and advance your playlist. The rock is not approved for outdoor use.

  3. Yes, Bored, with a little helping of facetiousness.

    BTW, HMCIV, when I first saw the headline, I thought it said ‘Little Rock’, as in the most populous state without an Apple Store would finally be getting one!

    But, Noooooo……

  4. The current nano seems almost ideal to me. I am intrigued by the idea of approximately maintaining the 4G nano form factor, but maximizing the screen dimensions with a multi-touch interface (iPod touch nano?). I don’t want to take the multi-touch theme too far – I’d still like a physical control for volume, for instance.

    It would probably need to be a bit thicker than the current nano to accommodate additional battery capacity to support a bigger display. It would be very nice to have GPS, as well, but that may be asking too much.
