Engadget recently confirmed that Apple is going ahead with a long-rumored September 9th press event at which they're allegedly going to announce their fall lineup of iPods and possibly even MacBook refreshes according to MacRumors.

Quote:

Apple is expected to release new iPod nanos and a new iPod Touch. While Macbook and MacBook Pro updates are also in the pipeline, we have heard suggestions that those will not see updates until at least October.

New aluminum MacBooks have long been rumored to be on the way, along with this obvious iPod refresh, but it may have to wait for another press event as this one seems focued on music and the new iPods. Still, with Vista still in the dumps, Apple is seated to do even more marketshare damage if they can deliver OS X in sexy new, reasonably priced MacBooks for the fall. You might recall they talked in the past about taking a hit in margin to increase penetration into marget segments. We'll hear it all on September 9th and possibly thereafter.

So the question is...

...will the new MacBooks run Diablo III?!?

I could use an Ipod for my daily treadmill torture.

I wonder if those screenshots of the supposed new Nano model were real. Its was long & thin and well too fugly for an Apple product. We'll know next week I guess. I know that iTunes 8 is part of the whole thing though.

I was going to ask if anyone thought the nano was going back to the long thin style.

Won't be able to tell the difference between the zune and ipod nano if the rumours are true.

Judging from the cases found in the wild: 4th Generation iPod Nano Case 'In the Wild' - Mac Rumors

that would match the fugly images that have been posted all over: New iPod Nano, iPod Touch, iTunes 8.0, and Blu-Ray in OS X 10.5.6? - Mac Rumors
