As many readers have noticed, Apple's online stores have gone down for updates. At this time of day, that typically means that Apple is adding new products to the store.

According to one source who previously relayed accurate information about the Mac mini, Mac Pro and iMac launch, Apple is about to release a new 4GB iPod Shuffle in Black, Silver and possibly other colors. The current iPod Shuffle maxes out at 2GB of storage for $69 and comes in 5 different colors.

Apple's online store typically returns online around 8:30 AM eastern for major product updates.

Mr X reckons it's just the shuffle, and with his past 100% posts I guess he may be right, but it seems to be down a long time just for a shuffle.

Even if his assumption/guess about a new dock cable is correct, seems a long time. All I see them doing is making the cable like the universal iPod and a small attachment for the shuffle. It's normal the way it is now.
 
Perhaps they're going back to a similar design as the first generation. Not really the same length, maybe shorter, but included USB? That would explain 4GB, as 4GB seems a bit much for a shuffle device.
 
how about switching the dam store back on Apple - some of us do not want a new shuffle , but want to click buy now on a refurb Mac !!

get on with it

:mad:
 
quad core imac quad core imac :p

ok... maybe an i7 iMac??:p
no chance eh?




MAYBE A DOUBLE i7 iMac with SLI/crossfire!

*killing_self*
 
My guess is new LED 20" and perhaps 30" displays, or maybe only a matte LED 24" display for pro use. Its obvious that Apple thinks 20" is an inferior size when you look at the new iMac configurations, and maybe 30" is to big for LED yet.

I have always wondered why Apple have to close the store entirely for even small updates. What if someone's made a typo, do they have to close store completely again then?
