Apple’s next big media event is set for this Wednesday, September 1 at 1PM EST (10AM PST), and as always, there’s no shortage of rumor and speculation floating about. We’ll be at the event, and will be following any major announcements. But first, let’s take a look at what Apple may have up its sleeve. iPod Touch Updates – Given the Apple-branded guitar in its event invitation, as well as the fact that it’s been a year since we’ve seen a major iPod refresh, it’s a no-brainer that Apple’s music devices will be a major focus tomorrow. When it comes to the revamped iPod Touch, I expect we’ll see both rear and front-facing cameras, a built-in microphone and a Retina Display — the high-resolution display that Apple first introduced with the iPhone 4. We reported in July that Apple was working on an email based method for its FaceTime video chat , which would allow the iPad, iPod Touch, and potentially even Mac computers to make video calls.

Growth of Apple’s Mac computer sales to enterprises soundly crushed that in the overall market in the second quarter of 2010, rising 50 from a year ago compared to 16 percent growth across the entire market. The fastest growth was in sales to government organizations, which grew 201 percent year-over-year for the second quarter, followed by 103 percent growth in very large businesses, according to Fortune’s report on a research note from Needham & Company analyst Charles Wolf. (We’ve reached out to Needham to confirm the details.) Mac sales in education, traditionally a strong point for Apple, fell behind the general market as consumers flocked to cheaper computers.
