News flash: Apple confirms Sept 12 media event
In a digital invitation sent out to US-based media this morning, Apple confirmed that it will hold a special event on September 12 to introduce new products and services."It's Showtime," reads the invite, which displays a two-dimensional white Apple logo swept by four crisscrossing Hollywood movie premiere spotlights on a navy blue background.
The event is scheduled for 10:00 am local time at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, Calif.
Apple is expected to use the event to usher in a new chapter in its digital media strategy, which should include new iMacs, iPods, iTunes movies and 'one more thing.'

But I just bought the old flash!

I'll give you that one... We're working quickly this morning
"It's Showtime"
that is pretty obvious indicator that movie DL service is coming.
I just posted this on the new cell phone thread:
"According to MacDailyNews:

But it's back now. I'm not sure what changed. I'm not there every day.
Can anyone tell if anything has been changed?"
It could possibly indicate a nice HD 23" iMac? (Someone please agree with me so I am happy for at least the next week 
)
What better way to watch movies than on a 23" iMac?

well it would be great to watch movies on a 23'' iMac but the problem is that it would look terrible if you download movies to watch on 23'' iMac.
it would be great watching it with DVD but not with iTunes movie service. so it's an irony.
It'll only be 'showtime' if the iTMS sells DVD-resolution/quality movies.
It would be pretty stupid to release a 23" iMac (assuming Apple will introduce such a product) and then sell 320x240 (or a widescreen variant of a postage stamp-sized video) to go with it.
I guess this means an update to iTunes next week...but does this mean iTunes will stop sucking for video? Doubtful.

yeah but think of the file sizes.
