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
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
The Beatles!!!
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.
-new nano(s) $99 and $149
-new(ish) touch(s) $149 and $199 (thats right $149 to start)
-Classic still more expensive than what it is worth
-App Store sales helping offset the cost of the cheap touches
-One more thing… See you all next week, macbook touch (touchbook)

What does “let’s rock” have to do with AC/DC?
I assume you are getting “let’s rock” confused with AC/DC’s “let there be rock”.
Apple will announce that they will become a record label and announce acts to the new label. You heard it here first….
MDN Magic Word – entire as in I can be entire(ly) wrong.
Wow! And I thought the Republican Convention was exciting!!!
Oooh, just got a Twin Peaks flashback…
@TowerTone
Sarcasm? I have tried to watch and get into the RNC. I just can’t too much drama, no real Republicans. I think that I, a life long Republican, am going to vote for Obama.
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……
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.
Hmmmm….I wonder why the progress bar on the invite?
iAm dreamming Apple will also cut the price of the touch which is far to high as compared to the iPhone. iBelive i might by an iPod touch, if they update it, add memory, and reduce the price. iHope so.
yes, there will be something special happening with the band acdc. So get ready! LET’S ROCK!
“why the progress bar on the invite?”
Because the actual release date is October or November?
@Columbidae,
Have the re-mastered Beatles finally arrived?

That picture does remind me of promotional shots circa 1964/1965 that had the Beatles jumping. However, the figure is not wearing Beatle boots.
Let’s ROCK???
It obviously means Apple is launching the long rumored “Macbook Pro – Granite” to replace the aluminum line.
iPod touch Metallica Edition!!! I dreamt about it, so it must be true!
