AppleInsider StaffTrue to rumors, Apple Computer will host a special invitation-only event at the end of the month to introduce some new product offerings, AppleInsider has learned.
"Come see some fun new products from Apple," reads the digital invite sent to analysts and members of the media. The invite itself is not very revealing, showing only an enlarged iCal-like icon rendering.
Rumors that Apple was planning a special event for the latter half of February have been brewing for several weeks now. Fueling the rumors were reports that Apple axed several music-related product introductions from its opening presentation at January's Macworld Expo.
Specifically, sources have described to AppleInsider a new iPod Boombox device that is expected to retail in the $300 range and provide plug-and-play audio for the living room.
Other products expected from Apple in the near future include a sub-$500 Intel-based Mac mini desktop computer and a sub-$1000 13-inch widescreen iBook. However, it's unclear if these Mac systems will make their debut at the Feb.28th event, or at another event closer to the Spring.

Apple plans a special invitation-only event to introduce new products next week. The event happens on Tuesday, February 28, 2006 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.
The invitation gives away precious little about what Apple has up its sleeve for the event.
?Come see some fun new products from Apple,? says the invitation received by Macworld. The e-mail features a large rendering of an iCal-style icon with the date set to February 28, 2006.
The event takes place at Apple Town Hall on Apple?s Cupertino campus.
I hope this isn't another hoax like last week's.
"Fun products" sounds more iPod-dy than Mac-y. Could be the iBook and/or Mac Mini, but my bets are on a "true" iPod video, maybe with some other entertainment devices like airport with video streaming. Then again, I believe I have a 100% inaccuracy rate in predicting Apple announcements...
Finally! Apple's going to release their new Dell branded web tablet!
February 28th? Why, that's my birthday! What a fantastic gift!
