cool,
Now finally I will make my mind of either buy an iPod or iPhone.
if the iPod is everything the iPhone is minus phone. Then the iPod will be the winner.
If the iPod doesn't have wi-fi and is not touchscreen and widescreen, then it's the iPhone the winner.
I just hope to have something good not to become part of the AT&T organization. So iPod, make my day!

I'm confused. It's been CONFIRMED that the iPod will have a widescreen. You talk as if you don't know.

it has not been confirmed, and it will not be confirmed until steve jobs pulls one out of his pocket at the event and then we will find out for sure whether it has a touch screen or not.
 
I just had an epiphany.

With the latest version of iMovie having been turned into a movie player more than a movie editor, Apple can market the new iPod as: "Runs mobile versions of iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie" and with the Mac OS interface like the iPhone, it can actually have those apps on it, as well as Quicktime and Text Edit and stuff. It will be very much like OS X.

I said Widescreen, not touchscreen. Although it will most likely be touch screen as well.

Yeah, there's still never been any evidence of a widescreen. Sure, it's rumored, expected, etc. But until there is an Apple PR posting, no confirmation.

Here's hoping that they have the new iPods in store on the 5th.

if it is widescreen how would you be able to control it without a touch screen? anyway for anything about it it is just unconfirmed rumors until we see it at the event.
 
WOOHOO! new iPods!!

what im interested in is how this will affect the mac promotion. we just bought a macbook with a silver nano, can I return it to get credit for the new iPod?

Most likely...NO. When the 1st generation nanos came out on Sept. 7, 2005 I was very excited because I was just about to buy my 12 in. PB. This was the time that the free iPod mini with mac purchase was going on for students. However, to my disappointment, the new nano did not qulify for the rebate.
 
iPod Nano sale not over? They won't release a new nano.

Hi,

The Apple iPod Nano sale ends AFTER the event, and it wouldn't make sense for apple to release a new nano, in the middle of a sale?

I wish for iPhones in Canada, but that'll NEVER happen.

nothing has been confirmed. Not even that an iPod is going to be announced at the event. All the info and speculation points to that, but no official word of a widescreen iPod or that they will announce it.

Confirmation is a strong word.

They have done it before, they just continue selling old models that you can get with the promotion until the promotion is over.
 
this doesnt look mac related :(

i couldnt care less about ipods

all i want is a mac gaming announcement
 
Its on! The new iPods will finally be released.

Umm, I have a strong feeling Beatles tracks may also be released.

That cover-shot reminds me of the "Love" Beatles album.
No offense, but anyone who likes the Beatles "Love" album ... doesn't really like the Beatles.

If John Lennon was still alive and he ran into someone playing "Love" on their iPod there is a very good chance he would punch them in the face. :)
 
Won't Happen

I know it won't happen, but how about full touchscreen MBP's :) we need something a little more to differentiate them from the MBs these days.
MBP's with atleast 1900x1200 on all models, LED backlighting, and touchscreen :)

ok, well the new iPod's will be cool too I guess, but you can't blame me for wishing.
 
Is there a snowball's chance that....

Is there a snowball's chance that either:

1) The new iPod will play DIVX or AVI files like the Zen Vision M?

2) The new iPod will have Wifi WITH Safari and Mail (not just for downloading or sharing music)?

I would pay $$$$$$ for these two features on a touchscreen iPod.

huh??????????????


and a beatles catalog wouldnt be that great...dont we already own all the beatles we want anyway
 
Does anyone else think that "The beat goes on" is a not so veiled reference to a one more thing... with the Beatles catalog going on itunes?

Could also be a reference to Madonna's new song, "The Beat Goes On." It was leaked to the internet last weak, so it is possible that it will be used during the special event. She has been involved with Apple Special events in the past.

I am a big Beatles fan, and while most of "Love" is not very good, it does have its merits - namely the new "Back in the U.S.S.R.", I really like it :)
