From MacNN in a story entitled “AmTech: Sept. 9th event modest, may exclude Macs”:

Apple’s event scheduled for September 9th may be very narrowly focused, says analyst Shaw Wu of American Technology Research… Wu notes that aside from the invitation image, which clearly references iPods, supply chain checks suggest that the event will be almost exclusively iPod-focused, likely excluding the new Macs

Really? The fact that Apple has held this event for the past several years and it has NEVER included macs wasn’t a big enough clue already?

In fairness though numerous people have been asking me if I think we’ll see new macbooks or mac minis at the event next week. Repeat after me everyone, it’s a music event. They do this every year. It’s not for Macs. It will be iPods, iTunes, and possibly the AppleTV. It will not be about new macs, and I don’t need supply chain checks to tell me that. Sorry for those holding off for a new Macbook, but you’ll just have to wait a little bit longer. I suspect a press release a week or two later.

Then again, I suppose anything could happen, so I could be wrong, but history is certainly against it.
