Correction...the Mac Pro was updated in January a week before MWSF. Also, the update previous to that was a year! Therefore, the next update for the Mac Pro is very likely to be January 2009.

They'll probably only refresh when the 16 cores come out...
to be honest ALL macs can run the pro software, i'm running FCP and Motion on my mac mini!
But I want a 64GB iPod Touch now!!!!
Or perhaps they simply want a smaller iPhone, a phone with about the same design but with less features and smaller volume, and in order to describe that, they're using the Nano-monicker.
please have a computer related ONE more thing! college starts soon
has that ever happened before at an ipod event??
has that ever happened before at an ipod event??
I still dont think it will happen. it will cause to much confusion unless one day the iphone nano becomes the main phone and the current iphone becomes the return of the newton..
Who wants an iPhone with less features? The iPhone is already lacking features found in standard phones;
- Video Capture
- MMS Messaging
- Picture Messaging
- Blutooth File Transfer
Why would you want a smaller, cutdown iPhone with even less features?!
+1
also, with the promo pic on page 1, i wonder why the volume is around 25. could that mean something
if they release a black macbook pro like the one in the mockup that was release... I will sell my current laptop and buy that the day of release.... and i PRAY it has a blu-ray burner in it
If you notice, I didn't say I wanted one. Hell, I'm avoiding the iPhone like the plague.
Plus you forgot:
- Disk Mode (USB Mass Storage)
- copy/paste
- ability to edit documents
- ability to read documents unless you mailed them to yourself
(and I propably forgot quite a few).
Just imagine the iPhone shuffle. Program it with a set of fine ladies and then just press forward and back to call a random girl. Ha. It may eliminate the boredom factor and make dating more interesting. Maybe.
One more thing...

After upgrading all the capacities of the other iPods on the 9th, Steve reminds everyone that there is one more iPod, the best iPod ever made, the iPhone 3G. After two months and 4 million sold, there's something that many still have been holding out for: an iPhone that can REPLACE their old iPod. Some have stuck with their old cell phone, purchasing an iPod Touch to get in on the App love. Some grabbed an iPhone, but still haul around they're classic for it's storage. 16GB doesn't cut it for a lot of people's music collection; 32GB is getting there for many. A 32GB model would be the first to come close to handling the functions of both a phone and iPod.
Backlash similar to the 2007 "too soon" price drop? No way, prices stay the same, simply an addition to the lineup with a $399 subsidized 32GB model. No one can complain. AND you've got the crowd that has to have the latest and greatest who'll ebay their brand new 16's and get the 32. That's how you sell 10 Million iPhones in a year.
Plus, a nice positive headline in the news for the world's most scrutinized phone.

There's alot of stuff to improve on in iTunes. It's still a pain in the ass to organize songs, and playlists are the only option. There's no color labelling for songs either. Imagine having a load of 2-hour long DJ sets on your computer, try about 250 - 300 of them, with your library totalling about 100GB of tunes to be conservative. Try finding a good way to organize these in the MAIN window (not in a bunch of playlists)...perhaps having contextual drop-downs to categorize these in the main window, the idea is seeing the tunes you want to see in the main window (ie library) -- organized the way you want....NOT seeing your whole raw slew of every sound file on your computer. This is just too annoying and it's time to fix this for good.
um, where are they gonna get a single 32 gb chip? theres no room in the iphone for two 16 gb ones..
That was 8 months ago.
They aren't here yet, but they will be soon.
You'll most likely be waiting a long time.

I don't think the tablet's coming in September, otherwise it would have been rumored very recently. Apple could just be keeping heavy wraps on it though.
Given that the notebooks may be updated in October, maybe the tablet is coming then. That would increase the likelihood of an Apple Event in October, as it would not be just to redesign two notebooks and update another.
