“All of which gives me an excuse to…write about Apple invites as we wait for next week’s Apple product event to come around,” McCracken writes. “‘A Brief History of Apple Event Invites’ recaps eight years of such invitations: what they said, what people thought they said, and whether expectations for the events in question had anything to do with the news that Apple actually released.”

Is it not obvious by now, mere mortals can not decode the invites!
Yet, they stumble in the dark for a quest they are uable to understand and lacking to complete. Sad mortals of the media.
Revised invitation coming out later today:

OK, this one is easy… the tablet is not just a lame e-reader – it is a mobile content creation device.
Liquid ink, of course. As opposed to fixed (printed) ink.
Some kid of 3D too (it’s breaking out beyond the frame).
It’s a canvas
It is great to have someone carefully sift through the years of invitations, catalog them, annotate them, dig up the frenzy that preceded them (together with all the expectations and predictions), as well as what was actually released.
Based on the 13 invitations since the original iPod in the wake of 11 September, this one seems to be among the most cryptic ones. However, after reviewing prior 13, one thing can easily be deducted: the “new creation” that the press has been invited to “come and see” will not be a Mac, nor an iPod, nor an iPhone, nor an AppleTV. In other words, it most likely WON’T fall into any existing category. Which adds fuel to the tablet fire.
Then again, I’m sure Apple’s PR is having a great laugh, looking at this mass hysteria that has been generated around this invitation.
Compared to the Apple propaganda masters, Goebbels was a junior high school student. These guys could easily sell Eskimos the proverbial refridgerators…
Maybe this means something

maybe not!
Remember the patent apple got for cases that can change color? We will see iPods that can change color
Simple: It´s the iPalette
you´ll use it like a painter, you could grab it with one hand as a paint palette and use the other for hand for painting, working, reading or just for fun…
iPal?
iPoontang
Much simpler. Disregard the colors, it’s just about the splodges: iClimax.
If the past months are anything to go by, lots of analysts and other creeps will!
It won’t be the iSlate or iPad. Too obvious.
Taking a cue from Apple’s MobileMe service, new products will have “me” appended, rather than adding an “i” in front.
The new device shall be called… PadMe.
George Lucas is reportedly preparing a trademark lawsuit.
Colour electronic ink screen?
I would surely stand in line for some Padme
The message is clear. It’s going to make a big, colorful splash.
Something just occured to me as I looked at this invitaion…. Palette. The new device will be called the Mac Palette.
Not to be upstaged, Ballmer is launching a press event behind the Redmond Dairy Queen the day before. Being a straight shooter, he has hand written in crayon, “Come find out why we like to screw over our kustomers (sic) and buy me some ice cream, you idiots. And bring something to bite down on.”
