Apple's September 12th Media Event Roundup

[Chundles]

So the Paris Expo has already started. No news to report from over there? :/

Doubt it, Apple aren't announcing anything in Paris.

The eyes of the tech media are on San Fran right now.

They've GOT to have SOME major announcement in Paris, no?

Nope. They aren't announcing anything in Paris. Just a booth and current product. No Keynote, no press conference, nothing.

All the goodies are coming out of San Francisco in about 7 hours.

Well that's pretty weak then...

7 hours!!! That's 25200 seconds.


25199... 25198...25197

Meh, they've got no obligation to announce anything. They're basically going with two big shows and a few Special Events during the year. All of them in San Francisco.

I know they don't need to announce anything, but it would have been nice to spread out the news among 2 shows. It would look like an avalanche of new products/info. They didn't even need to show new product. Some new features in Leopard would have been cool. Got the public's appetite wet for the big announcements later today. Of course, after they released the new Imacs that got many people's attention...

All this hype/rumors...soo exhausting to stay on top of. Whatever comes out, chances are i wont be able to afford it...well except an iPod i've got an offer for my G5 iPod. Laptop updates, if any, wont really be my cup of tea as i'm moving to a desktop mac for my next purchase. ITMS and all counterparts will be non-existent since im a UK user.

Apple store is being updated

"I really expect it to be a mixture of a let down and goodness. There is likely going to be new nanos, I work at the 5th Ave. CompUSA and can tell you that we are out of almost all the nanos. That never happens, we are also out of the iSight, both the 5th Ave. and SoHo Apple stores are too. We are also out of all the Shuffles too. Expect to see new nanos and an iSight. Of course the Video Store rumors are all but confirmed, so expect a rename of the Music Store to something more fitting, as well as iTunes 7.0.

Definitely:
- iPod G6 (most likely 16x9)
- Movie Downloads

Possible:
- nanos (higher capacity, new look)
- iSight (higher resolution, much smaller form factor, connect to iPod)
- iPod line division (Dedicated Music iPod vs. Video iPod)
- iTunes 7.0
- Airport Express with Video (Showtime)
- New iPod Shuffle or discontinuation

Unlikely:
- iPod G6 with WiFi for mobile downloads and iChat video conferencing (with optional iSight attachment)
- High Def. movies
- MacBook Pro w/ Merom

Now for a guess of the pricing:
2 GB nano: $129.99
4 GB nano: $199.99
8 GB nano: $249.99

60 GB iPod Video: $299.99
80 GB iPod Video: $399.99"

Pretty darn close, eh? A little off on the pricing, otherwise almost spot on. Guess I'm just a good guesser?

Yeah, I hear that. I'm still waiting for my Apple Receiver...

Thank you Apple.
