iPad 3 rumors solidify around release window, but not features
Apple will kick-start the Sept. 1 music event at 10 a.m. Pacific time, 1 p.m. Eastern.
As always, Apple fans have an inkling of what Mr. Jobs will unveil today, but the specifics remain a mystery.

Maybe we'll also hear about what Apple has in store for Lala, the subscription music service that it bought months ago.
For a closer look at this week's Apple rumors, check out our post from yesterday.
The Monitor will have a full report after today's event, but if you want a live broadcast, head over to Gizmodo, CNET, GDGT, or Apple.com, which will offer video of the whole presentation.
