iBook updates or other Apple products just around the corner?

We're not saying it's this way or that by any means (you know how these well-informed rumors work), but there are definitely a lot of wheels turning right now in the direction of Apple having some decent pre-holiday product announcements very, very soon. The prediction du jour is that the iBook line will be updated as soon as tomorrow, and will have G4 CPU speeds up to 1.3GHz; also, speculation is that with Apple's U2 event next week, the iPod might possibly get a U2 edition (we're slightly of doubting this considering how careful Apple is to make sure they cater to the plural tastes of their customers), perhaps even decked out with all their albums to date. But as usual,
we'll just have to sit tight for the time being and wait it out.
