Apple has announced that on September 9th the company will hold a media event at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. The invitations which contain a take on the Rolling Stones song title “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it,” were emailed to select members of the media earlier today.

The official keynote will begin at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (1 p.m. Eastern) and is likely to follow the pattern of previous years events.

Rumours point towards new iPod nano and iPod touch models featuring cameras and recently a report event suggested that the iPod classic would receive the same treatment.

Also expected is iTunes 9 with support for playback of Blu-Ray discs and possibly have integrated social networking.

Finally the September 9th date has stirred rumours that a deal could be announced that will finally see The Beatles present on the iTunes Store.
