We love September 9th? Why? Because 2 years in a row Apple has chosen September 9th as the official date for new iPod releases! This year is shaping up to be no exception. Tomorrow at 1pm EST/10am PST Steve Jobs will host the special event for the media. There are plenty of rumors this year to be excited about, so let’s run through the list:

The Beatles coming to iTunes (finally!)

Tonight Yoko Ono leaked news that the entire Beatles catalog would be released to iTunes, possibly as early as tomorrow, to coincide with the international release of The Beatles edition of the popular “Rock Band” video game.

New iPods with cameras and increased storage

The iPod Touch is rumored to be getting an upgrade that includes a camera, similar to the iPhones. Will the iPod Nanos and iPod Classics also receive the upgrade? Our sources tell us they will.

Also, expect the entire iPod line to get a capacity upgrade. 60 GB iPod Touch’s anyone?!

iTunes Pre-cut Ringtones

Do you hate the fact that you have to purchase a song and then pay another 99 cents so you can cut it up into a ringtone? Tomorrow Apple is rumored to be announcing pre-cut ringtones. Will this make the labels as happy as it will users?

iTunes 9

iTunes is due for an upgrade. Why wasn’t it just included with Snow Leopard? Strong chance of this happening.

Today Apple proudly announced that they have sold their 100 millionth iPod. This makes the iPod the fastest selling music player of any kind, since the iPod was released only 5 and a half years ago.

That’s a lot of iPods Congratulations Apple!

Kevin Garrad of the United States Military was on patrol in Iraq and was shot by an insurgant armed with an AK47. The iPod in Kevins left chest pocket actually slowed down the bullet enough that it didn’t completely penetrate his body armor. Kevin ended up suffering no wounds, but I’m sure he’s pretty shooken up over the attack! It’s amazing how much of a life saver an iPod can be these days!

This is a pretty amazing story, with even more amazing photos over at Flickr, where you can view the photo set! Let’s hope Apple’s PR people catch wind of this story and send him a free iPod.
