Apple Event: February 22nd?

It has to be the new dual core (insert G5) iBook :D

But seriously even if this is a fake an Airport Express Video would be neat.

I was a big fan of that feature in the Pismo!

I had all sorts of expansion-bay devices for that thing...
 
why the two batt slots... if you need the longer batt life get another battery... really they are not all bad, I have two batteries for my 17" PowerBook, and since it supports the swap batt feature I never have to shut down or worry about it... It has 3 minutes of sleep time when I swap the battery...

Please Drop the Battery Life issue... you can solve it if you are willing to pay.
(As long as it's more than 4 hours)
 
I hate all the 'people' who have 'lives' to attend to just making fake photographs and passing them off as real. I don't mind mock-ups that are credited as that from the beginning, but I hate fakes. :rolleyes:
 
Definitely a fake/photoshopped image.

No way would Apple do such a crappy job. It's just not Apple's style.

zactly...amazing this piece of crap even made it to page 2??!! I better start pumping out fake and bad dummy invites.

It doesn't take a forensic scientist to see the "invite" as a fake. For one, Apple invites always have some sort of cutesy cryptic hint, and never something as blatant as a product pic.

But even more obvious is something that common sense should tell people: Apple isn't going to introduce new wireless hardware just as it's getting the MacBook Pros out the door. Airport Express Video is going to require 802.11n, of which the final spec won't be out later this year anyway. But to introduce a "pre-N" product now would kill sales of the MacBook Pro and probably the Intel iMac too as they don't support "pre-N," or "N"...at least not natively. Maybe next Rev.

Of course it's fake. The picture is all the evidence we need. What you're saying has nothing to do with it. An airport express wouldn't kill iMac or MacBook Pro sales. Apple has practically turned them both into media centers by themselves. I don't think anybody would base their decision on purchasing an iMac or MacBook on whether it will work with an accessory for playing video on other screens.
Besides iMacs and MacBooks can playback 1080p video. Would an Airport AV really be able to receive that much bandwidth and output HD video?
 
The ultimate indicator this is a fake is the fact Apple would never put something as boring as "Apple Special Event" on an invite.

agreed. The invitations are a lot more "unreavling" then this. This just gives it away. Its a fake.

Maybe they will with a firmware update. The first airport was "Pre-802.11b" - a firmware update was issued later to be compatible with the standard.

But yeah, it's fake. We'd be hearing about it from everywhere, no Flickr photo, if it was real.

If it is real, and Flickr photo got it, it's probably got more to do with photo broadcasting than video broadcasting. Maybe we'll see "AirPhoto". Who knows?

Very true. It does look like crap (AMATUER!). Plus, the text isn't angled with the Apple logo.. AND the skewed-ness of the logo is wrong too. Beginner Photoshop job if you ask me.
 
I just hope theres a special event soon, because there has got to be more Ipod and Mac announcements that weren't announced at MacWorld.

Prayin' for an 80Gb video Ipod. This is to all the naysayers, yes Toshiba has a drive in that capacity that uses perpendicular drive technology to achieve the extra space, it is possible. Wheather or not Apple will use this new drive remains to be seen, but I hope they do. Wireless or not I want one!

Wonder when the Nintendo DS Lite will come to the US. It debuts in Japan on March 2nd. Got to get me one of those too.
 
why is nobody else getting excited about this? Apple's Special Event will undoubtedly unveil a new era where they don't give a damn about how things look and tell us what they're going to release 3 weeks in advance so that nobody has to bear the suspense of waiting.
 
Sorry for the stupid question, but what is this Flikr page about ? I really can't understand the aim to create a fake newspaper with an "old-never released video iPod" ? Can anyone explain me the purpose of the photoshop activities of this Flikr member ?
I don't think we should give credit to information coming from those kind of sites because everybody can photoshop ( from the verb, to photoshop ;-) ) an invitation paper, send macrumors a message "Hey watch my scoop" in order to get more visits on their homepage...
 
I am not one to say that this is categorically a fake, but lets use Occam’s Raiser.

Why would Apple not send the top tech sites an invitation?

Possibility #1- it is a small event that Apple does not wish to publicise.
Possibility #2- There is no event.
Possibility #3- Apple is practicing disinformation.
Possibillity #n....

#2 is the simplest answer, though I would not doubt #3. Add other, but I think that the simpelst answer is that there is no event yet.

There may be an event on the 22nd, but it hasn't been announced yet. Why would somebody leak an invite, that is going to be made public.

Actualy the best option is that this is an invite form an alternate universe, one that has not yet had the Airport Express yet released. Wow, perhaps we are all Sliders, as we now live in a world where Apple uses Intell chips. Humm, I wonder when the next jump is?
