Apple Special Event Today--It's Showtime!

Apple will host a special event today in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts theater. Certain members of the media were invited to the event with the brief description "It's Showtime." To us and just about everyone else, this points to announcements involving movies or at least videos. Apple may announce the speculated addition of movie downloads to the iTunes Music Store or it may announce some new hardware for viewing video or streaming video via WiFi. Right now, no one outside of Apple's inner circle knows what's cooking but today we will all find out. Rest assured that whatever it is, it will be innovative and elegantly simple. We will post the salient points of Apple's announcement sometime later today. [Bill Fox]
