Apple Event for September 9th?

My Work PC says 9/4/2008. :(

That's weird my itunes has always listed the exact date of any software updates as the date it will next check for updates - happened with 1.x/2.0/2.01/2.02/and now with 2.1.

Just realised that you must be in the US cause I read that date as the 9th of April 2008 - I can never get my head round month/day/year format it just doesn't make sense to me...

But on UK itunes the date for updates is 9/9/08 (day/month/year)
 
The date doesn't predict anything. iTunes checks for software-updates one time a week. If you check now, iTunes will check again next Tuesday which happens to be September 9th. It's more like a coincidence actually.

I suppose if an event would take place next Tuesday Apple would have to send invitations at least one week before the event. So if there is an event we should have invitations surfacing today.

Yes, I live in the US.
 
it's said the 9th ever since I updated to 2.02 which was well over a week prior to the 9th, and for 2.0 it had set the date to update about a month in advance...
 
so if it's checking a week from whatever the current date is tomorrow it should say the 10th? or when you get to the 4th it should say the 11th? It's listed the Exact date for every update that's come out. :eek:
 
Notice how there have been NO MEDIA INVITATIONS sent out! Apple always invites media, and if this is meant to happen on the 9th, they would have invited them by now.

Normally they invite media at least one week before the event takes place. Since Cupertino is just waking up right now it's far too early to say there won't be any invitations.

If an event takes place, invitations will be sent out today or tomorrow. Yesterday they didn't because of Labor day in the U.S. So most probable would be today, exactly one week before the event.
 
September 9th is going to be the slowest day of school in the world. I'm hoping for last period computer lab.

Agreed. I'm going back tomorrow, not in the best of moods right now. This event is the one thing keeping me going!

**RUMOR ALERRT**

This is my first official "rumor" but I am almost positive that Apple and Google are working out a turn by turn gps feature using the Street View in Maps for the iPhone. Google has been working overtime covering as much ground as possible including residential in all the major cities around the US.

Rumor is that the next iPhone 2.1 update will feature Turn By Turn Directions using Google's Street View technology so that users will actually be able to see panoramic images of streets they are driving down while they are driving.

Is there an article on this...or more proof? :D
I would love this feature...and this is always a question people ask as to why it doesn't already have turn by turn. :(
