There wasn't much reason to doubt that September 9 date we'd been hearing for Apple's annual fall iPod event, but now AppleInsider is saying it can independently confirm the date. Sure, it's just a rumor backing up another rumor, but it's more than Apple has to say on the topic so far. Meanwhile, AppleInsider also is backing up word that there won't be a tablet at the event, that an iTunes "social networking" feature of some sort is in the cards, and that the iPods are getting cameras. Not a lot of controversy to be found here, but perhaps a modicum of assurance for folks desperately trying to pin down their iPod events schedule for the next couple of weeks.

HELLO!
THE BEATLES ROCK BAND!!!
I Smell a BIG announcement! They already remastering all of the tracks!
Beatles / iTunes? It's about time!!!!!
I don't think the fanboys will EVER leave
Anybody know if the new ipod is rumored to come with a mic?
The biggest selling feature of this new iPod Touch is that it will not be made by Microsoft. Customers will be protected by not having a Zune HD spreading viruses around on PCs. I kid, I kid! But really, the Zune fanboys gloat about the powerful Tegra that will run the Zune HD applications that no one will develop. Ow! I kid, I kid. But seriously, Zune HD is going to fail.
I just noticed BB's post in page 2 and it looks like the Zune enterprise is collapsing even faster now:
"Zune marketing exec says good-bye to Microsoft"
"Microsoft just didn't present enough compelling reasons for owners to switch [to the Zune]"
"Microsoft reported that Zune sales plunged 54 percent"

Chris Stephenson said nay to the Zune HD and left.
A camera in a music player? Sounds dumb, but that´s just me.
It´s all about UI nowadays, so the Zune HD definitely comes out on top.
....and before you call me out as an microsoft fan boy, I have ordered a iPhone 3GS ;-)
does anyone even use PMP's anymore? doesn't every cell phone work half decently as an mp3 player now?
