Apple announces special event for September 1
by Magdalena Rosova
It is expected that Apple Inc will show off a new line of iPods on September 1. The company may also unveil its plans to improve its TV project. In recent years, Apple has used September to inform about the news and present new iPod models for the rest of the year. Usually it also introduce new features for its online media store iTunes. Last year in September, Apple has informed about the comeback of Steve Jobs, who had returned after he underwent a liver transplant. This year, blogger expect improvement of Apple TV, but analysts do not think Apple would announce a big change of its TV in September. Reuters reported that Apple is negotiating with the major American TV netw! orks about offering their TV shows for rent via iTunes for 99 cents per episode. Reuters further said that the negotiations are still in process. Apple and the TV networks refused to comment this news. Apple's September event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. It is the same place, where the iPad was introduced in April. iPod is enjoying its dominant position in the music and media player market. But in the past years the company has focused more on the iPhone and iPad. In the second quarter Apple has sold 9.41 million iPods. Last year it was 10.2 million. Long-neglected Apple TV is not that popular. Every year Apple sell only 1 million Apple TV units. Therefore analysts expect the company would enhance the device. It is largely expected that Apple will introduce enhanced TV this holiday season, or the first half of 2011.
