Apple gears up for fresh announcement

Apple is scheduled to make some kind of "big announcement" today. The company is - as usual - staying tight-lipped in advance of the reveal, and all I've heard is that it's both hardware and software-related. I haven't done the full round of the web to see what the speculation is, but the following rumours are fairly widespread.

- some new announcements in the iPod range - iPhone (with Motorola) - new iBook

We already know that iTunes 4.9 is pretty much complete, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's an update of some kind to the iPod range (colour screens all round?) and the new release of iTunes, which will include support for podcasts so expect Apple to play heavy on that.

This time last year they unveiled iPod Photo: could we see video iPods this time around? It looks unlikely, but there is also an event scheduled for July 7, so we could be looking at a two-hander here.

Anyway, I'm going to be talking to a Cupertino bigwig at 2pm GMT, and I'll try and blog it as soon as I can.
