Bring on multiple introductions!

It continues to amaze me how there is only one company in the world that has this type of a following. I admit I have the same feelings but wow, what other company would get. "OMG, OMG they are holding a press conference!" "OMG, OMG the CEO will be speaking!" lol

Indeed, especially when it comes to a COMPUTER company (although, of course, Apple has branched out a bit in past years!)

Bill Gates and company would KILL to have such buzz...and Apple's aura continues to grow, develop, and mature.

Suppose because although it makes sense, sources are not verifiable.

I for one am very excited about this upcoming event. It's going to be a sad day at Apple when Steve can't give the keynote anymore. I wonder if they'll wheel him out in a wheelchair when he's 100+ years old? Steve you're the man.

Jonathan Ives will be there too!

If Steve doesn't present the keynote, it will be by choice. And a wheelchair? Wheeled out? Are you kidding?

You probably think he drives or is driven to work too, huh?

Does Star Trek ring a bell?

Steve Jobs will never die, it's in his contract.

He is already getting old. He doesn't have the same magic that I remember, I chalked up it to his surgery but he has yet to regain it.

Probably.

If there's going to be a Keynote will there be MacRumorsLive coverage?

Thanks.

Maybe he's introducing the iRack.

After the leather case/iPod hifi disaster of an event, having Steve there is no indication of anything. For all we know, he might just introduce a suede iPhone case or something.

Hopefully we'll get hardware we can buy on Tuesday.

So true (must've blocked that one out of memory), so it could be updated Hifi and new colour iPod socks with special iPhone socks.

So true so true, knowing Apple Steve will do the 'These socks are different from all other socks that our competitors sell. Fruit Of Loom for instance, is only part of 5% of the market for socks. Apple is wishing to grow into that market. Introducing the iPhone socks, it's like magic!"

Long live Steve Jobs, how about petitioning for Steve Jobs Appreciation Day? We can get all of Steve's buddies together: Jonathan Ives, Bill Gates, the PC and the Mac guy from the commercials, the Intel guy, the EB Games guy, the US Patent workforce, the FCC, Apple's lawyers/attorneys, and maybe the iPod + iPhone battery recall department people? It will be a big bang. But remember, it's STRICTLY Mac-related!

By the way, there is one more thing...

For party favors, we can give out Apple Pippens, iPod + iPhone change-out-battery-do-it-yourself-kits, and a copy of Windows Vista! That will make everyone invest more into Apple!

A) Yep! It's like magic. Boom! It's really cool!
B) For the guests invites... I think we forgot Batron (sp?) and Phil! It's not a party w/o Phil!
C) Trust me... free versions of Vista will be having EVERYONE running to Apple stores! Hmmm... marketing schemes??
D)lol.

Long Live Steve!!

HOW MANY TIMES?

This is a Mac event only. Not iPhone, Apple TV, or iPod.

I guess it will be an iMac, but I'd really prefer an early release of iWork or maybe even Leopard..
