Visiting Sweden
Apple this morning will hold a music-related event in San Francisco where it will likely announce updates to its iPod lineup. But there's always the chance of "one more thing."
Every September since 2005, the company has held a press event to update its iPod lineup. Foreshadowing that this event will likely be for that purpose, the invitation Apple sent out to members of the media last week showed a silhouette of a woman dancing with an iPod in her hand and earbuds in her ears.
"It's only rock and roll, but we like it," the invitation read, alluding to the classic Rolling Stones song.
Numerous reports on the Internet, citing anonymous sources, have said that one of the new features at least some of the updated iPods will have are cameras. But more recent reports have suggested that the company may hold off on the cameras after running into technical troubles trying to incorporate them into the music players.
Another music-related announcement the company may well make at the event is to unveil its new virtual album art. The music labels and Apple have been working on a way to package liner notes, album art and other items with the sale of digital albums as a way to encourage sales of full albums rather than individual songs.
