It's something totally revolutionary
Personally, I'm hoping for the powerbook in the pocket . . .

this might be about shuffle/mini
1000 songs in the pocket changed lives forever, here we go again
it sorta implies that it is about 1000 songs. I think this is about new ipod shuffle/mini player. Samsung was selling 4gb flash drive aggressively to Apple. I think this might be about shuffle 4gb with single line of display, or ipod mini thats about same dimension but lighter and better battery life. I am beginning to think this is not going to be about video.
Moto is holding a news conference on the same day. I cant see Apple taking away Motos spotlight by introducing video ipod on the same day. That would not bode well with Moto.
those who thinks this is not about iphone because thats a phone: the biggest selling point of iphone is itunes. this is one way of Apple doing business by urging people to buy songs on-the-fly with iphone.
i think Paris Expo is where Apple might introduce video ipod.

I am not sure any you of get it!
The first Ipod sported 1000 song capacity. THE FIRST IPOD did. This is not a reference to the shuffle. This is a reference to a major change. I highly doubt its about a new version of itunes. Video Ipod maybe. Ipod with flash drive maybe..It might be to early but that would be big enough. A Ipod PDA, that would be huge, and make some sense with the way they are keeping their hands off of the phone bussiness. Your average consumer does not use a pda, and mixing one with a ipod would get people majorly into it. It has the potential to be an enticing consumer product, but you gotta get 'em interested. More people use their phones as an organizer, but apple is staying away from making phones. A Ipod PDA would be sick, carrying all your stuff around on a seamless apple device, omg. Though it could be a dual motorola apple unveiling, doesnt feel right though.
hmmmm
IPDA would be sick...
Mini flash would be sweet,
Video pod...ho hum.....

Although I would like it to be the iPod video, it most probably will be the Motorola phone.
Such a close announcement to the Paris Expo would mean that it's something more USA oriented (i.e. a cell phone that works with Cingular's service).
MarketWatch (www.warketwatch.com) is reporting that Apple, Moto and Cingular have entered into an agreement and might be announced on Sept. 7.
Thank would leave the iPod video for the Paris Expo.
my $0.02 😀

This could be big, not likely... but it has potential.
If Apple really wanted this to be the year of HD... (my list in cronological order)
1. Release Video ipods and Movie Store next week. The iPods will play h.264 and everyone will be content at the moment. Movies are $12.99-19.99 for HD quality, and they scale well to play on your iPod. They also will be burnable to blu-ray or HD-DVD when (and if) they come out.
2. In Paris they release a Mac Mini capable of driving an HD movie, they shift so their entire line of products can play HD content and throw it on a HDTV.
3. They release a new app that controls all the iApps, mainly iPhoto and iTunes (or iMedia). You use this app when you want to watch a movie, browse your music, browse your photos. It's a simple small footprint app that looks great on an HDTV or regular TV, that has an even simpler, less cluttered view of all your media (movies, pictures, music). You open it, it auto goes fullscreen no dock, no apple menu, no hard drive icon, just your media.
Here is the kicker. Blu-ray and HD-DVD are not getting anywhere any time soon. Apple drops in and says, "all you need is a $500 mac, a broadband connection, and an HDTV and you can be watching hdtv movies TODAY." For less money that if you were to go buy a dvd. How many consumers would jump on that because they are tired of waiting around for this format war to end when they have had their HDTVs sitting around getting no real use?
Why would i go to a store to buy a movie for 19.99 when i could buy have an HD quality one for 12.99-19.99, download in the privacy of my own home (save on gas), and without much hassle is compatible with my iPod and i can take it with me and not worry about carrying all my dvds. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WAIT FOR THE FORMAT WARS WHEN THEY CAN HAVE HD MOVIES RIGHT NOW!?!?
Apple could single handedly kill the idea of physical DVD media... all because of this little anouncement about a video ipod.

It could happen.
Imagine this: Steve Jobs and Sir Paul together on stage. Both in designer jeans (made by Pauls daughter Stella). Sergeant Pepper music in the background fading into Sir Pauls newest single release 'FINE LINE'. Beatles special edition ipod (G5!!!) holding to the sky. On screen both 'apples merging'. A new era!
So yeah: new Itunes 5.0. (Apple without legal limitations going into its own album releases - steve also promised Sir Paul to donate 1$ on every sold album to 'Make Poverty History')
I dont care for an video pod or itune phone coz this is my dream. If it happens though, sweet. 🙂

new ipod mini, color version
will i guess its going to be an ipod mini, with a color screen...
first apple introduced the shuffles, switched the 20GB to color screen (60GB version also), so i guess its going to be a new ipod mini with an upgraded color screen, its kind of logical... i definitely hope so 🙂...

Is it just me or is the re-programmed excuse of a e3whatever Motorola phone that supports iTunes just simply a non-event?
I hope that they announce something great at this event. They certainly set the stage for it.
Please... none of this boring 'improved' iPods I keep reading.
iPod mini with colour screen?
*yawn*
shuffle with colour screen?
*zzzzz*
iPod 80Gb, 100Gb etc?
*.........*
iPod with flash memory (excl. shuffle)
*I've run out of punctuation marks that look more bored than the period*
Some people are just sooooo unimaginative. Be grateful they don't actually work at Apple doing product development. 😀
"1000 songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again." - tagline seems to indicate something just as revolutionary as the first iPod. *fingers xed*

What a stupid timing!
Right when the IFA closes it's doors, one of the biggest consumer electronic fairs of the world, where Apple is present this time:

Sometimes the guys at Apple make me really wonder... 😕

My sentiments exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those boring possibilities you refer to actually make it on stage. However, to organize the whole event around one (or even all) of them seems a bit of a stretch.
Bring on something big, Apple.

for some reason i can picture Christopher Eccleston (the 10th Doctor Who) saying that. probably the best sounding thing i've heard for a week 😀... oh wait there was my mates joke
"a man with a terminal disease goes into the doctors, he says "doctor doctor, tell me a joke".
and the doctor told him a joke and he died happily."

instead of an iPod video, which some cynics agree is unlikely, what about the NEW iPod Photo.
"what the hell is he talking about?", i hear you cry...
"the current iPod already has a colour screen and photo viewing, eejit"
viewing, yes. creating, no.
the new iPod Photo with a camera , anyone?
well, i thought it was a good idea.

Pretty simple...
- New Shuffles with no screen and higher capacity (prob. 2Gb and 3Gb);
- new Minis with color screen and same capacity;
- new iPod-Tablets with 80Gb, monstrous form factor (just like the old Knowledge Navigator) and video playback;
- and last but NOT LEAST, new denim iPants to hold the above-mentioned gizmos, with an assortment of great retro-kitsch colors: blue dalmatian, flower power and lime!!
