Apple has confirmed its much talked about September event.

As was expected, the event is music/iPod themed. While this will undoubtedly mean iPods with cameras and a look at iTunes 9, Steve Jobs' appearance has been rumored for the event as well as an Apple tablet.

TechCrunch reports that Apple will shift focus to the iPod Touch as the main iPod. Anyone have any predictions about what Apple will offer this year? Let us know in the comments below!

Yup, it's probably Beatles...

It's not going to stop me from boycotting Apple anyway.

They'll up the disk space on the touch, probably in the 80 - 100 gig range.

The picture below the article alone is enough to frighten me away from the Ipod lineup...

After seeing the Beatles latch on to Rock Band for another distribution platform, I fully expect this to be the long awaited Beatles announcement.

Doubt it and I can't imagine how ridiculously expensive it would be either. Bet the 8GB is phased out and it goes 16, 32, and 64 with the current pricing scheme. The 32GB is just stupidly expensive at $400. I bet it cost Apple $15 more for the NAND than the 8GB and they make it up $180.

0% chance.

You clearly don't understand quantum mechanics.

@tayb

If they do make the iPod Touch the "main" SKU, they might indeed put a 1.8" hard drive in there instead of flash memory. That would keep the price tag lower. Well, not as high...

sorry, but the ipods have historically been behind the curve in storage capacity compared to my music collection. I think I might be some sort of music addict.

I have no need for an over priced MP3 player, even if it works as a crappy camera with no optical zoom.

Apple should call their event "Douchefest" to better represent their target demographic.
