Apple One More Thing Invitation-Only Event

MacRumors · Oct 4, 2005, 03:49 PM

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..."

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has often used the phrase "one more thing" at the end of Keynote addresses at large conferences to bring out new products.

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.

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

You are right that this won't be for a simple update - this is something new. This is a little too "out of band" for a simple 80GB iPod announcement. Although a viPod would rank pretty highly as something very cool - there just hasn't been enough noise from the movie industry yet. It's difficult to believe the Job's could have struck a deal with all/most of the major studios and no word leak of it happening.

Maybe they'll release the real iTunes phone...

Sure they would. They used the same venue to introduce the U2 and color iPod models. Both were just variations on the existing 4th gen iPod, and really, the photo thing didn't make that much of a splash out there.

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

Blue Velvet · Oct 4, 2005, 03:53 PM

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

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

Likely due to the fact that Monday (the 10th) is a federal holiday: Columbus Day. With the iTMS (where there are updates every Tuesday), when there is a Monday holiday, the updates are on Wednesday. This is probably just in keeping with the way Apple schedules stuff.

ColoJohnBoy · Oct 4, 2005, 03:53 PM

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

djkny · Oct 4, 2005, 03:55 PM

One More thing ...

50% holiday promotional off of .Mac. yea!

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.

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.

AC_99 · Oct 4, 2005, 04:10 PM

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

LimeiBook86 · Oct 4, 2005, 04:15 PM

This has to be something big...I'm thinking of a few things, either a Video iPod with a Movie store (Most likley), or a Intel Mac announcment (I wish...), or a new PowerBook *gets wallet*. Hey I can dream can't I?

But wasn't there a seed latley of a new x86 version of OS X? Makes you think...*drools*

Object-X · Oct 4, 2005, 04:11 PM

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.

yg17 · Oct 4, 2005, 04:15 PM

Dual core 4GHz G5 Powerbooks with 400 gigs of flash storage next Tuesday!

Object-X · Oct 4, 2005, 04:15 PM

What if it was an exclusive Beatles deal with special edition 5G iPods? They could have Pual get up there and do a little show.

avalys · Oct 4, 2005, 04:20 PM

I agree it's got to be a movie store and video iPod. The red curtains...

Damn, I want an Apple tablet.
