Apple iPod TV Commercial?

Couple with the job that Apple recently had on their website for an engineer with video codec experience to work on a new generation iPod, and the new features of iTunes 4.5, I think we could be seeing a 4th Gen iPod very soon, and probably before WWDC.

PS - First post! :)

That's very true. I could see WWDC being pretty big this year. New PowerMacs are a given (if not sooner), possibly these new iPods, and we're all hoping for new iMacs.

If we have to go an entire year with upgrades to the PowerMac line (save the DP 1.8), then Apple pretty much NEEDS to release the 3 GHz @ WWDC to make up for it. Otherwise, they should release upgrades right now (2.2, 2.4, 2.6, whatever), then wait unilt early fall for the 3 GHz. It's all a question of timing though, as shipping times come into play as well - when updated PowerMacs ARE announced, what will be the shipping delay on them? :confused:

But yes, PowerMac updates, possibly iPod updates (not sure about that one though), new iMacs (new form factor, with a G5 or possibly these new 2 Ghz G4s they're talking about recently), possibly updated displays, and maybe a sneak peak of 10.4. Should be a good WWDC this year! (Some updates in the meantime though would sure be appreciated!) :cool:

On many occasions Steve has debuted new commercials during his Keynote. Which would mean WWDC.

Are there no big events between now and WWDC? Major public holidays? Exhibitions? etc?

TV ads are scheduled around "TV events". Wouldn't surprise me to see Apple debut and run the ad a few times during the final episode of Friends. It will probably draw over 50 million viewers.

If Steve needs to hold back a TV ad for his keynote at WWDC, Apple users are in dire straits. He better have lots of new hardware and software to debut.
 
Doubftul that apple will release a new ipod commercial during friends. Just take for example the superbowl...they don't really cater to such events. The pepsi ad doesnt count since it's pepsi, not apple...and we all saw how WELL that ad helped :rolleyes:

I see apple displaying their ads on a regular day after showing it at WWDC like last year. See the channels that are affiliated with apple like ABC, ESPN (all a part of Disney) and MTV of course to show the new apple commercial 1st

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Buyer's Guide and time between updates - if you play the waiting game, you'll never be satisfied. Buy the system (or whatever) that you want, when you want it, and you'll never be disappointed. If you try and do calculations and rely on previous trends, you'll just keep on waiting instead of enjoying your new purchase. I think you're smart to have just gone out and bought yours, wrldwzrd89 - enjoy!

Yeah but what if the product I want is an 8g iPod Mini?? I'm not too worried though. I just bought a 10g for the same price as the mini..though I'm thinking of giving to my girlfriend as a birthday gift. I really really really hope that if a 4th gen iPod is released, they fatten up the mini as well. That'd be sweeeeet.
 
is it a commercial?

I have watched apple do videos that had Ian Robinson demonstrating apple products. The ipod is a great product that would call for a video demo of it. As for the compitition? Ha they wish they were an ipod! Viva la apple baby! :D
 
Beatles or DMB

I keep expecting any Tuesday now to find out that the Beatles or Dave Matthews Band have been added to iTMS. In particular, I could see iTMS doing some sort of limited releases of various DMB concerts.

I can't think of two bigger acts that aren't on iTMS right now, and I've got to think Apple's working on it.

Oh for sure, if you know from the outset that you WANT an 8 GB iPod mini, specifically, then by all means. I was more referring to people who could easily buy the latest version of a machine which could easily do everything they need (and more) yet hesistate to buy and always want to wait for the next big thing. I'll use myself as an example - I bought a 17" 1.25 GHz G4 iMac in December. At the times, there were rumors of the G5 iMac being announced at WWDC, but for me and what I need a system for, the current iMac was more than enough. Even when the G5 iMac is released, my machine will still be as fast as it is now and do everything I need it to. And if I would have played the waiting game, well, I'd still be waiting for my G5 iMac! :cool:
 
**shrug**

Some people just aren't into humor. You are a minority though(considering its one of the most popular shows on currently)

Anyways, I think this would be perfect(though its not going to happen)

Hell, I don't even think a new iPod will be coming out anytime soon, but thats just my feeling.

By the way, Hewlett-Packard are airing a commerical. I wonder what new product they will be advertising?

Maybe their computers bundled with iPods?
 
Oops Sorry, that was offtopic. I am new to this. Well regarding the iPod commercials then, we can only hope...! haha let's see what the Apple marketing team has in store for us.

Coloured backdrops with silhouettes again?

I think you are absolutely wrong to say that "some people just aren't into humor".




What's wrong with being in the monority though? I'm in the vast minority since I use a Mac, and I wouldn't have it any other way. :cool:

Some people aren't into humor. Not everyone likes da funny. ;)

And there isn't anything wrong with being the minority.

Let's try to stay more on topic, folks. Thanks. :)

I completely agree. That's why, even with all the rumors floating around about upgraded PowerBooks earlier this year, I still went out and got my 1.25 ghz 15". Sure, there's a slight feeling of regret now that the newer models are out, but since I got this thing, I've used it on countless occassions in situations where I really needed it. Plus it's pretty much the pinacle of this technology. There's not much out there that can match it in terms of features and power (besides the upgraded models of course). That's also why I got my 10g iPod instead of holding out for these rumored 4th gens. Although if a larger capacity mini comes out, I'll be first in line. I just like the form-factor of the mini better.

I guess that's why you see so many people walking around with iRivers and Xclefs. :rolleyes:

Remember though that the iPod is the only thing that Apple really markets heavily. When was the last time you saw an OS X ad on TV, or got onto the subway a were faced with a wall of PowerMac billboards? Lately, it seems like 99% of Apple's advertising budget is going towards the iPod. Maybe the sales have something to do with that.

A seperate question:
When do the HP iPod's come out?
 
I'm sure that whenever the ads start to show we will all be pleased. Apple has a great history of excellent advertising, and I'm sure this one won't be a let down.

If they just filmed the ad, then I wonder when we can expect to start seeing it air? A month? A couple months? I'm not really sure, but I think it would be pretty cool if Apple introduced iTunes Europe, 4th Generation iPods, and the new commercials all in the same day (possibly at a keynote, like when iTunes Windows was introduced). :)
 
damn after seeing that commercial I kinda dont see a reason for apple to release a 4th gen ipod now :confused:
Because it doesnt really make sense to release a new ipod when you're releasing commercials displaying your current ipod

in the beginning of that ad the ipod looked kind of squarish

but no...just the good ole 3rd gen ipod
