It is almost a given that Apple will introduce it’s new iPod line up during Wednesday’s “The Beat Goes On” event in San Francisco. While many rumor sites and discussion boards have thrashed out the potential details of what the new iPods may hold few have discussed what else Apple might release or announce. One thing is for sure though, and this may sound obvious, but Apple would not hold an event like this at such a large venue if they were just showing off hardware revisions to the iPod line. If that was the case a press release or a smaller event would suffice, but this has the hall marks of the typical Apple launch with some major announcements no one quite expected.
Usually these type of events are for Jobs to show off something that requires some type of demonstration. I suppose it could be just a new operating system for the iPods, but then how long can you spend demoing the iPod. Even if they do introduce the “iPod Touch” that everyone is suggesting, it will be so similar to the iPhone (as the rumors would have us believe) that it won’t exactly require a half hour demo either.
So what could it be?
Well, there are numerous rumors flying around suggesting that Apple will offer wireless downloads, that they will launch iTunes kiosks, ring tones for the iPhone, and of course that the Beatles catalogue will finally be launched on iTunes.
Anyway, it’s only a few days away now, so just a few thoughts to keep the hype flowing!
