Apple Event September 12th? Movie Store? [Updated]

[Machead III]

Oh man, this just get's more and more confusing.

Now The Register are claiming there'll be Merom's not only in the MacBook Pro, but in the MacBook too in September.

I wish Apple'd tell us when we'll see them at least, on the 12th, but that's not going to happen

Apple will take advantage of a September 12 media event to introduce the second-generation iPod nano, an updated 5G iPod, and upgraded iMacs, sources report. Additional members of the media are slated to received invitations to the event this week..

Something has to happen on the 12th becuase there were reports that british press had been invited. We'll find out tomarrow coz invites usually get sent a week before.

Well, I just hope we get new Mini's this week and the iMac/iPod stuff on the 12th.

If MacBook Gets Merom This Month I Can Go MB If MBP Is Missing The HD Bay Right Away

Oh man, this just get's more and more confusing.

Now The Register is claiming there'll be Merom's not only in the MacBook Pro, but in the MacBook too in September:

Apple's MacBook to get an early Merom upgrade?

Perfect. That works for me 'cause if Apple doesn't present a redesigned MBP with an easy access HD Bay, I'm definitely going C2D MacBook. Already "bought" a pair of 2.5" external USB 2 cases today - for FREE after rebate - in anticipation of removing the stock drive and replacing it with a Seagate 160.

Same here if it happens to just be a processor upgrade without adding some of the needed features

okay.

so if a 720p movie is 3 GB and a lot of you are saying it currently can take "forever" for video to download through the iTune Music Store, my question is, how long is "forever" to you all? i've lived in korea, and, on occasion, downloaded 3 GB in about one minute, so my perspective is pretty poor.

i live in tokyo, where i get fantastic, fantastic fiber internet (and pay much for the pleasure), which yields pretty nice download speeds.

i have never used the iTunes store! i have iTunes on my terrible, terrible PC here at work here at this Evil Corporation of mine, and i will be buying a MacBook Pro the moment Core 2 Duo is confirmed, so i might as well start using iTunes to download whatever pleases me. i only hope i can download some american television programs with a japanese iTunes account. or . . . maybe not? i don't know how it's going to work. i'll look into it!!

would really like a new iPod!! my old 40GB workhorse finally fell over dead, a whole six months after the warranty was done for, so i'd love some big giant iPod video breakthrough.

very excited to see what kind of distribution system they're looking at, seeing as it will affect both my life (40" 1080p bravia X series at home!!) and my . . . job.

either way, this is all very exciting!! i just hope Core 2 Duo is announced. i want my 20%!!

also, did anyone else notice that nintendo is doing press conferences world-wide on september 14th, unveiling the price and release of their Wii console?

that company is looking more and more like apple every day.
