The Mac Observer Spin:
So what will it be? New iPods? That music sharing service all the majors have reported? Perhaps a buyout of Universal? We'll bet dollars to donuts that it won't be the latter possibility, but the smart money's has been seen hanging out around the first two options. Mind you, that's just our speculation.One thing is for certain: Apple wants to get coverage of this event, which suggests that it won't be your run of the mill announcement.
