<p>We always see (almost entirely incorrect) <a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/01/14/another-keynote-another-fake-leaked-outline/">&#8216;outlines&#8217; of keynotes</a> in the runup to any Apple event, now we&#8217;re getting them before the runup <em>starts</em>.  It&#8217;s a pretty safe be that Apple will be doing <em>something</em> in late September or October, they always try to have new iPod announcements before the holiday season.  So go grab your salt shaker, pour out a few grains (actually, you might want to use them all), and take a gander at what Anonymous has told to expect in a &#8220;late September event,&#8221; after the break.</p>

<p>Our take on the list you&#8217;re about to read: real iPhone file access would be a godsend and it&#8217;s a natural next step for the platform. iTunes Unlimited Music Subscriptions have been oft-rumored but given how strident Jobs has been about people wanting to <em>own</em> music instead of subscribe to it, we&#8217;re still doubters. Then again, he did say the same thing about mobile video right before the iPod got video support.  Basically, there&#8217;s nothing there that we really think is a lock.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a better question: what do <em>you</em> think Apple has in store for us this coming holiday season?
