It is a testament to the power of the Apple brand that when we searched for the term 'music event', news of Apple's event to be held today at 10:00 PDT (GMT -7) was listed first. Given the image that Apple have chosen to promote the event shows a guitar with an Apple logo shaped sound hole, most pundits, including ourselves, believe the event will focus on music related products and services.

Of course, there is always the possibility of some iPad related announcements. iOS 4 for iPad is expected to ship this month, so there is an outside chance of seeing it in action today. iTV with iPad links, web based iTunes and cheaper video rentals are all possibilities, but what about something a bit more 'out there'.

Given the guitar image that Apple have used, we think that is a slim chance that we may see GarageBand for the iPad announced today. Music creation has become a large part of the iPad experience for many and we see no real reason why Apple shouldn't promote that with a limited version of GarageBand for the iPad. iMovie for the iPhone 4 provides the basic tools of the full blown version of iMovie for the Mac, GarageBand for the iPad could work on a similar principle.

Apple are to provide a live video feed of the event from www.apple.com. It has been 5 years since Apple last did something similar, so it will be interesting to see if they can actually pull it off this time around. Point your iPad at Apple's homepage at 10:00 PDT to find out.
