So, Apple have confirmed their “special event” for September the 12th. The collective minds of the internet are predicting that said event will see the unveiling of the iTunes Movie Store, new iPods, Nanos, a humongous 23 inch iMac, a magic device that streams video across your network, and an attractive range of Apple pyjamas.

But I know what they’re actually unveiling. Oh yes. It’s so obvious.

Apple have sent out invites with the caption “It’s Showtime”. Which can only mean one thing. Forget iTunes, Apple are going to take digital entertainment in a whole new direction.

I give you: ShowTunes.

ShowTunes will feature the classic songs from all your favourite shows: Westside Story, Gone With The Wind, Guys And Dolls; you name it, it’ll be there. Steve Jobs has worked tirelessly, and endured untold horrors to deliver the most complete selection of musicals you could ever wish for.

Not only that, but ShowTunes will enable an unprecedented level of synchronisation with your iPod. You’ll be able to store song lyrics (for those important sing-a-long sessions), dance moves, and video versions of memorable performances.

Mark my words, Tuesday night will see the unveiling of Apple’s most important product yet. You’ll all want one. Now, all together now: The hiiiiiiills are alive…

Share and Enjoy:

To some, that might be a scenario of unimaginable horror, but to me that actually sounds great. It would need a "cue for song" radar detector of some sort though, so that you could burst into your favourite number from Cabaret at a split-second's notice.

It's cool for straight men to like musicals too, you know...

A quick note, Apple has already unveiled the new 24 inch iMac according to a new post today on uncrate.com. You can see it here http://www.uncrate.com/men/gear/desktops/24inch...

at this point a 23 incher would be ridiculous. My main prediction is the iTunes Movie Store, which should have been available a long time ago. As for new iPods, the only improvement I can see to current models would be the much rumored full screen iPod, or maybe memory enhancements or screen enhancements. We might see some new accessories though.

Serious prediction: bigger drives for current "iPod With Video" devices (probably 80gb and 120gb), iTunes movie store, new Nanos (maybe "With Video"), an updated version of FrontRow - positioned as a iTunes equivalent for movies, which might mean it's called "FrontRow Movie Store" or something - and possibly this mythical movie streaming device. But I doubt that last one.
