Still unconfirmed, I won't believe it until I see the invitations posted everywhere... because they will be posted EVERYWHERE

Paczkowski is well-respected and is a reliable source. If he's saying it with certainty then there's an extreme likelihood it is true.

It will be interesting to see how Cook performs since his style is very low-key compared to Jobs. There is no doubt Schiller, Forstall, Ive and Cue will be there to lend assistance.

Expected: A5 CPU, higher spec CMOS camera. Let's hope it has larger screen, longer battery life, Bluetooth 4, faster 801n. Or maybe NFC chip for wallet type application? I suspect Square people already has some insight.

Its more than iPhone 5 event: iOS 5, iCloud, new iPod touch, new iPod refreshes or even new Apple TV.

Updated: Not sure why its voted down. I don't work for Apple.

I think there will be MacBook Pro bumps too. Although I hear the MBP redesign is now pushed back to 2012, unfortunately.

I would trade all of those features for a case design that didn't require me to use a cover without shattering the screen and/or back. I had dropped my 3G/3GS dozens of times with just some scuffs- I've cracked the screen or back on my iPhone 4 thrice :(

Okay here's my prediction from last year, maybe this time I'll be right:

Translucent Home-Button (maybe out of glass).

Contains multiple color LEDs for notification system. If you get an email your Home-Button 'pulses' green and so on.

Personally, I feel product announcements should be made by the head of the team that developed the product in the company. That's what Google does, for example.

It gives some well deserved spotlight to that person for their hard work.

It also prevents the company from developing an image that it is entirely dependent on one person for all it's product development, be it true or not.

I read similar rumors on MacRumors.

A shame but maybe the new MBP in 2012 will incorporate Ivy Bridge.
