I really hope I didn't waste the last month waiting for this event only to find out that no new MBPs are being released.

I'm going to need to buy one this week regardless because of uni.
 
Will we get one of the famous elevator shots that we have had in the past?
For now it looks empty:(

Could someone explain this to me? I am missing something :)
 
With all of the color on the card, I am also thinking the iPhone may now come in all the colors as the iPods.

The new creation, singular, sounds like something brand new that we haven't seen or heard of. You know something along the lines of a Tablet! :)
 
Our most trusted sources always photograph their top secret booty in elevators. It's some sort of fetish with some on this forum, surely I'm not going to name names :D
 
You know when this thing comes everyone will whine about some miniscule detail. As happened with the iphone and lots of other stuff.

Of course, thats standard procedure for new Apple products. The iHaters will use it to fuel their fire, and the narcissist Mac fanboys will feel betrayed because of their sense of entitlement that Apple owes them the world.

Any and all innovations in software, design, or user interface will be COMPLETELY voided due to the lack of an SD slot.

I just plan on avoiding every comments section on all the sites I go to on Wednesday so I can just completely avoid all the inevitable whining and hating on the device.
 
I'd laugh harder if Steve Said:

Steve "Ya wunna Tablet?"
Crowd "YAAAA! WOOOOH!!!" <let it simmer for 6 minutes
Steve "Well, sorry, we just have John Mayer and a new ad, now leave."

Even better....

Steve: "Ya wunna Tablet?"
Crowd: "YAAAA! WOOOOH!!!" <let it simmer for 6 minutes
Steve: GET ON YOUR KNEES, AND BEG FOR IT!!!

You know over half the audience would do it.

In the past, many fake "sneak peek" product photos were claimed to have been taken inside an elevator while being transferred to the booth at MacWorld, for instance. Like a box for a yet-to-be-released computer was opened and low-rez images (phone camera) were taken and then "leaked"...

So the joke here is that there were LOTS of these so-called "elevator photos" and we're waiting for new faked ones of the probably upcoming tablet.
 
From the earnings call:

"The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we're really excited about."

Steve Jobs

Products? Probably just the tablet and updated iPhone, right?

"Major new product this week" sounds to me like tablet!

Let's see what they deliver.
 
Cool. Apple will announce Phenomenon, the replacement for Shake, then Aperture X. Oh and one more thing... glow in the Dark iPod socks!
The crowd goes wild!:D
 
"Come see our latest creation" <- singular.

One product. So maybe other software updates. Looks like nay re-designed 30" ACD. Un-to-the-unlucky.
 
Other annoucements I expect to see:

Time Machine in the cloud (hard drives are going the way of the dinosaur). $99 for MobileMe should include this. It's still to expensive for calendars and email.

The change of the iTunes Store to Apple Online Store

The demise of AT&T exclusivity
 
Of course. If there's a camera on the back, it was supposed to be on the front for me to buy one... If it's on the front, it's supposed to be on the back... If there's only one, there's supposed to be two... And of course it's nowhere near the number of MegaPixels that's it's supposed to be.

If it's running a (beefed up) version of iPhone OS, it's supposed to be full blown Snow Leopard... If it's running Snow Leopard, it's too slow and should be a version of iPhone OS...

If it uses their tactile feedback screen (as per patent application) they shouldn't have put it in there because that's one more thing that can break too easy. If it doesn't have the tactile feedback screen, it was supposed to...

If it only comes in 64 and 128 Gig SSHD then it's supposed to be available in 8 and 16 to keep prices down. If it only comes in 16 and 32, then I don't want it because it's supposed to be available in 64, 128, and 256.

If it has 3G then it's supposed to be ready for 4G comms. If it has 4G comms then I'm paying for something that I can't use...

Of course there's much more, but you get the idea. :rolleyes:

Somehow Apple just can't win on this one.

Don't forget that whatever the size is it won't be right..... LOL good one!!! I give you a big hand for writing that one :)
 
So - any speculation as to why this event is on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday?

Every Apple media event has been on a Tuesday (unless the prior Monday was a holiday.)

Probably been answered before but an Apple product announcement the day after an earnings call could sway the market. The SEC might have something to say about that.
 
It's about the Tablet for sure, why even wondering ?

But I hope it's more than that actually, I wait so many thing from Apple: a ****ing new Iphone OS because it's getting old and obsolete, ****ing new MBPs because they're getting old and obsolete and why not a new iLife and new Iphone but I can wait till the next event for these.

I don't see what would make the tablet so revolutionnary and worth its high price, so I don't really care, however I do wanna see a fresh Iphone OS update and above all new MBPs.
