The anticipation is building as the moment that we have all been waiting for is rapidly approaching. Can you feel the excitement? We sure can, and wanted to let you know that we will be here bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ready to serve up the juiciest news and announcements about Apple’s “Let’s Rock” event beginning at 10:00 a.m. PST.
Over the past week we have reported rumors of what tomorrow’s event may have in store for us, so let’s quickly recap what we may expect to see.
First and foremost, rumors of a tall and thin iPod nano, reminiscent of the second generation model have been the primary focus of what will be announced. While early reports had been met with initial skepticism, we are now confident that the device will make an appearance. Digg’s Kevin Rose had offered up confirmation to the design which had later led to an authenticated photograph of the device.
Rose also reported that a second generation iPod touch would see the light of day with a few “cosmetic changes” which may include GPS functionality and will be coupled with 2.1 firmware. Possible dimensional images had been released by iLounge, detailing the specs of the device which appear to be similar to the iPhone 3G.
iTunes 8, said to sport Pandora-style Genius feature, Genius Sidebar, Grid view, and visualizer as well as other features has been speculated to be released at tomorrow’s event. Ars Technica has confirmed its release after repudiating initial details first reported by Kevin Rose.
Additionally, Apple has reportedly been urging facets of the media to provide coverage of the event which is being touted as a “big deal.” Could this be hope for some additional surprises? Well, we are just going to have to wait and see.
