It has to be iPhone...why else would apple hold a special conference in england all of a sudden?...only other reason i can think of is Beatles.........
But this is news enough to postpone my ordering of iPod touch here in Australia until after sept 28th

Here we go!! I reckon it'll be a bit of both, iPhone for Xmas and UK iTunes content to put on it! Would be a good month for me then as I've just gone and bought the new Logic Studio too 
Now THAT sucks. iPod touch and a phone with low monthly bills, or iPhone and big monthly bills? Ahhhhh can't choose.
in exactly the same situation!!
iPod Touch £269 EDIT- if buying a new mac with this education thing will get me money off the touch - awesome!
Sony K810i £0.00 with £20 contract for 18 months
or iPhone 8GB (probably £269, with >=£30 24 month contract?)
atm its the Touch
Regent Street?
Regent Street Apple Store is big, and I guess they'll hold the event from the top at the back where they also do their "Live from London" series. But will this press conference be open to the general public?
That would be an interesting experience. Maybe I'll have to book a day off work for that. Especially if his Steveness is gonna be there (which I assume no-one has confirmed and could be unlikely, judging by the rather boring invite - no offense Apple).

Didn't Steve just say Beatles would most likely be during first half of 2008? I'm guessing this is just about the iPhone.
Sorry it seems to be an invite only event, like all Apple press events.
"Guests admitted by invitation only."
I don't know if anything is set in stone, but I'm sort of hoping they will parter with Vodaphone. I'm not keen on them as a whole but my girlfriends mum got us all these Vodaphone sim cards so we can ring each other for free. At the moment I'm stuck using an ancient sim free Nokia with the sim card! To replace that with an iPhone would make my... fortnight?
It's a demo of the new iPHone TimeTravel that brings back the original Beatles from the the 1960s! =)
Actually, you've got it completely wrong.
Basically, there's been a long standing tradition in the computing community that computers have to be so easy "my mother can use it". Apple is essentially going to announce a switch away from this philosophy, eschewing the GUI in favor of pure command line interfaces for everything.
For example, the new iPhone2 will have a 102 key keyboard and a short, 10 character, LCD screen, and to make phone calls you'll just type "CL /GSM /NETWORK=(310,380) -v /VOICE +12125551212" rather than going through the hassle of trying to navigate a phone book or something.
Apple will also be phasing out the Mac, introducing the new Apple IV series. These will run PRODOS++ (with an AppleSoft BASIC shell), Darwin, and, being Intel based, a new version of Bootcamp will allow you to install any version of MSDOS.
It's all very exciting, I can't wait.

I would say Touch hands down too, but the.. scrap that - No matter how much better the iPhone is, I can't justify spending that much money for it. I don't NEED slow internet speeds everywhere I go - only places like work or home where there is Wi-Fi.
Hope your wrong, it would spoil my predictions in my first ever MacRumors post back in August.
I guess I should have read the whole invitation. I guess they will close off the glass stairs and elevator (lift) for media-only access. Shame. Or the whole store?
trouble is, Steve often likes to say something along the lines of "isn't this just great, and you can buy it from the Apple Store today"
and that's a problem cos the Touch i have on order isn't due to arrive until the start of October, so do i cancel it, and also, my office is at least 20 minutes away from the Regents Street store even if i run to the central line and the tube turns up as i step on the platform. and i'm sure in that time they'll have sold out damnit!!
here's hoping the iPhone isn't actually available to buy until December so then i can enjoy the Touch for a couple of months

I'm guessing it's the Beatles...
If they announce the iPhone for the UK... it better be 3G.
Then there's no WAY people are going to buy the crippled iPod touch if the 3G iPhone is out.
so i highly doubt that Apple would release so soon... before the touch is even out.

That might be coming, but for me, good news for UK Apple users is good news for Apple users.
