According to CNN, Journalists were invited to a press to be held by Google on July 20th. It is said in the invitation email that Marissa Mayer, VP of Search Products and User Experience, will be speaking, and a new product of some sort will be announced.
This is Google's biggest move since the release of Google I/O in May. While the new product is speculated most likely to be Google Me, Google Music is also some person's guess.
