...and iMovie supports 1080p, and Quicktime supports 1080p, and iTunes will import 1080p video into it's database and play it back just fine. We just need something to connect that content in iTunes to our 1080HDTVs. Fix the one remaining weak link in the (Apple) chain and you have something that feeds the desires of everyone interested in 720p or 1080i/p, AND a genuine head-to-head competitor for the biggest benefits touted by the "bag of hurt".
Or, launch another limited 720p incarnation of
TV, and continue to observe "ho hum" sales volume... and continue to appear the lessor solution vs. the "bag of hurt". If BD is "dead on arrival" as Apple wants us to believe, why not show us something that is at least as good on the most key benefits? It's not like using 1080 chips is going to cost more, or make it retail for a higher price.
I guess I'm in the minority, I have an 8gb Ipod touch and just need more space (prob get a 32gb). Perfect timing tho 
All of the new features whatever they may be are a bonus.

Looks like it will be music focused product launch but there will be strings attached???
yep strings attached but no cord, no amp, just you and the tune....
Idk if u were joking or being sarcastic but sadly John Lennon is dead, so is George Harrison. Only Ringo Star and Paul Mcartney are alive
Well maybe he did. I just did a quick google search and found that. He may or may not have been refering to that,
Oh...
The Beatles were a band (we're on the same page there?) and one of the more famous (or infamous) tracks on the "White Album" was "Revolution Number 9," throughout which a mystery-drenched voice mumbles "Number Nine" over and over again (which, when played backwards, sounds eerily like "Turn me on, dead man," but that's not the point). All I'm sayin' is: rentals for 99 cents, a 99 dollar machine, all advertised in September (and the only reason it's not scheduled for 9/9 is to get the announcement in prior to labor day), a guitar with an apple for a hole, a resolution of the apple v. apple conflict, nearly no word about an agreement except for the last "we're not coming to any agreements" message, which could have meant "we're coming to an agreement."
My point about "hearing" it is that anyone who has listened to Revolution Number 9 even one time all the way through cannot help but "hear" (in the mind's ear) Ringo or John mumbling it on the album. To say I can "hear" the rattle of Louis Armstrong's voice is not to assert that he is alive, is it?

Frankly I'm so over The Beatles. I already have their entire catalog in MP3 format, so who cares.
some kind of bugs? Really the kids only know about music 1998-present it seems.
Sadly yes. Most dont have a clue that some of their favorite musicians actully look for inspiration from singers 30-40 years ago.
The Beatles Are So Yesterday
they were just a "boy band" in a different era. No different than any other manufactured "product" act.

the kids of today are clueless. their idea of classic rock would be Blink 182.
bring on a new model iPod classic...
OK grandpa, your fine music tastes are well noted! You do know how to rip your dusty old CD's to MP3s, don't you? Just saying that availability or non-availability on Beatles in iTunes Store is a non-event, that's all.
If you look at "boy bands" now compared to ones with the likes of the Beatles modern bands would pale in likeness. It's called being trend setters.
Don't get me wrong tho, there are some artist now that one day may become iconic...
Since we are talking Beatles the music transcends time
Look at some of the most Sampled artist/bands, its not NKOTB.
Edit: this thread is not about musical tastes, I am looking forward to a new ipod touch
