Apple Issues Invitations for January 27th Media Event

autrefois said:
:D

This is the best quote yet in the thread! Let's hope that's not the case, though.

If past history is any indication, whatever they announce (most likely a tablet, or else people will be marching towards Cupertino with pitchforks), most people on here will complain that it doesn't have this or that, that they really should have done this or that instead, why isn't the price lower, etc. And in some cases those complaints will be justified. But after the dust has settled, if the media portray the new product favorably and word gets around online that it's good, then it will be a big success. And then, by revision 3 or 4, they can finally get it right. ;)

Really?Which Apple products have not been"right"in the first and second versions?

I am thinking Apple is bringing the iPod Hi-Fi back?

Good guess. My sources say it's going to be an iPod Hi-Fi with a built-in G4 Cube, Newton, Pippin and a hockey puck mouse... all in one easy-to-finance package for $4999.99.

In all seriousness, I'm genuinely puzzled about the splatters of colors on the invitation.
 
Those paint blobs, a by-product of the new Apple Creation... hmmm.. something imaginative.

OR... just a reference to the event location - Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Still, definitely a giant teaser! Why art related!

I was beginning to wonder when the invites would go out - its getting close to the 27th...

Can't wait!

*AppleTV wasn't actually great in its first iteration ( IMO )
*The Apple iPod Hi-Fi tanked
*Apple Cube - too many quality issues / high price - it also tanked
 
I belive they're going to announce that they've ressurected Picasso, and he is the new head of the design department.
 
Baffling...

Two things that baffle me about the invitation:

1) Why is it 'creation' (singular)
Rumors suggested iPhone OS 4.0 is ready to go but holds too many tablet spoilers to be unveiled earlier.
I was kind of expecting iPhone OS 4.0 and the tablet to be announced at the same event.
The singular in 'creation' seems to not suggest that.

2) Color splotches, dripping colors = iPod
So is this going to be an iPod event? Rather than iPhone or tablet?
Now that would cause a revolt if they merely introduce new iPods...
 
A breathe of fresh air?

So everyone here is thinking spray paint and graffiti but I'm seeing paint patterns that remind me of an airbrush.

Curious given that a few Apple products have used "air" in the name. Airport. Macbook Air. AirTunes.

Could the new tablet be named Airbrush? If so, what other relevance would such a name have?
 
I had to join, i'm well excited over this...

Ok my guess...it's obviously the tablet (well i hope so).

It's a newest 'creation' and the paint splatters on a canvas..represents 'art', art is created with our hands..therefore highlighting the fact your going to be using your fingers to use the tablet.

The colours are all colours of ipods..therefore meaning the tablets could come in array of colours.

and who ever said the name should be 'canva's' i wholeheartedly agree...to be precise...icanvas...though islate is also rather cool.

Hope i'm not wrong..i've been saving for the tablet since last month and i hope it does exist otherwise i'm gonna be dissapointed.

It's the aftermath of the iPod Nano commercial. :p
