Apple Keynote Event Scheduled for Early September?

[kinless]

Are you sure that list is right?

Wasn't iTunes 5 out for only like a month and then replaced with iTunes 6?

 

[TheCheapGeek]

The question is will Steve make an appearance?

 

[SwiftLives]

a birdy told me...


September 8 - ipod/music event led by the one and only Phil Schiller

October 13 - Macbook Event - introducing the new "tablet" device that will sit within the macbook lineup similar to how the macbook air is a subset of the macbook line-up. This event will be led by the one and only Steve Jobs.

That's certainly plausible. The tablet is starting to sound less like something that would fit into the iPod/iPhone lineup.

I still have my doubts about exactly what market the tablet will serve, but that's a rant for another thread.

Are we all betting the Classic is dead? Will Apple come out with something to better compete against the Zune HD?

 

[goinskiing]

When have the new updated iPods typically been available after the media event? Immediately, or more like a week later?

 

[Lesser Evets]

maybe new imacs too, with price drop?

Im hoping. It's time for a new iMac in November, and a tablet would be ordered as well if it exists.

iPods
iPads
iMacs
iTunes

Bring it.

Will Apple come out with something to better compete against the Zune HD?

"Will"?
How do you compete with something that is already a year behind the current model?

 

[ChrisTheFeral]

so how did Steve Jobs have the Beatles on his iPhone during the first ever demo?. just use his method

Yeah but then you need to go up on stage, it's very inconvenient

 

[QCassidy352]

I almost forgot how quickly iTunes jumps version numbers.

yeah, I don't think I ever realized it was every September like clockwork. Goes to show you how different I think each new version is.

Also, I doubt the tablet will be discussed at this event unless it's really just a media accessory - which would be a big disappointment.

 

[ChrisTheFeral]

I might be totally wrong but I thought I remembered seeing the iPods updated in OCTOBER last year?

Wait what? How is the Zune HD a year behind the iPod Touch 2nd Gen...

Have you seen the specs?

Touché my friend. Touché.

You're totally wrong in remembering. That was laptops. Unibodies.

Wait what? How is the Zune HD a year behind the iPod Touch 2nd Gen...

Have you seen the specs?

Yes. And?

 

[londonmystery]

can't see the new ipod touch if there is one being available until after 18th September. mainly because thats when the back to school promotion finishes.

Apple has released prior to the end of the promotion before. They simply exclude them from the promo, obviously. It isn't that difficult.

 

[Packersfan27]

Yes. And?

And the Zune HD is faster then the iPod Touch 2ng Gen

 

[Lotus11]

Apple better be taking notes....Zune HD is looking mighty good, and I know A LOT of people who are planning on getting one. I'm a Apple guy all the way, but the iPod interface is starting looking a bit dated in comparison.

who even has FM radio on media players. let alone who uses it?

OLED is nice, the 3.3 inch display has no multi-touch tho

 

[sauer228]

iPod Touch with camera, mic and more speed will do it for me!

Amen. Include it in the back to school promo and I'll pick up a 15 AG MBP as well.

Oops, didn't mean to upset anyone, was just voicing my opinion. However humble it may be..

 

[iOrlando]

can we start the black friday "sale" (aka 4.5% off some products) topics now or is too early?

 

[applealex]

I thought that ends the 8th not the 18th

Okay... anything this "speed" can do? Any applications at all?

It's fun to see the list. It's clear that the event titles don't give much of a clue about the announcements to come.

You are right is the 8th, my mistake.

Microsoft hasn't announced any Application Store yet, we will have to wait and see.

Also, the web broswer is effected by speed, as well as how fast menus open etc...
