The rumor mill is generally agreed, though, that the announcement will involve textbooks and iBooks in some way. There have even been rumors of a “GarageBand for e-books,” a tool that would streamline the creation of e-book files. Now, just before the event, there are a few new details emerging. Jason O’Grady of ZDNet posted the following Tweet late last night:

Jason O’GradyA little birdie told me that Roger Rosner will announce Pages ’12, iBooks 2 (with Lion support) and textbook rentals in NYC today. 9 hours ago via Itsy! · powered by @socialditto

Pages has been overdue for an update for awhile now, so a new version of Pages (and iWork in general) is not at all unlikely. Likewise, users have been clamoring for iBooks on OS X since iBooks was announced with the first iPad in 2010.

Whatever Apple has in store is bound to be interesting, though. The announcement is scheduled for 10 AM Eastern time. Check back soon for more details.

Will we see the iPhone 5, or will we be provided only the iPhone 4S? Perhaps the big shocker will be announced, and discover Sprint paid $20 billion for exclusivity.

Here are interesting, insightful, and funny tweets from users keeping up with the event.
