Another Month, Another Apple Event

Wasn't it just a month ago that Apple held an event to announce new models of the iPhone.  Well, its a month later and Apple is expected to announce another "Event" to highlight upgrades to its iPad lineup of products.  "People familiar with Apple’s plans tell AllThingsD that the company will hold its next invitation-only event on Tuesday, October 22. The focal point of the gathering will be the latest updates to the company’s iPad line, but the new Mac Pro and OS X Mavericks will likely get some stage time as well, I’m told."  Will we ever hear news about new product launches, like an iWatch?  Or do we have to wait till next month for that announcement and the month after that for announced upgrades to Apple TV.  Frankly, to many "Events" just come across as too many.
