If all of this is indeed going to happen should we be seeing some sort of event confirmation during this coming week?

Well maybe not. Maybe you are right. If so, I'm going to sell AAPL share now and short it. Wait a year from now or two and cash in.
Apple did buy a data center on the east coast (Newark, NJ) from MCI/Worldcomm. I'm still trying to figure out where that fits in. Maybe an east coast mirror/backbone.
I'm waiting for this update to happen! I want a touch screen iPod!
And if its just a pump to 80Gb but the same form factor, i'll start using my 60Gb again(i stop using it for a little, i hopes of not scraches on it, as it perfect right now)

i thought it was 299-20GB 4G, 399 40Gb 4G, 499 4G Photo 599 60Gb Photo
That what i thought it was at when Photo's fist came around but then the 2nd Gen Minis came and it went to
20Gb 4G-299, 399 30Gb Photo, 499-60Gb Photo
I dunno there is currentlty a video player with 30 gigs and a touch screen out on the market base on a linux os for 500 and I hear it is doing pretty well.

the photo line went away completely. Once the iPod with video was introduced last October, the iPod lineup was Shuffle -- Nano -- iPod w/video.

All the more reason for Apple to release a vPod/iPod AV. If that device you speak of is doing well, imagine how much better Apple's device will do with it's established market dominance.
I'm sure all of those other portable music player manufacturers thought they were doing pretty well before the iPod came along.

Well the Istation V43 is currently out in Korea and Japan and that is currently doing well there for what it is. The older version was a pretty good seller here at from mysticaudio.com. The V43 is currently based on the AMD portable cpu . It has a the option of a GPS system and dmbtv. I doubt apple will support GPS nad dmbtv since that is currently only out io Korea and Japan.
aswitcher said:If they do touch screen - then its effectively a PDA - that means its a tax deduction Down Under
What type of PDA functionality would you like to see in an iPod?
Reason being, I'm putting the finishing touches on a web site that will provide all iPods from 3G and up a specific type of PDA functionality not yet available on iPods. (As it doesn't have a screen, iPod shuffle is not supported).
In true SteveStyle, I'm keeping the exact details under wraps until my site goes live
Hopefully my site will go live within 3 weeks - but I may try to bring this forward if Apple do bring out something interesting next week
RTP.

Why is that? Remember...the G5 iMac w/ Front Row was announced at the same Apple Event as the nano.

I don't know about others here but eBay is my friend. Just because I buy a new iPod doesn't mean I take my old one and put it in the drawer to turn to dust. In the past I've gotten great prices for my old iPods (I also keep them and the accessories in pristine condition). For $40-60 I can easily upgrade to the latest and greatest.
The Apple business model isn't anything special. But recently the iPod upgrades have been significant. Producing a product that people want is something a biz student should understand before walking into his first class. But your company has to have vision for that to happen, and they don't teach vision in B school.
The good thing about used ipods is they are still as functional today as they were then. I'd love to snatch up a 3 or 4G ipod. Unlike a computer, where it just starts to age, even when working perfectly, it just can't stay up to the current standard.
Not entirely true. I bought a 40gig 4G in Dec 04. At that time, the 40gig, no color was $100 cheaper than the 40gig photo. And the 60gig $100 more than that. They may very well follow this price scheme for the 6G videos iPods until the current 5G 60's run out, then drop the price.Philberttheduck said:

Now your talkin'. I was going to buy a 5G 60Gb model after the Feburary 28th annoucement, but since nothing spectacular was announced. (read: "this was lame!)even though Apple annouced the Intel Mac Mini, which I think is cool. That was it. Hi-Fi speaker(why?) and $99 leather Ipod slipcases (uh...NO!) I'm looking very much forward to April 1st.
My 3G is finally out of extended warranty and I got about $200+ worth of music and videos sitting in my "shopping cart" in the US ITMS. As well as many,many podcasts and vidcastsFeature length movies are cool, but I'd rather rip from DVD's that I already own.
Dear Steve Jobs,
If you don't release a 8GB Nano soon, I will come to your house and hang you by your balls.
Yours sincerely,

why does that seem confusing to me..?Well, the people around my neighborhood with G5 ipods have 60gig versions. I mean, video takes up alot of space, and my friends have almost 30gigs of music, so it only makes sense to purchase a 60. That's why I think the G5 60GB aren't the "hardest to sell" and I'm pretty sure their quantity is going out at a good rate.
I'm not disagreeing anywhere, though, that they're going to keep the G5 60 out for about 2 weeks before they cut em off completely from the online store.
I liked how the invitation to the intel imac/g5 ipod greeted "One more thing.." leaving "hard-core apple-analysts" to read between the lines. Very creative. Wondering what the next will read..
