Is Apple about to announce the iPod phone?

"Speculation on what Apple Computer Inc. will do next with its popular iPod rose to a fevered pitch Monday after the firm sent out invitations to a special event next week at San Francisco's Moscone West Convention Center.

The Cupertino firm sent e-mails to reporters and analysts on Monday morning. The messages included a photo of a jeans pocket with the message: "1, 000 songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again."

The event is scheduled for Sept. 7 at 10 a.m."
