Apple One More Thing Invitation-Only Event [Image]

Movie Store... it's gotta be... powerbook tuesday!!!

Is it one more thing, or three more things? iPod, PB's, and PM's on the 12th WEEEEEEEEEEEEE It's at least iPods

But... but... October the 12th is not a Tuesday.

New PowerMacs or/and new iPods in time for Xmas.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet... I could speculate, but I'd rather not make an ass of myself. (Here's to hoping for new iPods, tho)

One More thing ...

50% holiday promotional off of .Mac. yea!

I think Wednesday is the new Tuesday

It's real: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/apple-announces-one-more-thing-event-for-oct-12/

One more thing:

Remote control anticipation builder. Just type the text and feel the tension!

ugh, sorry that was bad, but I just ain't buying it...

No way!!

Its finaly here guys

Get the plastic out of that dusty old walet!

Forgive me for sounding like a jackass (it's a habit of mine...) but why all the anticipation for new iPods? I don't own an iPod, myself, but what is it about the current ones that you are all hoping to see changed/improved?

Maybe it's one of their famous double entendre's? One more thing from the PowerPC line to knock your socks off before we transition to intel?

Dual core PowerMacs... they weren't ready for his Paris keynote but they are now. Steve won't miss the oportunity to invigorate the Mac faithful on a new product like this in hopes that us diehards go out and buy new towers instead of waiting for the Mactels.

I smell a bake-off... mmmm... bake-off...
*drool*

EDIT: after reading the iLounge article, I unforunately think it may be just another iPod announcement. iPod video for those long sessions of cardio at the gym. yay! Suppose I should buy a new iPod to replace my 1G, it is after all the reason we still have the mac platform... well half the mac platform come '06.

Wake me when they announce new Powermacs.

Dual Core Dual G5 Power Macs BABY!!!!!!

Dual Dual 2.4GHz
Dual Dual 2.6GHz
Dual Dual 3.0GHz <---- Why else have a special invite that says "One More Thing"?

Along with a price drop of the displays to:
20" $599
23" $999
30" $2499
-and-
re-intro of the 17" for $399

I'm not too big on the Video iPod coming out just yet. But I'll be proven wrong like always

dont forget its going tobe all the pro stuff. PB's baby finally im so excited.

Guys, hang on to your butts, because they might get a little toasty
All hell is going to break loose. I have a really disturbing analogy in my head of when you dont do a certain something for a long time and then when you do it it is amazing, just think of that with Apple not updating anything in a long time and then releasing the beasts and it ends up being either the best or worst thing ever.

new iPods - NO VIDEO - 40,60,80 gig versions. Form factor remains mostly the same, possibly slightly smaller than current

VideoPod - the so-called video ipod will be released in the form of a 10" iBook.

iBooks - new 10" model, marketed as the Video iPod. Also available in 13" and 15" versions. All versions are widescreen resolutions. All models will have the freescale dual-core g4 in them.

PowerBooks - 13", 15", 17" versions. All will be widescreen HD. All will have either freescale dual-core g4 (probably most likely) or single core g5.

iMac - stays largely the same. Possible upgrade to dual core g5 chips.

PowerMac - Dual Dual-core G5

This will be a major upgrade to every single line and will allow the PPC to go out with a bang before intels start coming. Oh and these models will all lose their G* designations. As of these models apple will introduce some kind of new naming scheme in preparation for intels. It is very possible that there will be no specification at all other than "iMac," "PowerMac," etc.

Let's not get that carried away. I always hate it when expectations are driven way up there and the update is kind of average.

They would not hold a special event for a simple product update.

This will be something new, or a totally redesigned product.

They aren't giving us any clue if this is Mac-related or iPod-related.....my gut says this will be a bombshell...something that hasn't been predicted.

one problem, Freescale Dual-core G4's arent ready yet. And they wouldnt update all of the lines at the same time, its just stupid marketing wise, something will stay in the forefront while others get drowned out.

An anonymous source tipped us to an Apple Invitation-Only event to be held at 10:00 a.m. October 12 at the California Theater in San Jose. The invitation itself features red curtains in the background with simple white type in the middle stating "One more thing..."

OK, who (what industry or reporters) is being invited? Why an anonymous tip? Does it say, "Keep this quiet, or you can't come!" This smells of Page 2.

Looks like podfuture might be right on this one link

Agreed. They would never use that phrase for updating current offerings. This is a video iPod and a movie store. Bank on it.

See the link to iLounge above.. they got one too.

Gotta be PB

Jobs will first announce bumped PBs then PowerMacs with the big announcement being new iPods.

Music videos

It must be the new 5G iPods. But to have a special announcement seems to indicate more. I'm guessing a video iPod. But only for music videos not movies.
