I think Apple should give freebie iphone/touch apps to people for every 100 songs they buy on the store.
iPhnoe! This is going to be an iPhone something.... SDK maybe!
Apple are showing all new ads with the iPhone for the moment - maybe this has something to do with the Big Hightec Bus!
(But I hope its gonna be a new MBP

)We all know its going to be iphone/ipod touch applications. boring. Know its time for some great applications to come out.
Actually, it isn't the computers that have made Apple who they are today iPod did it.
nope...apple is still the "macintosh"
or mayb..apple is now the macintosh!!
If this rumor is true, then there has to be a "big" item. With Apple so out of favor now on W$ and the media, Steve's Reality Distortion Zone isn't going to be nearly as effective. The next AE has to be more than announcing something that was pre-announced like the iPhone SDK or showing off speed-bumped products like a Penryn MBP. If that doesn't happen Apple is going to lose a lot of cred for crying wolf.
Of all products a 3G iPhone so shortly after the announcement of the 16GB iPhone is propably the most unlikely thing of them all.
Crying wolf? You're getting your expectations too high, it'll be SDK and a couple of new iPhone apps.
I agree. From what I've heard this date is the same as launch date of some iPhones in some countries. Countries who are 3G heavy. So my wild guess would be a 3G iPhone. Which could also be the reason why they only release the SDK by now and not earlier as it would hint 3G features which Apple didn't wanted to tell before?
I think, firstly, it is early in the week to have a full business week of "watercooler" talk and to sell the product while it is still brand new.
Why not Monday? If they were announced Monday, it would mean Apple would probably have to pay employees overtime for working the day before (Sunday) to get it ready.
Two thoughts
One: Mira Mobile is going to be in trouble now that the rumor sites have figured out a new way to disclose Apple Events.
Two: My guess is Apple wants to make a few things a "BIG Event" to follow up the "So-So" MacWorld Keynote. Although the MBA is cool, and AppleTV actually looks interesting now... Apple needs a shot in the arm... have you looked at the stock????
Either way... more cool stuff for us!

It has nothing to do with working the weekend. It has to do with timing in the press. Monday's are a busy press day. Lots of stuff gets put out on the wire on Mondays. Tuesday is good because you can get in early in the week, but announce in a less crowded field. Make sense? It's all about timing and Monday is not a good PR day.
I just don't see the point of an event for the SDK - it is a small group of folks that would actually code the apps versus the large group that would necessitate the 'event' I am voting that it is not just the SDK...
I have to agree with you... besides it's the iPod line that excites Wall Street. They were disappointed in the slowing sales (only 5% growth) and that is what has tanked the stock. So, my guess is an iPhone update day, along with maybe a couple new updated toys... Come summer... I think that i when Apple will pull the trigger and announce all new iPods that will leave the competition in the dust... it's time for a BIG change .
The "big news" is not just the SDK... it's what their early developers have done with it that is big... this is a big deal because the day the iPhone becomes a platform people can develop for and customizable... it's in a whole new league and the possibilities for the technology is greatly expanded.
Besides... I go back to my earlier point... Apple needs to make this a big deal. they need the shot in the arm with WallStreet. But hey... it's a good time to buy Apple!
cinema displays
Unless you must have Apple's style I would strongly recommend that you return the display and buy one from another company. You can get displays with better specifications for MUCH LESS money.

Adobe AIR is also finalizing and coming to 1.0 status in late February.
I would love to see that these two things were related as I just went to a small conference where the Adobe rep said hitting the mobile platform was a goal of AIR and is part of the reason they chose WebKit as their HTML renderer.
Nokia and iPhone use WebKit and these were both mentioned by him.

MacBook Pro? 3G iPhone? ALUMINUM MACBOOKS!?!?!?!?!
The possibilities are endless
Oh sure...the 3G iPhone is a big contender for Feb 26th. In fine Apple-style they just updated the iPhone to 16gigs ("wow, let's go buy one!!!"). Then they bring out iPhone 2.0 with 3G and improved bluetooth (hopefully) so all iPhone 1.x owners say, "Why did they do that?! I *just* bought one!!" Well, Apple loves your money, and we love Apple.
i wish he was wrong.........
i am so sick and tired of waiting for iphone second generation, and i'm not going to get worked up thinking it will be announced at the end of February. It won't be.
