Let's play the bingo game: Apple Event!

September 9th: Let's Rock, 10am GMT-0700h.

That's 1AM September 10th in Singapore...

I'm probably going to stream the event on my mac while I sleep and refresh MacRumors on my iPhone / iPod touch...

Put before the event begins, let's predict what's going to happen during the event!

1. Steve Jobs will appear with his usual black turtle-neck and Levi's.
2. Steve will share some stats about iPod sales [and very briefly, iPhone sales.]
3. Steve will talk about iPod nano, and unleash a redesigned iPod nano
4. Steve will talk about iPod classic, and then announce that there'll be new models which use SSD. [this has not been circulated in the rumor mill yet, so you heard this here first!]
5. Steve will announce a redesigned iPod touch: thinner, more tapered edge.
6. Steve will poke fun at Redmond.
7. Steve will release new shuffles. I'm going out on a limb by saying the shuffle will have tapered edges like the MacBook Air and iPhone 3G. In fact, this is true for all the other iPods released at this event.
8. iTunes 8. 'Genius', HD, NBC returns, Russia and Singapore gets store along with many other.
9. Apple TV price drop.
10. NO MAC UPDATES. That's probably in January 2009. New design of MacBook, MacBook Pros, iMacs. Juiced-up Nehalem processors on all the Macs, DDR3 for Mac Pro, new GPUs for all Macs [Intel GMA X4500 HD for Mac Mini, X4500MHD for MacBook, ATI HD3450 / 3850 or Nvidia Geforce GTX260 for MacBook Pro and iMac], Blu-Ray option for Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and highest-end iMac, LED for all screens + Cinema Display.
