Apple.com 'Something in the Air' Teaser







Apple posted the 'Something in the Air' teaser campaign on their website, and promises that you will be able to watch the keynote on Apple.com on Tuesday afternoon (pre-recorded, not live). The banners were originally revealed on Friday at Macworld Expo's Moscone center. Badge pickup started today. The Keynote address kicks off at 9am Pacific on Tuesday, January 15th. We'll provide live updates via Web, SMS, iPhone, and Spoiler Free.

That is a very bold claim, seeing as it's pretty unwatchable for the first few days because of hits.

Not on the UK store

Why do we have to wait for everything in the UK?

It would be awesome to have live video! I have had issues in the past viewing the pre-recorder content due to heavy network traffic as well. Lets hope Apple put up a bunch of their new X-serves

I really hope I am wrong, But I have hard time believing ACDs will be announce at MWSF. Maybe at NAB or WWDC.

MacPro was just updated and ACDs did not come along. Many people did buy workstations last week with displays and Apple introducing a new display a week later will make many people angry. Not good PR if you ask me.

Tomorrow IMHO will be:

AppleTV 2.0
Movie rentals

iPhone 16gig, new apps and who knows maybe a 32gig version at $599

ultra-portable (Macbook air or whatever you want to call it)

Apple Logo

Nice touch emphasizing the Apple stem/leaf, which hovers over the apple, in the air.

Woohoo!

Can hardly wait!

Bring it on Steve, we know you will not let us down!

As a side note, given the huge success digital photo frames had this past holday season, it would be great for Apple to come up with it´s own beautifully designed version, in the $150.00 - $200.00 price range with iMovie and Apple TV style slideshows, it will be a perfect gift for Valentine´s Day and Apple could sell tons. It could possibly receive pictures wirelessly (Air?)from your Mac.

Hell it won´t happen, just bring on the MacBook Air! (Love the name)

Seems like there would be at least a price drop, don't you think?

What does this image have to do with the UK?


They're really putting all their eggs in one basket with that line. Hopefully there is more than just one product to talk about at MWSF.

My guess

OK here's my best guess. I think instead of being product specific it will be a theme. Much like the hub concept way back when. Except now the spokes will be wireless. So it will be a major focus on wireless integration across all product lines. Just a guess but what's Christmas without picking up a few presents and shaking them?

Just noticed this...

The apple on the banners is the same as the one in the menu bar when you click it.

This probably doesn't mean anything, but i figured i'd mention it...

Yep, the iTunes Wi-Fi Music store on the Touch/iPhone is just the tip of the iceberg...

(keeps pressing "check for updates" on TV...)

Now I'm sure a thin aluminum laptop will be introduced: the thin font, the apple logo made of a thin layer of shiny metal

I have to have it!

I hope Steve pulls a zinger out of his hat. Just for old times sake!
Nothing that's rumored has me the least bit excited. A note book that's smaller. Wow. Front page news.
