Leica to announce new cameras on September 9th, absolute best day to stand out in the headlines
We know Leica's target demographic is decidedly less consumer and more devoted professional photography, but even still, September 9th isn't exactly the most apt timing to maximize press coverage on a next generation camera lineup when your competition of the day will be Apple's annual iPod event and the release of Beatles Rock Band. Still, the urge to make announcements on 9-9-2009 at 9:00AM ET has gotta be too hard to pass up, and possibly not topped until 10:00AM on October 10th of next year. Video teaser after the break; no idea what we're expecting to see from Leica (M8 successor, perhaps?), but we can all but guarantee it won't be priced for mass consumption. [Via Pocket-Lint]

Apple prepares for iPod event, puts up banners
According to iPhone Savior, Apple is preparing for their Tuesday, September 9th event by placing banners up outside of the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. As we get closer to the event, it looks more and more likely to pan out as a true iPod event, bringing updates to the iPod nano, and other surprises. MacRumors notes that Apple is urging the media to attend this event, denoting it as a "big deal." The event will be held this coming Tuesday (September 9, 2008) at 10 a.m. Pacific time, 1 p.m. Eastern time. TUAW will be providing coverage throughout the day, so be sure to check in often.
