It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that we’ll finally be seeing the iPad mini at Apple’s media event, something for which tech pundits have been clamoring pretty much since the original iPad was originally announced. The question is whether consumers want one as badly, and whether Apple has found a way to make them want one.

Apple has been highlighting features of the forthcoming iOS 6 for many months now, and on September 12th, we’ll finally see some features of the newest device to run it. The iPhone 5 will be unveiled at 10:00 am PT (1:00 ET) at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and Appletell will be running a live blog of the event.

WWDC 2012 is finally upon us, relieving us from months or rumors and speculation regarding what’s head for iOS, OS X, and Apple’s iDevice and Macintosh hardware. The WWDC 2012 keynote will likely create many new questions as it answers old ones, and we’ll be right here covering it all.

After months of rumor and speculation, Apple will finally be announcing its plans for the iPad 3 today from the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. The event will begin at 10:00am PST (1:00pm EST), at which point you’ll be able to join Appletell right here for our live blog of the event.

I’m going to be honest with you, it’s hard for me to get a grasp on this year’s keynote. The rumors do not speak of stunning new hardware and major advances, they speak of OS upgrades and…clouds. And in a way, that makes it all the more intriguing. As such, we’ll be at this very spot come 10:00 a.m. PDT (1:00 p.m. EDT) for live coverage of the event.

Rumors of the iPad 2 have been circulating pretty much since the launch of the first iPad, and today we get to put them all to rest. Apple’s media event will begin at 10:00 a.m. PST (1:00 p.m. EST), and we’ll be covering it live right here at Appletell.

Wednesday, October 20th, Apple will be holding their “Back to the Mac” press event. As usual, the event begins at 10:00 a.m. PDT, 1:00 EDT. Officially, we don’t much about the event. The invitation hints at the next version of Mac OS X—Lion—but the rest is all just rumor and speculation. You can join us right here as we live blog the event. In the meantime, here’s a quick roundup of the rumors we’ve heard so far…

Apple’s kicking off the month of September with a media event today, and Appletell will be covering it live right here. To be fair, you may not need us this time, as Apple is running their own live stream of the event.

Whatever your reason, be sure to check in with us at 1:00 p.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. PDT) for live coverage and in-depth follow up articles.

“And one more thing…uh, oops.” We likely won’t hear anything such as that at Apple’s iPhone 4 press conference today, but I’m not entirely sure we should. That we’re live blogging an impromptu Apple event regarding isolated antenna/reception issues just indicates to me that the company has become so important in the smartphone industry that a.) any gaff is viewed catastrophically enough to warrant a public explanation, and b.) when Apple wants to explain something, people listen.
