Apple to Hold Event February 28

By the Betanews Staff | Published February 21, 2006, 1:54 PM

Apple sent out invites to selected journalists on Tuesday, asking them to "come see some fun, new products from Apple" at an event scheduled for February 28. While past invitations gave some kind of clue as to what Apple may have been planning to introduce, this one does not.

The announcement has analysts and enthusiasts alike guessing as to what Apple may have up its sleeve. AppleInsider speculated that the announcement would likely focus on new music-related products. Apple rumor site ThinkSecret surmised that it may deal with new Intel Macs or a video-based iPod device. "Let the speculation begin," said Jupiter Research vice president Michael Gartenberg.
