Apple Announces September 1, 2010 Music Event.

Just in case you’ve been waiting to get a new iPod, waiting for another week would be a good idea. Apple has sent out invitations to select few that don’t rhyme with bizmodo to a September 1, 2010 Music Event. The event will be held at Yerba Buena Center for The Arts Theater in San Francisco. The event starts at 10:00 AM Cupertino Time.

As usual some sites will be bringing live coverage from the event.

What do we know so far?

  • iOS 4.1 availability will be announced for iPhone and iPod touch; not the iPad.
  • New iPod line-up.
  • More FaceTime devices.

Other speculations:

  • The next TV (that’s Apple TV if you can’t see the Apple Logo).
  • The next iLife suite.
  • New iTunes software and services.

Crazy Speculations:

  • Rounded corner of something.
  • White iPhone 4.

Anyway, as usual check back for list of live coverage links here.
