Apple's London Media Event at Regent Street [Updated]
Apple's 'Mum is no longer the word' media event kicks off at 10am London time September 18th. Forum user netdog has posted some photos of the Regent Street store from yesterday which show everything shrouded in large black curtains with a sign that reads:
Due to a private event the store will be closed on Tuesday, 18th September until 4:00pm.
The event kicks off at 10AM London time (5am Eastern/2am Pacific). Due to the early hour, MacRumors will not be providing SMS coverage. Links to live coverage will be posted closer to the event time.
Update: Steve Jobs is reportedly in London now for the event.

Given what is going on as seen in these pics, I think that the iPhone will be in stock and for sale on Tuesday at 4. We'll see.
Glad to see they've got the flag up; it wasn't there on Thursday. And for the first time, from across the road, I noticed the mosaics above the first floor windows. Rather lovely.
I can dream, right? =p
Fingers crossed... my upgrade from O2 is available from Tuesday :D
And yes, the mosaics are rather good. This from ifoapplestore on them
The distinctive mosaics along the second-floor level of the building were installed to advertise an early tenant, Dr. Antonio Salviati, who designed and manufactured mosaics. He was one of the principals responsible for the rebirth of Venetian glass after its nadir under the Austrian rule of Venice, and had British partners and a London shop. Amongst his better known works was the restoration of the mosaics in the Basilica San Marco in Venice, and the mosaics on the Albert Memorial in Hyde Park, London. Salviati also worked on some of the mosaics for St. Paul's Cathedral, London. In the world of vitreous mosaics he is one of the key players, and so the mosaics on Regent House are both nationally and internationally significant.
My guess is there will be demo units available after the Keynote but i HIGHLY doubt it'll actually be in stores/ship immediately after the event....sometime in Oct/Nov maybe.
I agree. Although I'm hoping that that is because they're hoping to release an updated model. Anyone think we'll ever see an unlocked version of the iPhone in Europe? I mean, after all, I'm willing to be locked into a contract anyway, I just want to be able to change SIM cards when going abroad...

Unlikely but hopefully the iPhoneDevTeam will work their magic again. Its not looking good though especially with rumors that the iPod touch is proving very difficult to get into (Jailbreak). Still, one can hope.
I think we can most definitely assume without any doubt that Tuesday is iPhone related. The question that remains is announcement or launch?
I really really want it to be the launch, but logic says its just an anouncement. Then again I'm a natural pessimist :p
Please prove me wrong Apple!
