Apple Announces 'Rock & Roll' Event, Act Surprised

I'm a little late on this story, but theirs merit in what I have to say.

 Often you come across these rumors of Apple events, but no one dares solidify their stance on the information they have. It's always rounded of with a pinch of salt.
If you don't think it's more than 95% true, and or likely to happen, where's the value in telling people about it? Rumors are nice, but they're also annoying.

Apple-event

Putting musings about an Apple Tablet aside, the other big pseudo news has been talks of an Apple event to be scheduled for the 9th of September.
 
Well, let's break that down a little. First off, each year without fail, for the past few years, Apple have held student deals offering a free iPod with every purchase of a new Mac. This years offer is set to expire on the 8th of September. Hmm... isn't that a nice coincidence? Sometimes I get the feeling that the more questions a site posts, the more their audience will return in search of answers. For me, it's getting a little old.
 
It's interesting however, that there have been no 'leaked' images of a new iPod line, bar the iPod touch with camera of course.
