The signs are out that Apple’s upcoming Tuesday event – titled “Let’s Rock” – is going to be a serious occasion on the Cupertino calendar. While there’s still over a day to go before the show kicks off in San Francisco, the company has already hung a huge iPod banner down the side of the city’s Yerba Buena Center.
Featuring the same jumping silhouette as the iconic iPod adverts and the event invitation, the banner is the latest indication that Apple will be announcing new features in its PMP range. Right now, the assumption is that we’ll see new iPod nano models and an update to the iPod touch line, but other suggestions include new iTunes functionality, an iPhone firmware 2.1 announcement and even a new subscription model for downloading music. All we know for sure is that Apple themselves have been telling the media that Tuesday is a “big deal” and that they really ought to come.
Rumors are going around, and ads in Apple’s Dutch iTunes store are sort of confirming, there might be an iPod Touch Price drop coming soon. On the Dutch iTunes ad the price drop was roughly 80 Euro, which is about $120, would you buy a new Touch if they cost $120 less?
