Apple Issues Invitation For September 1 “Special Event”
Gee, is there anything happening on the 2nd?
I think Apple did this deliberately. It’s been prepping this announcement all along, had it all ready to go, but have been waiting to see who they could stab with a pre-emption.
I thought they’d announce on September 8th. And some people today said September 7th.
I wouldn’t expect any 7″ iPad Mini to be available immediately. But all they have to do is “preview” it as One More Thing and that will kill all competitors and pretenders to the iPad throne.
