arstechnica.com — Tuesday, September 9 descends upon us, and Apple fans know what that means: it's almost time for Apple's traditional fall iPod event, this time dubbed "Let's Rock." The event, which Apple indirectly announced last week by sending out invites to media contacts, has been widely expected for several months now, as the company has held special events

  • topdon23, on 09/08/2008, -9/+40fix the god damn buggy iphone os!!
  • Mycael, on 09/08/2008, -0/+22I'm looking forward to iTunes 8 most. Should be good.
  • blakamin, on 09/08/2008, -5/+19Fix iTunes for windows!
  • meean, on 09/08/2008, -1/+15I wish grammar should be good.

    Sorry, had to!
  • MacParrot, on 09/08/2008, -0/+13Actually when he does die, he'll be computer generated by Pixar and no one will notice a thing
  • jamesmcq24, on 09/08/2008, -3/+13make itunes for linux!
  • Urkel, on 09/08/2008, -0/+9Good news! They are introducing Copy, but only pre-announcing Paste for a summer 09 release.
  • Dylson, on 09/08/2008, -3/+11I hope they add speakers and a volume rocker to the iPod touch. That is something it has needed since day one.
  • k3nt, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6Laptops. For the love of all that is sacred.
  • Urkel, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6A drawback to being a leader in innovation is that when you don't have a true "showstopper" then it can be disappointing. iTunes 8, iPod Nano, Touch 2.1 are all slight upgrades to products that work great already.

    Hopefully there is a "One last thing..." product because if that's all they are showing us then it can be a little disappointing considering non-iPhone Apple fans have been waiting for new products for such a long time.
  • blankoboy, on 09/08/2008, -0/+5New Mac Mini or bust....
  • inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+5Sorry, the MrBabyMan situation will be discussed at the United Nations in November 2008.
  • Dylson, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5It is so pointless to ask who gives a *****. There is always going to be SOMEBODY who gives a *****.
  • Urkel, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4The only thing I've ever wanted in an iTunes update since iTunes 5 was "Watched Folders". If you delete or add an mp3 to your collection then the software should know automatically instead of giving that gray exclamation point.
  • inactive, on 09/08/2008, -2/+5...and BeOS
  • erzhaosong2000, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3no.
  • mrBitch, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2Zing!
  • MacParrot, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3CONGRATULATIONS! You are officially the 10,000th person to say that they don't give a ***** in a digg topic! For your bit to add unoriginality along with what obviously is pre-adolescent angst with a conformist version of non-conformity you win the sacred "troll is troll" digg award!

    Your fellow middle-schoolers will look to you with pride and envy!
  • beerbarron, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2I think new MBP's will be the one last thing tomorrow, new iPhone/iPod touch remote software for more controlling of apple products, eg iWorks keynotes (I know theres software already, but like coverflow I think apple may well take it over) new multi touch apple cinema display maybe? Been a long time since they have done anything with them...
  • erzhaosong2000, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2Don't feed the troll.
  • MattBD, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2I might consider buying an iPod Touch if they drop the price sufficiently on the 32GB model, but at the moment it's ridiculously expensive.
    That said, I'd imagine that at some point Apple are going to jump on the netbook bandwagon (and no, the MacBook Air is NOT any kind of substitute for an Eee PC in terms of portability, it's just too expensive). It makes sense to me that this would be around when Snow Leopard is released (as this would reduce the hardware requirements). I expect the fanboys would go crazy for a MacBook Mini or MacBook Nano.
  • wallcloud111, on 09/08/2008, -2/+4i already have an iPod, i don't care!!!!! how about bringing out the new macbooks... *****!
  • modusop, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Succession plan as the one more thing. New iPods are a given, and they're already ahead on technology. I'd love to know how Jobs plans to bow out without a major blow to the market cap.
  • Elranzer, on 09/08/2008, -1/+2MacWorld is in January.
  • digiratinz, on 09/08/2008, -1/+2sounds quite feasible
  • beerbarron, on 09/11/2008, -0/+1Now that would be cool
  • Balanced, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1It's a music event, though... Not real likely unless they're adding an iPod dockslot to the MacBooks.
  • migitalwarfare, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1a SIM card is needed for GSM carriers, and if your CDMA carriers are anything like verizon here in the US, why the hell would you want that?
  • Dylson, on 09/08/2008, -3/+4No!
  • Urkel, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1How many iPod/iPhone events have there been since the last new Mac product was announced? There are those of us out here who could care less about iPods and iPhones and simply want to see something new in the Mac lineup.
  • tweeto, on 09/08/2008, -2/+2SIM free iPhone for the holidays?...
  • ThinkIcouldburn, on 09/08/2008, -4/+4I'm expecting some footage from the Nine Inch Nails show in NJ, that apple for some reason taped a portion of, to appear. And I really hope I'll be able to see it.
  • inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1ass
  • Whatsthetimecod, on 09/08/2008, -8/+8I hope they make me a ham sandwich and bring me a glass of milk to wash it down.
  • MicrosoftBob, on 09/08/2008, -1/+1iTunes alternatives for Linux:

  • representDLV, on 09/08/2008, -2/+1Woo Hoo!!!! I win!!!!
  • digiratinz, on 09/08/2008, -3/+2irection
  • representDLV, on 09/08/2008, -3/+1Oh really? I actually thought not one person was interested in this. So you're telling me that SOMEBODY really does give a *****?
  • mastazed, on 09/08/2008, -7/+5Power book G5
  • inactive, on 09/08/2008, -11/+93G and GPS in the Touch. New MacBook like with 3G and GPS and aluminum enclosures. I know this for a fact! My aunt was playing bingo for alcoholics and the guy next to her said he gets a massage from a guy who's neighbor works at the Mrs. Fields next to the Apple Store and he gives free cookies for inside info.
  • ThaDRD, on 09/08/2008, -5/+3He will then begin to rape various audience members and they will make excuses for their rapist like a battered wife.
  • CharlesSaint, on 09/08/2008, -3/+1A recent tweet of mine "5:30 PM - Twitterific 1.1 update install begins on 1st gen iPhone over WiFi. 7:00 PM - Install finishes. Bravo Apple, bravo."

    ( http://twitter.com/nickreed , if anyone cares )
  • palmdoc, on 09/08/2008, -7/+4There'll still be no Copy and Paste
  • kishosingh, on 09/08/2008, -10/+5I will go with lower prices. I wish prices should be low.
  • maverickapollo, on 09/08/2008, -9/+4Steve Jobs did actually die, now he is just like the pope, will be a animated carcas rolled out and displayed like a puppet until it falls apart.
  • tacotruck08, on 09/08/2008, -11/+4please give us a new mini
