Ars Technica says they have word from the inside that Apple is expecting to launch iPhone Software version 2.1 on September 9th. Particularly interesting about the rumor is the claim that in addition to what is already known about 2.1, Apple withheld certain parts of the new OS from the developer seed in order to keep them a secret. On one hand, the news is exciting in that they may be hiding some cool new feature. On the other, they could also be something bad. We'll have to wait until Tuesday to find out.

Crews working at the front of Yerba Center for the Arts.
SAN FRANCISCO — There’s a lot of busy bees preparing for Apple’s special “Let’s Rock” event on Tuesday.
Two days before Steve Jobs hosts a special press event, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is humming with Apple staffers, TV crews and scores of security guards. See the pictures below.
A crew of three or four hung a huge silhouette iPod poster over the Center’s facade, while half-a-dozen Apple staffers watched from the curb, fussing over the details.
The center is lousy with Apple security guards. There’s a guard posted at every one of the center’s half-dozen doors — back and sides. The guard pictured below stood inside a door at the back, which appeared to be securely locked. Apple seems to be taking no chances that nosy bloggers might break in for a sneak peek of what Jobs is going to announce.
Around back, several Apple staffers were busy setting up computers in an office at the rear of the center.
At the side, there’s already a large satellite TV truck parked on Third Street (again, carefully guarded). A San Francisco police officer has parked his patrol car at the back of the TV truck. Presumably, SFPD will be stationed there for the next two days.
Though Apple has held special events at the Yerba Buena center before, the preparations for Tuesday’s event seem more elaborate than just a new iPod nano would warrant. I may, however, be imagining things. I’ve got a bad cold, and I’m as high as a kite on DayQuil.
