Showtime.

We're getting more details today about Apple's media event scheduled for next week. iLounge, who got an invite, has the scoop:

Apple today confirmed that it will hold a special event on Tuesday, September 12th at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, California. An invitation sent to select media, including iLounge, features Hollywood premiere-style spotlights and reads simply, “It’s Showtime.” The event will kick off at 10:00 a.m. PT.

 

Reports of a September 12th press event first surfaced last week after the hosts of the Your Mac Life radio show and European Apple enthusiast websites claimed to have knowledge of the event. Apple’s date choice appears to be intentional, as the event will overlap with the opening day of this year’s Apple Expo in Paris, France, an international Mac and iPod show the company declined to grace with a keynote.

I assume that the "Showtime" reference isn't just a reference to the HBO competitor. What are your predictions?

"...Let's just say I have been informed by a little reliable birdy about Tomorrow's event. The line-up will follow this similar structure:

 

* Welcoming of Media Members

* Discussion on iTunes software, iTMS integration into iTunes, and iTMS sales and facts.

* Announcement of iTunes version 7.0

* Announces better search feature for Music Store

* Announces Movie Store. Available Immediately will be movies from Disney and Pixar, among other studios.

* New iPod Nano Announcement (nice brushed casing, while it will have same features as first gen, only a longer battery life)

* New iPod Announcement (Widescreen, Bluetooth, and featuring virtual touchweel. Does not include Wi-Fi, or any other protocols)

* One More Thing....TubePort. A $99 2-piece set that includes a dongle that connects via USB to your mac, and another dongle that connects via included HD cables or regular Component cables to your TV. The movie is accessed on your Mac via an iDisk-like storage component hosted by Apple.

 

Jobs will then explain the pricing structure of the Movie Store. Movies will be available as either a smaller iPod-format (which will cost $9.99 per movie), or as a larger, streamed movie to be streamed to your TV via TubePort. This cost $14.99 per movie. To purchase an iPod-formatted movie and a streamed version of the same movie, it will cost you $19.99."

 

Any comments? :)
