Earnings conference call = product announcement?
A lot of people have been talking about software updates etc as a sign of impending product announcements, and there's been a lot of debate as to whether or not that's the case. Here's something else I was wondering about: Does Apple have a history of announcing/releasing new products around the time of their quarterly earnings conference calls? Seems to me that it makes sense--a cool product boosts the stock price (even though we're in a different quarter now), which in turn makes analysts in on the conference call even more enthusiastic about Apple's prospects (assuming the info released during the conference call paints a rosy picture).
And hey, the conference call is on a Wednesday, which would sync up pretty well with the tradition of Tuesday product announcements...

This doesn't rule out a new product rolling out in the morning as the conference call is usually at close of the market on the 19th. However, the 19th is a wednesday and Apple usually releases products on Tuesdays.
So, look at the 18th for a product roll out. But, don't expect one.
That does not mean they wont announce software on the saturday after though. Or the following Tuesday.
