Apple Posts Quicktime Stream Of Event, Apple Store Down

[fatties]

meh. bored now. even with the 'one last thing sneak peek'. whatever, probably only avaliable in the US AS USUAL! (not bitter or anything). can this thing finish so apple store can go back online to show us all the new goodies??

Q1 2007!?

Ouch, no holiday sales.

 

[iGary]

I cannot believe that this is what Apple is going into the holiday season with iPod-wise.

*shoots self*

This thread is sooo hilarious. lol. Yay for set-top box

 

[bluejacket]

The set-top box is called iTV? I wonder if ITV (Independent Television) will have a problem with that?

 

[ddrueckhammer]

Wow! 30 minute downloads are compelling as it took me 1.5 hours to download from Amazon Unboxed with the same speed. Unfortunately, I guess I will be continueing to rent from Netflix or Amazon Unbox because I wanted $3.99 rentals...

Also, no streaming device or true video iPod makes Apple's offering here subpar to the Amazon store IMO. Oh well maybe at MWSF...

Oops...I spoke too soon. A sneak preview from Apple? WTF? Pigs are flying. Hell is freezing over... The Nanos will be huge sellers for Christmas but no true video iPod and no set top box will hurt sales alot...

 

[daneoni]

iTV? isnt that an infringement of ITV the tv station?.

Exactly what i was thinkin. But i guess the name isnt final. Might just change the name for the UK, who knows.

iTV box - 1/2 size of mac mini, works with apple remote, with next-gen frontrow interface

 

[MattDell]

off to buy my yonah mb.

Same here.

 

[Porchland]

Omg, Omg, Omg, Omg!

iTV! It's a set-top box!

I guess they had to announce it today even though it won't come out until 2007 so the markets wouldn't punish them too much.

Now, please preview the iPod widescreen.

 

[Jasonbot]

Steve: Oh yeah, almost forgot. Macbooks!

Me: I WISH

As Ricky Riccardo once said, "Eiy Eiy Eiy...TV!"

omg exactly what i was about to type. well they won't have a problem because it ain't going to come here is it?...

or may be apple is planning to buy ITV.

or go to court about the Capital vs small letter similarity and then say... 'actually we have now patented the 'i' and no one is allowed to use it'

 

[HecubusPro]

Same here.

The apple store isn't back up. Who knows? Maybe they did a silent update on those today. At least wait until the store comes back online.

 

[MattDell]

When do we get the Apple Store back?

 

[iMeowbot]

Probably not, the other ITV isn't a set-top box. Also, Apple said that the name is a placeholder, and may change.

 

[HD303]

Dumped stock at $71.90, will rebuy next week.

 

[vega07]

one last thing is the iTV.

 

[bluejacket]

Exactly what i was thinkin. But i guess the name isnt final. Might just change the name for the UK, who knows.

Yes, I've heard in the UK it will be called f-OXnews

 

[HecubusPro]

iLounge: Video access is instantaneous, looks like watching a DVD

I would rather watch something like an HD-DVD. But that's just me.

 

[slabbius]

is it safe to say iTV will be able to play all ipod content?

 

[daneoni]

Looks like a thinner,wider mini with a plethora of ports at the back

they still need to take down the store to update the ipods right?
