....Seriously? Out of all the things you could expect and hope for, all you want is an orange iPod nano?! Are you serious?!
That not what he wants, that what he expects. Slight difference.
"I hope they dont release the Macbook Pros so soon, I ordered one yesterday
Could not wait..."
It will be hard... But try not to open the box for 14 days. This was if something does come out in the next 2 weeks... You can exchange it with no loss of $$$

iphone or iPod touch? im going to go with touch since there is no 32GB iphone, and im going to say no. i dont think apple would price the 8GB iPod touch at the same pricepoint as the 80Gb iPod classic.
That seems like an impossibility. Why would they announce $499 mid Jan and drop by $100 at end of February?
And my prediction (also for what its worth) is the SDK announcement plus some new application(s). No 3g iPhone yet (pretty sure about this since they just refreshed the iPhone/touch). However, I do think they may announce wireless Air/iPhone bridge (this would be a truly fantastic feature). There's a chance they will announce new MBP with some interesting features, but given Jobs's allusion during the keynote to how much new stuff they have to announce in 2008 they may deffer it to it's own announcement. I bet Apple will average a refresh or new release every month in 2008. They already have 3 so far this year (Mac Pro, Keynote/Air, iPhone/Touch refresh). New displays, MBP, and iPhone 3g all in the queue.
not without lowering the classics to $199 for the 80GB and $299 for the 160GB.
Then they would have to lower the nanos to $99 for the 4GB and $149 for the 8GB
....aka not going to happen
plus they wouldn't do it so soon after releasing the 32GB...not after the iPhone fiascio!
Try an internet search for "UMPC site:intel.com", and tell me again that it's a Microsoft term.
Silverthorne is designed for MIDs and UMPCs.
They are similar devices, but think of MIDs in the 4" to 5" screen, and UMPCs with 6" to 7" screens.
Let Apple try to call it what it wants, the industry is using the term UMPC.
seriously, the Mini is still using core duo ( not core 2 duo) chips. But now is too late, with the new mobile platform for 45nm comming out this year what would be the point of using santa rosa now? Cost perhaps, but certainly not to be "state of the art". T
he mac mini air? ...could be like a frisbee, only shinier
What to expect
Definitely iPhone SDK, showcasing new apps and how the process will work. Will be distributed though iTunes Store, like the PodCasts are.
Maybe - Possibility to make $$ of the apps, tops of 2 - 10$ per. Some will be free, if the developer wants it to be.
Probably - The Release of TV Take 2
Probably - New MacBook Pros with MultiTouch and CPU Upgrades.
Probably - 10.5.2 Released
Possibly - New MacBooks with MultiTouch, also an Aluminum Casing for an extra ~$150. The black and while models will still be up for grabs.
Not Likely - all Pink iPod Lines.

The mini's been Core 2 Duo since August.

Sorry, only ever heard it called that by MS really, so I just assumed (wrongly). Thanks for the info.
Does anyone buy these things (in significant numbers)? I don't see too many about.
F*** the iPhone I want my MACBOOK PRO
You Apple Bee Otches.... !
I have had enough of that half witted candy bar smart phone wannabe taking up Apple's valuable resources.
Work on more professional stuff Apple!!

I really want aluminum MacBooks
Yeah me three! I been waiting awhile figuring that's gotta happen as this is their last product to go to aluminum/glass I think! Also hoping it's a bit lighter, doesn't dent easy and has the new multi-touch pad.
It seemed like months ago there was so much hype on this amongst the rumor sites and once the MBA came out poof no more discussion on new a macbook aluminum.
Guess we gotta just sit tight for now!
The SDK isn't a panacea, it's likely to be a disappointment for us folks used to a jailbroken phone. We already know that 1.1.3 introduces the "mobile" user instead of running apps as root. How much unfettered access to the iPhone's file system do you think Apple is going to give us?
Also, do you think AT&T will be okay with IM apps staying active on EDGE all the time and cutting into their SMS profits?

Yeah... Forth was the language Cap'n Crunch (AKA John Draper) used to write EasyWriter (first WP) for the then newly available IBM PC.
He would get a furlough from his incarceration, and Woz would bring him by our computer store so he could debug his work.
Forth was very fast.... Draper could scroll a whole screen of (just entered) text into a DOS BSOD (Black Screen Of Death) in a fraction of a second.
He would then have a hissy-fit that usually emptied he store.
Ahh... the good times...
To all those wanting an aluminium macbook:ITS CALLED A MACBOOK PRO! and if you cant pony up for a MBP then too bad...lol
and if you cant pony up for a MBP then too bad...lol
Or just return it unopened as soon as you get it and wait...
Waiting really isn't that difficult, for me at least, when it involves thousands of dollars.
I wouldn't really call the MBP just an aluminum MB, but to each his own.
I'd say a MBA would be the suitable option for someone looking at a Macbook but wanting aluminum. What is the black MB made out of? Because when they first came out I remember seeing a difference in the materials between the white and black. I really only looked at them because of the keyboard and the magnetic latch that NEEDS to find it's way to the MBP

BYTE Me--))))
to me, it wouldnt make sense for them to even showcase a new iphone. they just bumped the capacity up to 16gb and im sure they want those to sell for a while bfore trashing them for a new iphone. cant wait for the sdk! then ill buy my new 16 gb iphone!!!

I want a mbp, but to the move the mb to aluminium seems kinda the way to go.
they removed the plastic look from the imac as well. What's left is the mb..
But then there's not much differnce anymore.
So maybe they merge mb mbp line and just will have 13 - 15- 17" model. Give them all backlight keyboard, and just the bigger models will have sep. graphic card.
(as people with the need for graphic power would most likely also want a bigger screen)
