Tuesday, 12 September is the big coming out day for Core 2 Duo-based iMacs, new generations of iPod and iPod Nano, and Apple's iTunes Movie store, it has been claimed after Apple began mailing out invites to the media to come along to Cupertino or attend a London-hosted simulcast of the proceedings.
A satellite transmission to Europe isn't a common Apple press conference strategy, suggesting Tuesday's events will indeed be something special. Sources cited by website Think Secret claim, however, that the unveiling will not include the much-anticipated widescreen, video-oriented iPod that's been cropping up on online rumour sites since March this year. The report reckons we will see new, higher capacity Nanos all in multiple, metallic colours. The 5G iPod is simply getting a boosted storage capacity for the same price, it adds.

Then we have media outlets over-hyping things.
Poor Apple.
Isn't it that if a press conference is held at Cupertino, it is likely it isn't going to be that big? Sure it's being simulcast via satellite to another location, but would that be just to please London journalists?
As for the Movie Store... yeah we all know it's coming. New iPods? Definately coming... But why post an article telling us what we know?
They look cool at the moment, but surely it would be more personal and feel like your ipod, instead of just an ipod like everyone else.
I really wanted a U2 coloured 5g, but in 60gb and without any of the sigs on the back (not a great fan of U2, just looks nice). This could be the answer, although Im not too hopeful.
