Apple invites the media a little party on Feb 28th

C-net, among others, is reporting that Apple has confirmed that it will hold a media event at its Cupertino headquarters on February 28th where it plans to introduce some as-yet-unnamed “fun new products.” The rumors are buzzing about new iPods, more Intel-based hardware and the death and rebirth of a few Mac product lines in the same style as the PowerBook to Mac Book Pro transmogrification. We’ll have to wait and see.
