“Rest up weary tech investors because come Monday afternoon, Apple might offer up the ultimate party,” Jim Goldman writes for CNBC.

“We touch on Apple’s remarkable story throughout every quarter, but earnings provides the chance to back up so much sizzle with a whole lot of steak, they put meat on the bone, show the fire beneath all that smoke, and give Macolytes the chance to stare down the non-believers,” Goldman writes. “And laugh.”

“Apple has captured a kind of perpetual motion in the market completely elusive to all others who have tried to match its performance,” Goldman writes. “Monday’s numbers should be a knock-out, but longer term, there simply is no better company in a better position than Apple.”

It’s official. Apple today sent out invites to a special media event scheduled to begin at 10am PST on Wednesday, January 27th in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, California.

“The invitation looks like an iTunes gift card and features one of Apple’s iconic, iPod-toting silhouettes and the words, ‘It’s only rock and roll, but we like it,’ a reference to a 1970s Rolling Stones song,” Mintz reports. “That still left room for creative speculation.”

Some of the speculation includes:
• Steve Jobs’ return to the stage
• Apple could discontinue the iPod classic
• An iPod classic with an even bigger hard drive than the 120GB it currently sports
• Built-in digital cameras on iPod touch and iPod nano
• iTunes 9 release with or without Blu-ray support
• New digital bundles: “albums” with videos, liner notes and art
• ‘iTablet’ or ‘MacBook touch’
• The Beatles on iTunes Store

Mintz reports, “But the use of the Rolling Stones line in the invitation has quieted most proponents of this [last] scenario. It might just be standard Apple misdirection, but a person familiar with the situation told the AP there’s no Beatles-Apple deal… [As for the tablet], analysts including Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster and Shaw Wu of Kaufman Bros. both see a 2010 release as more likely.”

Everybody wants to see that apple tablet or ipad but according to sources close to company the event will be on September 9 and topic wouldn’t be on tablet but on ipod and itunes.

For the ipod we can expect new features to it, higher capacity, increase in price and of course the ipod with camera, but i think its not just the camera that apple would present, there would be more stuff with apple and cool services that they present.

And another thing will Steve Jobs be there? We just have to see and wait for things
