well i understand the basic theroy but the truth is different. A 15 sec song ain't a song and should be free. Its mostly talk or something. I saw also a new album for 13.99 to buy on the apple store. Was only on CD. If you ask me that's way to hight. I just don't feel that this is so much better. It won't help to stop sucking music over peer-peer networks. Thats sad. 13.99... I rather buy it for 18 bucks and get the CD and music tracks lyric.
 
Me: Can i have a New Powerbook Combo SuperDrive Upsized Please.

Apple: Did you want 1GB Extra Ram with that, sir?

Me: Yes.

Apple: Was that a 15" or 17"?

Me: Ummm... Ill have the 15" with the Illuminated KB, thanks.

Apple: That will be a 10 day wait, sir.

Me: WHAT?? 10 Days... I can't wait that long.

Apple: Aint that a pity.


-- DAMN APPLE TO HELL......... I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER>>

xcode is going to be the replacement to the current developer tools and to my knowledge will ship as a bonus (like the developer tools now) free of charge with panther, whenever that will be out. i have this feeling paris will bring the release date of panther, it just seems about that time.

This thread is about possible software updates, not about hardware, mind this when posting (man, I sound like a moderator), if you want to post about hardware or the G5 Powerbook (which you people who think this really need to chill/seek therapy) there's plenty of other threads to post on.

Anyhoo, software, my guess would be perhaps iCal 1.0 and iChatAV final final final. I'd like to say OS 10.2.8 but the last seed of this build didn't seem to have the earmarks of a GM. 10.3 is doubtful, even as that's getting pretty close to done Jobs would save that for his razzle-dazzle next week at Paris. So probably just updates to something in the iLife, or maybe Keynote.
 
As far as new Apple software goes, the two things I'd love to see are Panther announced next week and a new AppleWorks type of office suite. Seriously, Keynote kicks total ass, Mail is becoming one awesome email client, iCal is being updated and has serious potential, then add iSync, the fact that Panther can work with Windows formats with documents and the fastest PDF viewer and we have some serious workings of a powerful office suite. If Apple can bring all the elements together and add a Word killer to the bundle, then there would be an AppleWorks/iWorks suite that would kick ass.
 
One unexpected announcement?

Hrm...

I'm guessing iCal, iSync at once... maybe at the same time as iTunes for Windows.

Then an office suite for the unexpected announcement. I heard rumors that Panther beta users could open Word docs in TextEdit, and I always thought that TextEdit (when wrapping to page rather than screen) looked like it had the heart of a great word processor, it just needed easier font tools and some other "heavy-duty" professional stuff.

Maybe it will become a full-fledged WP program, free for Panther purchasers and included separately in an office bundle with Keynote, FileMaker, and a new spreadsheet app.

Might just be wishful thinking :) I'm aching for a reason to drag some more MS apps to the trash. I do most of my work in AppleWorks, but I still need to start Word for more complex tasks (and loading other people's Word docs that are so often goofed by the AppleWorks translators).


edit: I see that Powerbook G5 beat me to the punch by about 10 minutes :) I swear this was an independent thought!

Besides, I don't know about you guys, but over here in the UK music store have been having massive sales this summer: I picked loads of CD between £5 and £7 (yes you've read right), and some only a few months old... Why would I want to buy songs on the iTMS (even though the idea of having the iTMS available for european users delights me)...

My £0.02 (at this rate it will be enough to buy 1 or 2 CDs...:)).
 
Ack!!

iCal and iSync are updated with Panther...So that's not big news....

Panther would be my guess since it's so close to GM!!!...Or something to relate to Panther...

But I'm hoping for iTunes for Windows....Since the family house is PC.....


CS...out

Hehe. I just was buying some music from apples music store. I also saw that they sell on some albums a 15 sec track as well for 99 cent. A bit high or?

You *could* always just stream the "preview" which will be the whole track and use some program that captures audio on its way to the speakers... then it's free... :p

I wouldn't do it though... support it, don't kill it.
 
Photopro 1.0

Just think about it. Every other app in the iLife suite has a pro version.

iMovie -> FCP4
iDVD -> DVDSP2
iTunes -> Logic6

so now Photopro 1.0.

next week SJ will announce Apples After Effects killer and demo it on the new G5 Powerbook, then all will be well with the world.

ever the optimist
e.
 
maybe Appleworks?

I'm hoping on a new, or totally revised Appleworks -- I seem to remember "iWorks" (or something like that) rumored a couple of months ago, before the G5 announcement. Poor old Appleworks is getting really outdated, so it wouldn't surprise me. Though, I must say, there hasn't been any more talk about a new office suite... It certianly isn't beyond imagination, though, that they would make a suite that tied together Appleworks, Keynote, iCal, Mail, iSync, Safari, and so on, into a tight package of business apps -- like iLife for the workplace.

Exactly... Imagine if they sold by the length of the song.... You'd start seeing a lot of extended mixes... :p

Oh and I'd like to see Mail improved a bit... At least with the email filtering... Maybe a rule where you could bounce certain emails.... hehe I know you can manually bounce emails, but I'd like to see automatic bounce of certian emails...

I'd also like junk mail to be automatically sent to the FTC spam department. Cali has one to and I know with new laws you can report spammers to the state... Not that it does much, but it may put some companies on notice.

caspam@cadoj.samspade.org
uce@ftc.gov

Better rendering of xml in mail...
 
PLEEEEEASE let it be iTunes for Windows!!! Apple needs as much of a head start as it can get before the flood gates open and release a multitude of ITMS wannabes. This software CAN NOT come soon enough.
I'm really going to be interested in seeing how Apple handles iTunes for Windows. AFAIK, Other then the iPod nothing else out there supports AAC. It would be death for iTunes for Windows not to support other audio Codecs and unfortunately because of the RIAA it can’t be MP3 or VOG which leaves only one real choice for DRM audio. I know more then a few people that own other MP3 players and there would be no reason to use iTunes if it doesn't work with their player. As sick and wrong as I think it is the only viable solution...god have mercy for me saying this...is AAC to WMA conversion in iTunes.

Again it will be interesting to see how Apple handles this.

Honestly other then iTunes for Windows I can't think of anything more important out there other then possibly Panther.
 
Panther is unexpected.

An unexpected software announcement? Panther is unexpected this early, maybe it's that. Then Steve could save the Paris expo for updated PowerBooks (probably still G4, but you never know), an iOffice suite, maybe new iBooks (it is the year of the notebook after all) iChat AV final and maybe the rumoured new monitors?

18 bucks? not anymore. Universal just announced a big drop in sales prices. I guess they realized what filesharing was doing to their profits, only took 'em 3 years. Anyway, bottom line now is why would i spend 13 on a full cd from iTMS when I could spend almost the same amount and actually hold the real thing in my hands, booklet case and all.
 
im getting tierd of waiting for powerbooks new ipods nice but just like apple to update a product thats already been updated in teh past HUMM 5 months. common apple im not gona comite apple suicide but they need to update

Sure, but if want to do anything with the songs, you have re-rip the cd all over again.

And that's what this is all about...Ripping songs from the CD...
 
iTunes For Windows

Did you read the opening of the thread? Indeed according to people I know in the music biz, Apple is ready to go but not all the contracts are signed yet. Labels are foot dragging on this because even though they gave Apple excellent DRM options for its customers they're balking at the bigger Windows universe getting the same thing. Remember Buy.com does not have the liberal download options as iTunes.

Software is coming and I predict a new bunch of stuff for the 3rd gen iPods. Powerbooks will be unveiled at Paris Expo.

Just a note so people aren't angry tomorrow... it doesn't specifically state that the unexpected announcement will be tomorrow... in some of the posts I've read it seems some people are expecting the unexpected tomorrow... but it might very well be next Tuesday instead.
 
I REALLY hope it's iTunes for Windows.

Someone just gave me an iPod (nice gift,) and MM Jukebox is an enourmous piece of garbage.

(Still gotta get a firewire card for my PC before I can use it...)
 
F/reW/re

the apple people at the retailers don't know when the new powerbooks are comming out. nobody really knows we all can hope at the paris expo. man im wanting one real bad so i know what you guys are going thorugh its like were junkies and apples the fix we need another hit apple. the gave us a taste when teh ipods came out. the new pb's better be awsome besides for the light up keybord and the 1.25 ghz they getter have changed it i mean the design it awasome i like the case but they need to fix the heat problem and do something or its gona make me wonder what took them so long to revamp it.
