It seems that Sony Ericsson is gearing up to have a bit of a keynote of theirselves as the above flyer has recently been posted letting us know that the way we listen to music will change forever on September 21st.

Now, this is a bit of a zealous claim considering Sony Ericsson is continously pumping run-of-the-mill MP3 playing headsets so the same should be expected here. However, we can’t write the handset manufacturer off until the keynote actually rolls around. According to SE, the announcement will have to do with Bluetooth audio quality and ‘free energy’.

Check back around September 21st as we’ll keep you updated.

We’ll be back with all the hot details from Mobilize 09 as Motorola is getting ready to announce some of the phones we’ve been talking about here since January.

We were actually waiting for Steve Jobs to return on stage where he belongs. Whether you like or hate the guy, you have to admit he sure knows how to speak to the crowds. And Steve Jobs was present at Apple’s rock and roll event ready to show off the company’s newest toys.

Steve Jobs had a liver transplant from a 20-year old who died in a car crash:

I’m very happy to be here with you all. As some of you might know, I had a liver transplant.

But now he looks ready and confident to deliver all the good news so we should be back with all the details about the hot new iPods. And Apple’s event will reveal a lot of interesting things: iPhone OS 3.1, iTunes 9, ringtones in the iTunes store, Genius feature in the App Store and of course, the new iPods.

Today is Apple’s Only Rock & Roll event where they are expected to launch a new line of iPod touches and nanos. Well, it seems like the company may also be launching a new classic as they have cut the prices across the board for all iPod touch models.

The 8GB, 16GB and 32GB iPod touches have been dropped from $229, $299 and $399 to $189, $249 and $279, respectively. The classic on the other hand is now priced at $229, down from $249 and the 8GB and 16GB nano has had its price dropped from $149 and $199 to $129 and $149.

So folks, now we’ll just have to play the waiting game until the actual even begins.

Just as it was initially suspected, Apple is ready to launch the new iPods at a special event which is scheduled for September 9. The “only rock and roll” event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco and as you can clearly see it’s only going to be about rock and roll. Is this Apple’s way of telling everyone that the tablet is not ready to be unveiled soon? We’ll tell you more in just a little over a week when Apple will be unveiling its new iPods with cameras on board.

It’s almost September but Apple is still keeping secret its upcoming iPod special event. Maybe Apple should make up its mind already as I am sure it does want lots of attention from the media. In case you want to attend this regular fall event, then you should start making travelling plans around September 9 as it looks like that’s the date we are looking for. And if all the rumors are to be believed, Apple’s keynote will concentrate on the next-gen iPods, the ones coming with a camera on top of everything and on the next iTunes version and its social networking features. The future tablet won’t be launched at this iPod only event but until everything becomes official we can still hope!

Despite rumors that Apple was gearing up to launch some sort of OS X running iTablet before year’s end, word comes to us from John Gruber and Jim Dalrymple who say the device will not hit store shelves until 2010.

Below is a quote from Dalrymple discussing the matter:

Very reliable sources familiar with the product have said speculation of the tablet being introduced during the September event are flat out wrong. The Apple tablet, they said, would not see the light of day until the first part of 2010.

The event in September will be focused on music, which means we could see new iPods and perhaps some updates to iTunes. The tablet computer will not even be mentioned as part of the event, my sources said.

So, even if we don’t see the device until 2010, that doesn’t mean there is absolutely no chance that we will hear about it next month at that rumored Apple event.

T-Mobile has two hot phones coming in July, the HTC Dash 3G and the HTC Touch Pro2 and it has planned a few special events to show off the new phones. Nothing special about that or so it would seem. But T-Mobile is going to give away a free HTC Dash 3G to everyone attending the events. Sounds like you should definitely go, right? So here’s where you need to be:

July 14 - San Francisco, CA
July 15 - Chicago, IL
July 16 - Los Angeles, CA
July 21 - Arlington, VA
July 22 - Houston, TX
July 23 - Atlanta, GA
July 28 - Fort Lauderdale, FL

In case you’re interested in just buying one of the two handsets, the Dash 3G is arriving on July 15 while the Touch Pro2 is expected to be available on July 22. We’ll need some pricing details and some confirmation from T-Mobile but we’ll let you know if the dates change.

Sony Ericsson has a new special event scheduled for this Wednesday, June 17. The company will probably launch at least one new phone if not more. Are we going to see that much rumored Xperia X2 officially emerge? What else could Sony Ericsson have up its sleeve? It should be pretty hot considering that Sony Ericsson wants to absolutely launch something ahead of the CommunicAsia event. Sony Ericsson’s event is scheduled for 4:30PM Singapore time and we’ll show you soon the new phones.

June is a very popular month for launching new phones, isn’t it? Or is everyone trying to come up with special phones ready to stand bold against the Pre and the new iPhone?

It looks like HTC too has a special event scheduled for June 24. The company will launch a new phone in London at 11:30AM but we don’t have other details just yet. We can easily suspect that the Touch Pro2 and the Touch Diamond2, the first Windows Mobile 6.5 phones, will be officially announced in the 24. But then again, we could always be wrong about the whole thing. Maybe an Android handset?

April 21 will bring us an important Bluetooth 3.0 announcement but that’s not the only thing we should be paying attention to. T-Mobile has also scheduled an event of its own on the very same date. Will we see the second Android smartphone officially emerge? We’ve seen the weird names T-Mobile has been testing for the HTC Magic and on April 21 we might find out more about all that. But what if the Magic is not what T-Mobile is announcing? Unfortunately the event isn’t public bur rather private. New York is where you should be if you to attend it. We’ll give you all the hot information once we know more ourselves.

If you plan to attend Nokia World 2009 you should free your schedule for September 2-3. That’s when the event will take place. And make sure you book tickets all the way to Stuttgart since that’s where we will find out Nokia news this autumn. Last year the Nokia N97 was announced at Nokia World last year so we have high expectations for this year. What will Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Nokia’s CEO announce this year?

Apple will roll a major firmware update for the iPhone. Version 3.0 is coming and Apple is going to host a special event for it on March 17. Besides version 3.0, an updated SDK will also be shown. No future features have been leaked yet but we heard MMS and tethering via Bluetooth and USB are included in this firmware update. We’ll know more in less than a week so hang on to your shorts. I wonder if copy paste is finally coming.

Nokia has scheduled a music-related event for March 11. What will “Your Music Player Is Ringing” event reveal? Is Nokia going to launch a new music oriented phone? More music services? DRM-free tracks? We don’t have any inside information so we’d have to wait for a couple of days to get to see what the event is all about. Until then we’ll stare at the purple-pink banner here.

AT&T and OASIS have joined forces to create an event made specifically for seniors, with the purpose to show them how easy it is to use a cellphone. It will take place in November 21st, at the University Hospital in Dewitt.

At “Cell Phones for Seniors” there will be a few AT&T volunteers that will tutor the seniors in various aspects of a mobile phone, such as how to send a text message and checking the voice mail, or even more basic stuff such as controlling the volume or storing a number on the address book. It can be considered a basic task for some people, but it isn’t that simple for the elderly.

Since promotion of an AT&T service is expected, seniors will get to know HAC - Hearing Aid Compatible - options.

We’re about six hours away of the Apple MacBook event and we are anxious to see if any of the rumors we’ve had so far will be confirmed. So far we’ve seen the Brick Aluminum design; we’ve heard about the Apple netbook which is supposed to cost around $900; we’ve seen Best Buy prices which also revealed different color schemes and we’ve read quite a lot about the price cut everyone is expecting.

We don’t know that many things about the Air and we hope we will be in for some surprises. As we did with other Apple events, we’re going to keep you updated later on today when we’re going to be covering the event.

Apple hasn’t sent out any invitations yet. October 14th is the day we were expecting for the official launch of the new MacBooks. Sure that was a rumor, but a rumor quite a few people around the world trusted to be true.

But since Apple failed to send any invitations yet we might have to wait even more for the special event. Or are we going to hear about the new Macs from press releases? I really doubt that Steve Jobs would prefer to let his people write up some dull press releases instead of giving us himself a memorable keynote. Or is it that Jobs is really having some health problems which might prevent him for showing up next week?

Is anyone from Apple paying any attention to all this?
