September 9th for iPod event, late September for MacBooks?

News around the web is that September 9th is the iPod Nano Rainbow/iPod Touch GPS launch day.  September 9th is my birthday, so I can buy that..  But what about MacBooks?  Apple doesn't really mix iPod and Mac launches at least not in the last few years.  Additionally, we've heard LATE September is when we'll we'll see the new MacBook/Pros.  Is it possible that Apple will have two events in September? 

As always these things can get bumped around due to many things including parts availabilities and...ahem...software quality assurance.

Sept 9 and Sept 17-20?

So my guess would be september 9 on the iPods and sept 17-20 on the macbooks at the Apple Expo, worldwide rollout. What do you think?

Seems to me that Apple needs to revamp the notebook line first the ipods got a fairly recent refresh. Don't you think that it'll be more logical from them to launch the books first followed by the pods? Just a thought...

What is that picture? Looks like a surface terribly zoomed with some reflections on it. Is it some kind of clue or something? Because if it is so I just cannot figure out what material it might be. Go ahead and please tell us!

The picture is a spot of sunlight on a tiled floor. The sunlight has passed through beveled glass creating a prism effect. Neat shot, but not an iPod.

Ok, first and last try! Let me guess: that it the reflection of a new iPod nano´s back on the floor when hit by light. Am I right, am I right? =)

Not the 9th. The back to school promotion doesn't end until the 15th. Think about it.

They did it last year. Two or three weeks left on the promo. Don't you remember all the txt spk ppl howling that they couldn't get the new Touch in the back to school promo? A few people had held off especially. And I was thinking, these guys need to worry more about spelling and grammar than touch-screen iPods.

Seems like they always come

Seems like they always come out with the new iPods in the last week of the Back to School sale, which ends 9/15. So I always advise people if they can wait, to buy their new MacBook then and get a new iPod free. Seems to work for each of the last 2-3 years.

Couldn't have worked. The

Couldn't have worked. The wording of the BTS offer specifically indicates that the offer only refers to the current model. The point of the BTS is to get rid of stock, after all, in time for the new product release. And also so people can snicker at and mock those poor students humiliated when they show up to school with last month's iPod.

But if you have examples of people tricking Apple into giving them the newest model free in the last week before Sept 15, then I'm afraid those folks are lying to you. Or you're making assumptions about how their experience went without checking with them.
