Apple on Monday sent out invitations to select media and VIPs for a “special event” planned on September 7, 2005 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, at the Moscone Center West in San Francisco, Calif.
The e-mailed invitation shows a pair of denim jeans. At the top of the image reads a caption, “1000 songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again.”
“1000 songs in your pocket” is a slogan Apple first used with the original 5GB iPod, which made its debut in the late October, 2001. The first iPod featured a mechanical scroll wheel and a FireWire interface, and was Mac-compatible only.
For the past four years Apple has continuously updated the iPod line, which is now a cornerstone of its hardware product offerings and an important segment of Apple’s financial results. Capacities range from the 512MB flash-based iPod shuffle to the 60GB iPod, which touts a color LCD screen. Paired with Apple’s iTunes Music Store, the iPod line has dominated the digital music player market.
Apple offered no other concrete information about the event, but MacCentral will be in attendance.

Maybe it'll be a video of a Giant Head a la Citizen Kane teling people they must watch MTv... yadda yadda yadda....
Well...I know what they're looking to take out of my pocket.
Be still, my beating heart.
Only holds about 25% of my CD collection though, so I've had to selectively upload it.
Enough with the iPod. Time to fulfill your "year of HD" promise, Steve.
If they come out with a useable ebook reader, I'll buy it. "1,000 books in your pocket" has a nice ring to it.
Someone noticed that Apple was buying up about a zillion flash-memory chips over the coming months, so one current rumor is a 4- or 5-gig flash-based player. Same general capacity as the current Mini, but with no moving parts.
Since Jobs has indicated that they'll switch over to Intel, I'd love to see Apple come out with a shrink-wrapped O/S for the Intel chip. Wouldn't THAT put Microsoft's panties in a bunch!
The problem with Audiobooks on the iPod is that there's no way to fast forward/reverse through the recording (as you may already know).
So if you're listening to an audiobook, stop midway and listen to some music, then go back to the audiobook, you've gotta start from the beginning.
Audiobooks work much better on iTunes.
No, more marketing of the computer to the youth that is quickly losing their ability to read books in favor of crappy music.
Maybe it's a CephaliPod.
Or ... a CyPod!!!
a CY-POD!!!!!!!
What ever this turns out to be I predict a big 'yawn' and I'm an Apple fan.
Then why does Harry Potter sell millions of copies?
Words of the devil. Sorcery, witchcraft: my kids don't read it.
