Apple holding special event September 1, 2010

Apple has just started sending out invitations for a special event -- it's annual special music event typically involving iTunes and iPads -- on September 1, 2010.

A new iPod touch 4 (with FaceTime and Retina Display?) is a given, as is iOS 4.1 -- perhaps with some new, previously unseen features? -- and maybe new versions of Apple TV/iTV (for $99 running iOS and TV rentals?), iTunes (with some cloud streaming services?), and iLife (with an HTML5 content creation app?)? What about iOS 4.x for iPad and news on white iPhones?!
