Apple announces Sept 9th special event

ArsTechnica has the news that Apple has announced a special event on September 9th, as was predicted by several sources recently. The focus appears to be the iPod, though some sites are speculating that the rumoured Macbook refresh may also be part of the event. I’m leaning more toward the music subscription service myself, as Nokia is bringing its ‘Comes With Music’ service to the UK this autumn. Other vendors have tried the subscription model with limited success, so if anyone can make it work it’s Apple.
