It's not enough that we're anxiously speculating on what products Apple will be releasing and when they will be doing it, now, we also want to know when Apple will announce the date on which they will announce a new product.

Such is the case for Apple uber-pundit Gene Munster. The Piper Jaffray analyst now believes that the company will soon announce... an event to announce something new.

Munster definitely has history on his side. late August/early September has brought special events from Apple three years in a row now. Previous end-of-summer announcenments have included the iTunes movie store, the iPod Nano, and the AppleTV.

Among the products Munster expects, retooled iPod shuffles a new MacBook. Don't however, hold your breath on a touchscreen notebook/tablet, he doesn't see that happening at least for a year.
