So, Apple have confirmed their “special event” for September the 12th. The collective minds of the internet are predicting that said event will see the unveiling of the iTunes Movie Store, new iPods, Nanos, a humongous 23 inch iMac, a magic device that streams video across your network, and an attractive range of Apple pyjamas.
But I know what they’re actually unveiling. Oh yes. It’s so obvious.
Apple have sent out invites with the caption “It’s Showtime”. Which can only mean one thing. Forget iTunes, Apple are going to take digital entertainment in a whole new direction.
I give you: ShowTunes.
ShowTunes will feature the classic songs from all your favourite shows: Westside Story, Gone With The Wind, Guys And Dolls; you name it, it’ll be there. Steve Jobs has worked tirelessly, and endured untold horrors to deliver the most complete selection of musicals you could ever wish for.
Not only that, but ShowTunes will enable an unprecedented level of synchronisation with your iPod. You’ll be able to store song lyrics (for those important sing-a-long sessions), dance moves, and video versions of memorable performances.
Mark my words, Tuesday night will see the unveiling of Apple’s most important product yet. You’ll all want one. Now, all together now: The hiiiiiiills are alive…
