These sources also tell us that Apple will begin an intensive four-week training course for these new hires starting next week. The training is said to be in preparation for an October release of “a very big new product.”
That is all we have currently. We are working to find out more information and to confirm certain things and have therefore tagged this as “RUMOR.”

The new Apple TV, or iTV, perhaps?
Doesn’t seem like a significant new product could come “out of nowhere.” There must be some production rumors. Or is it a service, like streaming TV and movies? Or nothing at all.
This doesn’t sound right for several reasons. In the past, Apple hasn’t pre-trained anyone before a major product announcement.
Apple would be unlikely to launch mid-holiday season.
Apple is still focused on the iPad and iPhone 4, but will be promoting the new iPods…and maybe new Apple TV product, but that won’t be a major very big new product.
Only one reason I can think of for new telesales….
iTimeShare!
iTV is the set top box with a difference…it goes ANYWHERE.
and streams from the North Carolina Data center…for $99..
Google? Too little, too late, too evil
“Product” does not necessarily mean new hardware. This type of new hire and training for “telesales positions” sounds like a SERVICE product. That that would align with the new data center opening up soon to provide the infrastructure for such new services. Apple may be starting a big new assault on content delivery, one that goes WAY beyond the current iTunes Store.
Apple moves into cable! Just not connected by the “cable.”
No! How about Apple moves into the telcom business. Just not with the telcom overhead!
What about…. Ohhhh, who knows! Wait and see I guest.
I think this might be connected to something originating from a Very large building beside US321 near Maiden NC. Are they going to sell clouds ?
It can’t be a streaming service via iTunes – you wouldn’t need to talk to anyone to set it up – it would be done through iTunes.
It must be the long-awaited G5 PowerBook.
GC Services is hiring people like crazy to support Apple products in their call centers
In this day and age it is probably impossible to keep a big secret, but maybe, maybe we will all be surprised by something utterly new and unexpected

Apple will announce new services being an ISP, online cloud storage, Cable TV and phone company network provider perhaps… !

Nahhhhh!
Funny, Apple is now the bisgest Tech company in the world, but even before that, you can only expect “a very big new products” from them.
Microsoft also released a few very big products, but big in package and in lines of code.
Apple “BIG” = Great, Magnificent
Microsoft “big” = “bing”, Bulky, dinosaur, you get the point.
Very un-Apple-like to train people for a month and then announce a product. I would think they’d announce it, then train people to keep some schmuck from spilling the beans.
“The training is said to be in preparation for an October release of “a very big new product.””
Or it could be nothing more than preparation for the Holiday season.
Hey everyone, about that “hobby” …..
They need to stop announcing good news and/or new products, because it keeps driving the stock down, WTF causes that?
Apple announces the forthcoming launches of its six new telecommunication satellites for its always-on broadband network service, connected to South Carolina, which also houses the Apple Entertainment Network. The one more thing announcement will be the line of televisions with front facing cameras, and wi-fi & satellite-fi connections.

That could catch on and spread like wildfire.
Too bad about that latency dealio…

Scoop!! I have found a clip of Apple’s new iTV IN ACTION!!! http://tinyurl.com/29juk7f & http://tinyurl.com/22kyf8m
iAd sales for the new iTV that will stream network television.
hmm .. I didn’t know Apple uses that much on telesales.
What could that be?
Not streamed network television, but TV on demand, before the cable companies get there.
@ Spark:
I like the satellite idea. How much is a satellite?. How many could you send up for, say, 8 billion?. Spend that cash Apple, save us!.
you are all wrong…
it’s the app to make the damn phone part of the iPhone work.
hooray beer!
