What new goodies await us on the 9th?

So, Apple has confirmed that there will indeed be an event next Wednesday, September 9th. The image on the invitations indicates iPods, or at least "music", will be the focus of the shindig.

Will we see new iPods with cameras? How about iTunes 9 with some whiz-bang new social networking features? And what about that bright yellow underwater elephant in the room?

While the date is almost too tasty to pass up, I can't imagine (pun intended) that The Beatles will even be mentioned during the event. Why? The slogan the iPod silhouette girl is rockin' to is "It's only rock and roll, but I like it." Now, I'm a little younger than the relevant time period, but I've heard that neither The Rolling Stones nor The Fab Four would be thrilled with the mix up.

So, what do you think? What kind of magic are we likely to see next week?

What will Apple announce on September 9th?

iPods with cameras	1798 (45.9%)
The Beatles available on iTunes	568 (14.5%)
iTunes 9, with social networking features	859 (21.9%)
Original 5GB iPods available for sale again	234 (6.0%)
A tablet, finally!	455 (11.6%)
