Apple Event: September 5th, 2007

IT'S ALL COMING SO SOON!

Really glad about the new iPods - although I think it'll be a mistake making the new iPod Touch look almost the same as the iPhone, although I'm psyched about it!

Oh, gawd; Shopping list for Q4 2007: iPhone, New iPod Touch, :apple:tv, big screen TV and Leopard. My bank are going to LOVE me!

Apple doesn't care about AT&T at all. They're gonna release an iPod that'll make everyone buy it instead of the iPhone.. and screw AT&T over... MUA HA HA HA!

i'm so hoping that this'll be a simultaneous world release...because i may just forget the iPhone which will be 8 months away for oz

Seriously speaking though the iPod touch won't cannibalize the iPhone to a lethal extent because you can't call with it. The ones who want a phone will buy the iPhone and the cheap ass fanboys who just want the cool touch screen experience will buy the iPod.
Since the iPhone and the iPod touch will be sharing components and screen it really won't matter which you you'll buy, Apple will profit either way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or just 'wise' ass fanboys who know their edge from gprs and a good phone from a lame attempt at one .. would get the best of iPhone at (probably) half the price in shape of a 6G iPod and a better standalone phone with the money that they are left with ... who know they might even save a few greenies this way ...


Apple will profit .. yes incase you didn't notice Apple Inc. is a buisness if they don't profit they would cease to exist ...

haha where did you get this information because thats not how publishing works in music

Well, if you want to learn the details of the Beatles-Wacko-connection, click here. In short: MJ has not so much control over the songs as one might imagine. Furthermore, he only own half of the rights, since he owns 50% of the entity that own the rights (Sony-ATV Publishing).
 
On why Leopard got delayed

Well, I just had a tought: Apple decided to delay Leopard because of the iPhone ? Well, I think this is half the story... Apple found out that if they don't come up with an OS X iPod in 2007 (it was supposed to be out in 2008), they would fall behind with there current design... So they decided to put people on the the new iPod to finish the job and get it out the door... I guess OS X in the iPhone is a somewhat different beast than the OS X in the new iPod (less functionnality, another plateform to build and test)...

Nope but my iPod photo died from a heart failure and so did the replacement. So I've been patiently waiting in 2 months for the new iPod to come out, so the wait is starting to get to me.
 
I forgot how old the 5/5/5g ipod was. October 2005... Its ancient. I mena its really really old... Better be a touchscreen one on the 5th and im desperatly waiting for a leopard relasese date aswell.

Hmm.. Akamai announced their new HD content service the other day. Apple use Akamai for content distribution.

One wonders. Straight to Apple TV HD movie downloads would make it a much more exciting proposition.

:apple:TV has been HDTV-enabled since Day One, so it does make sense. Anyone know what the bandwidth requirements are to encode a 30min or 60min show (sans commercials) in 720p or 1080i using H.264?
 
It may be a long shot, but did anyone think of the inclusion of FRONT ROW?!?! How cool would that be, on a 4" WS/TS iPod! My credit card number is....

Iwas at Target today and on the little Apple/iPod display. And where the sales person scans the barcode and the price thingy; it said 8/4/07 which probebly means that display and price thingy is going to be changed on that date (tommarow). Excuse my typing, I'm using a blackberry.

yea it probably means its good through that date, so it will change after that barcode or whatever expires, on the 5th
 
Has anyone else noticed that the ITS has yet to update for this week? Could this possibly be due to some major content release during the event tomorrow? The Beatles per chance?
