It’s all rumors currently but John Paczkowski of All Things Digital is citing “sources close to the company” claiming that the date of the Apple media event will be Wednesday, September 9.

The event will be held in San Francisco–most likely at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, where it has occurred in years past

I’m expecting a new iPod touch and iPod nano (both with cameras), iTunes 9, Cocktail, and possibly an iMac refresh (most likely just specification bumps, although there have been rumors of “compelling new features”).
