Apple.com: 'The first 30 years were just the beginning... Welcome to 2007'

hey guys cool down its just shows that people at Apple are excited about 2007 and of course they should because we all know whats coming this year!!
Leopard, iTV, 8cores and maybe a phone maybe a new display and of course something will happen to the i pod so don't u think that these are enough to make 2007 remarkable?!
we all know where intel is going and apple will just follow so no surprises granted:)
 
Oooh, this is going to be one great MacWorld. I have money saved up and ready to be spent! iTV, Leopard and an iPhone will all be ordered on the spot if they arrive.

Anyone see this:

looks like a 2 hour keynote... *EDIT* anyone know how long he is usually slated for?

Sounds like this keynote might be old school style. The past few years he's cut it short at an hour or an hour and a half. That said, the reserved time might be for two hours and the keynote might be shorter than that. Oh well, here's looking forward to a great Stevenote.

marketing

Lets not forget that this whole apple logo teaser thing on the website is marketing, and marketing is nothing more than creative exagerations of the truth.

Hate to say it, but I'm thinking the conservative predictions will be the ones that are closer to the true releases and announcements.
 
Anybody watch the news tonight in the Seattle area? Anyone find it strange that they are talking about a possible iPHONE? Any other cities get that sort of coverage?

NBC News mentioned it... and in Microsoft country, that never happens.
 
Since everyone else is analyzing I thought I would for fun:

The graphic is 744x420 pixels, which is the exact same ratio as a 16x9 screen (about 1 to 1.77). It definitely portrays a wide image as the Apple logo is able to fit width wise, but is cut off in terms of height.

The Apple has some depth to it as you can see on the lighting on the right of the Apple and also around the leaf. This isn't like the corporate logo which is more embossed, but more like the PHYSICAL Apple logo on their retail stores, which has real physical depth. It's like a marquee Apple which might appear on a store--or a theatre?

The Apple is black or dark. We aren't sure. We do know that there are either multiple light sources or multiple flares of light from the same source. They are bright enough to illuminate PART of the front of the Apple on the upper left hand side. Whatever is coming will illuminate Apple more. It will illuminate what is now dark.

The other possibility is that there is another light source from the front of the logo which is illuminating the upper left corner.

It's hard to say. But we can see muted Aqua colors, darkness, with multiples sources of light, and a perfect 16x9 ratio.

I would say if it means anything, which it probably doesn't, it's theatre related.

yeah, but does steve have enough $$ for piano players at silent movies and film projectors. i bet theyll play the red balloon. that was a great one!:)
 
IMHO, it's just a "We got a lot in store in 2007" teaser.

The rays don't look like a "sun" to me given the apparent multiple points of origin and/or inconsistent intensity of the light coming from behind. Instead, the graphic reminds me of a view a person might have from the front of a movie theater looking back at the audience, leading me to believe that the "a lot in store" is a very strong focus on video for 2007.

Sorry, not that exciting of a post, but maybe it's not that exciting of a graphic (or story behind the graphic) :rolleyes:
 
I can't believe nobody has said it yet: OS11

But seriously, I doubt we'll see a lifestyle changing item like the ipod (it's not something you can just magically do when you want to, to change the world). I'd bet, given the lack of rumors with good sources, we'll be getting something out of left field, as well as a few things we expect. I think a simple, sleek, semi-affordable phone is in the works. A smartphone is too small a market, with lots of competition. But think if for an extra 50 bucks you could get your ipod or nano with phone functionality, using the scroll wheel to browse menus (the main method of dialing, anyway), and a tiny slide out number pad?

Early itv or lepord availability is also likely, apple loves to beat deadlines.

As for those who say that this is just a happy new years message, no way. They knew, with the timing and the message, that this would increase hype, and they wouldn't purposely do that unless they had something to show. It might be another ipod hi-fi, but they're building hype for some reason.

I'd say if it means anything, it's that apple wants a pretty image on it's front page, and that's where all the subtlties come from. It looks nice, doesn't it? isn't that enough?
 
iTV
Leopard Preview
Apple Phone
Movie Studios
(Other random thing nobody cares about ala Apple HiFi)
 
It's been almost two days and the site has not changed, What could that mean?????

There is NO WAY Leopard will be released at MWSF2007.

Something that nobody has said yet...can't you see that Apple alludes to its 30-year anniversary? It's nothing to do with "Happy New Year"...in fact, it's a simple message that says: "Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Mac", courtesy of FrogDesign Studios...wait and see...:rolleyes:

In fact, these are my predictions, right from SJ's personal notebook:

NO iPod announcements, as we talk here of the Macworld...it's only about Macs.

- Apple current state of affairs;
- Leopard preview;
- Updated iWork and Pro apps;
- New Displays;
- MacMini with Core 2 Duo;
- 8-core MacPros;

And two more things:

- 30th Anniversary Mac (FrogDesign Studios);
- the return of Steve Wozniak to an advisory role at Apple.

Just wait and see... ;)
 
Htsd

Could it be something really big like a holographic touch screen display (HTSD)? Laptops without screens, now that really would be a game changer. They could become the size of iPods with virtual keyboards projected in the air. I'm sure that would get people switching. The Mac Mini form factor could replace the iMac because there would be no need for the screen.
