A stand-alone set top box that will stream pictures, audio, and video from an existing Mac or PC library? Now that’s interesting.

Looks like the iTunes Music Store is down this morning. Undoubtedly this has to do with Apple’s surprise announcement at 10:00am PDT. Perhaps we are in for a new iTunes Movie Store (Media Store?) after all. The rumor mills have been revving for the past couple of weeks about today’s announcements. Everything from updated multi-color iPod Nanos to a new video-capable Airport Express have been hyped, but as always, all we can do is sit on our hands and wait for 1:00pm EDT to roll around before we will know the truth. Personally, I’ll be watching Engadget’s coverage of the event as they always seem to have news and images that are up to the minute.

As always, we’ll share our thoughts on the announcements once the Reality Distortion Field has receded and we have had some time to examine the merits of any new products/services.  Until then, enjoy the ride!
