'iTunes + iPod Video' Sighting

Peace said:
Good job on covering yourself on the Apple logo!
At least all this speculation is bringing the creativity out in some people ;)

Nice recycling of a G4 base too. While I always liked the G4s, I can't really see apple going back in terms of design, they like to come up with something new all the time.

Sounds like a jealous PC holdout ... trying not to convert. ;)

don't get me wrong I love Apple, Hate Windows.. it will take a lot to convince me to go back to the dark side...
but wish apple would be focusing more on computers instead of all things iPod...

I mean if they will not focus on computers and that will get a lag... people will no longer buy them (at least people who need the high end systems...) and apple will become an iPod selling company who has some computers on the side to give someone something to go with their iPod...

It's real, Mac Cinema HD with Intel Viiv technology and iTunes Movie store. It will be shown at CES, January 5-8, Las Vegas and at MacWorld, January 9-13, San Francisco.

Good mock-up, but I doubt in this day and age Apple would go back to using a tray drive for the DVD! :p

Nice try though....

Have you heard about the transition to Intel ?
 
Yom Kipur

If I dont get news till dusk I'll really be pissed of with Mr. Steve... he'll ruin my Kol Nidre. There is no way I can concentrate on praying with "one more thing" on my head.

I wish an easy Yom Kipur for all the jewish readers of this forum :) with plenty of good news...
 
2006: Apple switches to Intel. Leopard comes out.
2007: All Apple's are now Intel based.
2008: Apple dropps support for PowerPC users. No PowerPC software made anymore.

Of course! ;)

Ahh, but that depends on whether they add Blu-Ray drives to the next PowerMacs and, if they do, whether they will take the cartridge based BD too. If so, it could mean no slot-loading bluperdrive for the time being at least. :(

For starters, isn't Leopard due for mid 2006? Also, Lion will not be 10.6, apple have already taken trademarks for the names Lynx and Cougar. They will surely come before Lion and they might even leave it for 10.9, using another one for 10.8.

OK, Ok, Corrected. It's a rough guide from me about what could happen and what probably will happen

That is not marketing...but rather listing a feature of the phone...When you go into a store you will not see any mentions of music, IE POS items dedicated to music except for the iTunes phone.

Seems to me you're splitting hairs. If Cingular says, about three phones (not counting the Rokr), on their website that they're "MP3 players," and even go so far as to talk about the stereo headphones that comes with one of them, then they're marketing MP3 players. The fact that they don't have cardboard displays in the stores saying "MP3 Players This Way" doesn't mean that they're abiding by this purported agreement you've cited not to market any MP3-player phones other than the Rokr.

I still don't think such an agreement exists, and if it did, Cingular would already be in flagrant violation of it.

Heck, one of those phones (again, not the Rokr) is even made by Motorola.

I think in this case it means ADVERTISING. They aren't going out of their way, such as TV commercials, and other forms of advertising to promote the other mp3 player phones.

Though I haven't seen this "agreement," I don't think that the other guy's making it up out of thin air.

That may be ... the original assertion was that Cingular was bound by an agreement not to "market" another MP3 cellphone, and the fact that there are several such phones on their web site, describing their features, their capabilities as MP3 players, and their prices should constitute "marketing" by anyone's definition.

There might be an agreement not to run commercials on the air or in magazines promoting these phones; then again, I haven't seen Cingular run commercials promoting any specific phones recently other than the Rokr. Personally, the only place I've heard of such an agreement is in this forum. As for "making it up out of thin air," I really have no idea. The original poster does not identify his source or his position to know about it (eg: marketing executive at Cingular.)

Taking this back to my original statement, it was that the deal between Apple, Motorola and Cingular to promote the Rokr would not appear to preclude Apple striking deals with another carrier (except, perhaps, with specific regard to the Rokr), the reason being that Cingular and Motorola are both marketing (meaning promoting and selling) other phones with MP3 player capabilities. I can't see Apple agreeing to have their hands tied on this when their partners are not similarly bound.
 
Yeah yeah yeah

No video iPod, instead the event on wednesday will be about music. Apple Corp. (the record company) and Apple have settled outside of court and The Beatles catalog will finally be available on iTunes. There will be performances by Paul McCartney and others. The only new product at the event will be a Beatles branded iPod.

This information comes as an advertising firm mistakenly put up ads before the announcement.

Good effort, but you need to work on your Photoshop skills some more. But hey, practice makes perfect, so keep trying!

And don't get me wrong, posting silly mock-ups is fine here on MacRumors, just as long as you don't try to insult anyone's intelligence by suggesting they are real. :p ;) :cool:
 
Update, due to some advertising glitch the event has been cancelled and postponed indefinitely.

sneaky sneaky :D
