Apple rumor-roundup for September 5th event

Check your pulse Apple fanatics, "the beat goes on" September 5th... now just two days away. Unusual for Apple rumors, this event has pretty much all the analysts and so-called insiders in sync with their predictions. Mass disillusion or divine soothsaying, we don't know. Certainly everyone's been expecting this to be a big quarter for product transitions. While we wait, we figured you might as well get up to speed on all the predictions for Wednesday's big show:

• iPod Touch with flash-memory, WiFi and OS X-based Cover Flow user interface

• iPod nano "phatty"

• Wireless iTunes store sales for iPhone and wireless iPod(s)

• (PRODUCT) Red iPod shuffle
  

• iTunes ringtone service

• Beatles on iTunes -- yes, again
  

While not necessarily rumored for Wednesday, there's always a chance that we'll hear a bit more about Apple's automotive collaborations with Volkswagen and Jaguar. Just sayin's all.
