products. post education season, BAM!, time to start looking at holiday sales. new ipods, new MB's, updated other stuff. tis the season . . .This has probably been mentioned before, but no one seems to remember. Last year's update was before the end of the promotion. They simply modified the free iPod agreement to exclude all new models. Quite simple. I distinctly remember walking in to purchase my MBP and checking out the new fat Nanos. I walked out of the store with a MBP and a 8GB 2G Nano.
Also, if I recall correctly, it wasn't that the Touches were shipping at a later date, it was just that for some reason they weren't in stock right away. I don't believe Steve said anything about them specifically launching any later. Just... Production issues or something.
In short, the 9th is entirely plausible.
Also I wouldn't expect notebook changes till the 30th at least. Probably later. But that's just me.

I may be wrong, but didn't Apple take returns of the original iPhone after the announcement of the iPhone 3G?
Didn't the iPhone just get updated like a month ago? With new software and App store?
I think iPhone just needs stability updates, nothing new right now.
I believe it was for iPhones bought no later than 30 days prior. Or something like that; the number's probably wrong.
Just got back from rewatching the Touch portion of the '07 keynote. Steve left us with an ambiguous "later this month."
I was going to let the stupidity of that statement slide until I saw the caps. Just last year, Apple introduced the Santa Rosa MacBook Pro and the new iMacs during the Back 2 School promotion.
You are wrong. Think next time before capitalizing words so everyone can see them.
But, but, but, CAPS make me cools on the internetz. Am I doin' it rite?
Anyway, you are spot on, and that very fact gave me hope this long that updates would be early September, not mid-to-late September as some had hypothesized.
I don't think we'll see anything today. Generally by this time or so there are some last-minute hints of any new product, even for minor Mac updates. The lack of such hints tells me that either the update is so minor it went under the radar, or there is no update (much more likely).
They can make, and have made before, those iPods ineligible for the promotion.
Ask those people who still seem to think the MacBook won't go aluminum and the MacBook Pro won't be redesigned until 2009.Ok, why is every one thinking the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros would be released in October or November?
I am still 99% sure it is September.
It does not make much sense for October or November.
All the rumors point to September (or October at the latest), and most point to the later part of September. That and the fact that Apple has released products at the end of a month before leads me to speculate a September 30 update.
That's right...At the end of July/beginning of August Apple told all resellers to stock up because inventory will be slow or non-existent in August. Another point of Macbooks in September.
Looking forward to the new iTunes and possible subscription option. September is going to be a huge month for Apple. Hopefully this will build up for a great Macworld with computer updates and the release of Snow Leopard.
I see them announcing the new iPods on the 9th.
Then a few weeks later sending out another invite with the famed "one more thing..." and that will release the laptops
like they did last year if i'm not mistaken?

Doubtful. When I meant updates I meant to the OS. I do expect a introduction of a new touch.
It's possible, since the iPhone was out for quite a while before the release of the iPhone 3G. Also, the iMac G4 was out for the better part of the summer and back-to-school season before the release of the iMac G5 in August 2004.
Although a September update is most likely, an October/November update is possible if Apple had originally slated the notebooks for September, but unforeseen circumstances forced Apple to delay their release a month or so. It's also possible that there is an announcement in September, but the actual release is some time later.
Snow Leopard is slated for around June 2009.
i'm going to be incredibly sad if they don't announce the new MBP's with this supposed "Announcement Ceremony", I've already gone all summer w/o a notebook, i've been waiting since january for the redesigned MBP and Montevina Chips, I can't go much longer with out a laptop, i'm a college student and my desktop pc needs a companion.
November release = sucky, who says Apple can't release ipod's and notebooks on the same day(announcement atleast)

It's the beard, people
I truly believe he was approx. the same weight from the past couple of years, but without the beard to cover his thin face, we just noticed it more but didn't really know what had changed.
(Well I did, because I'm really smart.)
Actually, if you go back and look through photos, the latest look for Steve was probably most noticible for the reason that he was completely clean-shaven. Steve just doesn't do a clean face and has sported the scrub/full beard for a very long time (back when he was hiding the pudge in '01 when he was annoucing iPod 1.0).
