Our boy Vincent Nguyen has no sooner dusted himself down after the furore that is IFA 2007, than he’s off to San Francisco to live-blog the Apple Special Event on September 5th.  That’s right, while you and I would be turned away at the door (possibly because we’re not wearing ties), our intrepid Vincent has holstered his MacBook Pro, ramped up he “fan boy” playlist on his iPhone and is already crouched and ready to bring you every last sodding detail from what’s expected to be quite a parade of new Apple loveliness, at http://www.myitablet.com/live/.

So far the rumour monkeys have been busy planting seeds the shape of iPods into our heads, with word of a major refresh to the PMP line that would likely see them once again extend their lead over the snarling competition.  A smaller, higher-capacity iPod nano replacement is high on the list of possibles, shrinking the flash-based player even closer to the size of its shuffle brethren, while the iPhone DNA is expected to be shared – in part, at least – with the full-grown iPod, gaining a widescreen, touch-sensitive display and the OS X interface.

Meanwhile, in a binary world of slender 1s and chubby 0s, hot tip for iTunes is a freshly signed agreement to bring the music of the Beatles to Apple’s download service.  Long a bone of contention, it’d be a splash of success to Apple’s burning cheeks after the NBC disagreement.  Also predicted is a custom ringtones app for the iPhone, turning tracks into ringtones for your favourite fruit-themed cellphone.

So head on over to http://www.myitablet.com/live/ tomorrow at 10am for SlashGear’s Live Blogging of the Apple Special Event – good news or otherwise, we’ll bring it to you first!
