APPLE FAMILY TREE BLOSOMS

UK Journalists and VIPS will be heading to BBC TV Centre late tomorrow afternoon to hold a trans-atlantic video audience with Steve Jobs.

Apple’s “Special Events” are always shrouded in mystery. It’s never a done deal what’ll be revealed until the moment of truth (and we’ve been burned before, expecting an iPhone when all we got was that damn pair of speakers!)

However, refusing to accept a none-event, the DG believes that Jobs will unveil the new iPod line-up and some content surprises including:

1. The new full-screen touchscreen ipod (which runs a simple version of OSX and the iTunes coverflow carousel … also rumours flying around suggesting WiFi capabilities and a built-in radio)
2. The Beatles back-catalogue on iTunes
3. BBC content for the newly launched iTunes TV show library
4. iPod “video” Nano

All this is expected to be available across both sides of the pond before Christmas. Rumours of the iPhone Nano, according to the DG, are just that … rumours.
