Members of the UK press have received a rather cryptic invitation to attend a press conference at Apple’s London store on Tuesday, September 18. Other than date, time, and direction info the invite merely states that “mum is no longer the word.” There is a lot of speculation as to what will be announced during the press conference.
Most people are putting their money on a UK iPhone announcement, either announcing the mobile service carrier or a sales date for Europe. Most likely Apple will be announcing when the iPhone will be on sale in Europe and save other announcements until the Apple Expo in Paris on the 25th.
Of course there are several other possible reasons for this hush-hush invitation only gathering. Some folks think Apple may be announcing BBC show availability on iTunes while others think the Beatles songbook will finally be added to iTunes’ six million song playlist. Still others think Apple may be releasing the iPod Touch to Europe. Of course it could be something completely different!
We’ll just have to wait until Tuesday to find out the news. Until then, mum’s the word!
