Banners Up for Apple's Let's Rock Media Event on September 9th

[iCantwait]

It would be HUGE news if the prices were severely slashed on all their models so that no one can compete with them. I'm talking a sub-$100 iPod Nano, a 16GB touch at $199, and so on. I actually think we will see a 16GB touch for $199, and an 8GB Nano for under $100. We'll see what happens, but if that happened, it would be HUGE.

well flash is cheap now, price will depend on the hardware and how business mibded apple are. I will only get the new nano if I can get orange in the lowest GBage as I have an iPhone 3G, or if orange is the price of the current 4gb nano (silver only)

Huge announcements meaning a new model for the entire iPod line-up and Mac line-up? And new versions of iTunes and Logic Studio hopefully.

 

[iCantwait]

like. Last years "the beat goes on" keynote this will be iPod and iPhone software related only. The new 2.1 feature will be otb onthe new iPod touch line up and not far behind for the current iPt and iPhones. That's just based on apple history!

 

[SchneiderMan]

all i want is new macs

 

[Raptura]

Any news on what's happening to the iPod classics? I'd be nice to have the low-end model be at lest 100 GB or more.

 

[PhotoPhoenix]

all i wish for is a new interface for the iPods and lower prices on the iPod Classic with a little more hard drive space. I want the iPod Classic to outshine the Nano again. I'm a classic fan but it appears as if the Nano gets way more attention because of it being sold more...

that's all i ask...

 

[Ironduke]

If apple are making a big deal out of this there must be something more then whats been rumoured, because what has been rumored is abit poor.

maybe apple will pull that move where they go here it is but it wont be available until...

If so this could include the iPhone Nano which maybe released at macworld or they may show the new macbooks but we wont be able to get em until october

just my thoughts?

Mr. Jobs says you need new iPod.

Apple Computer dead, welcome Apple Inc.

 

[Vulcan]

I hope to see some price drops

 

[EricNau]

I'd imagine being owned by AOL carries some benefits, such as media invites to these sorts of things..

Still, I doubt the pros outweigh the cons.

I think it is very clear that Apple has been able to keep at least one secret. They are saying that this is going to be "big". But even if all the rumors are true it would not be "big". So either (1) it's something that is not yet rumored or (2) No one will ever take Apple seriously when they say "big" again.

I'm betting on Apple ditching DRM. With Apple being one of the largest music retailers they are in position to tell the labels "We will no longer carry DRM'd music in our store." Would any of the labels want to loose their biggest reseller?

The other thing could be a huge price drop. Like prices cut in half across the line.

Would it kill apple...

to do something on the EAST COAST!!!!!!!!!

exactly and in that case it can only mean two things, the secret isnt a physical object or it is a piece of hardware that has not gone into mass production yet

 

[sushi]

We don't get invited to these things.

Bummer!

Maybe someone can seek in.

 

[tringo]

Then again, they may be saying its going to be "big" because they are worried that none of the press will show up.

The current rumors really don't warrant all the invited press members showing up.

 

[aljawad]

- We've heard a few more reports of Apple telling reporters that this event will be a "big deal" and urging them to come. While it's hard to read too much into this sort of hype, it does not appear to be typical practice for Apple.

One more thing: iPhone Nano!

... and the iPhone will be available in 70 MORE countries before the end of this year

 

[gcmexico]

maybe they will release something for video conferencing with the iphone!!

 

[Rybold]

Based on the banner and the name of the event,
I think we can be pretty confident that it will be iPod/iTunes related.


"Oh ... One More Thing" ... giant banner drops to
reveal Steve Jobs wearing nothing but this (awkward moment)

 

[Desamell]

maybe they will release something for video conferencing with the iphone!!

if they do i will lose all confidence in apple on releasing products that need replacing. NOt an iPhone update PLEASE!! and no iphone nano

Thanks captain obvious but judging by the look of the invite we could've figured that out...

 

[Mjmar]

I hope it's something good! My birthday is coming up.

 

[Ironduke]

[Sam Yikin]

No, they won't do this. If they did, and there was nothing big, then future events would be at stake.

Really? I wasn't sure.

Oh, now I see you added a picture of a new type of iPod. I just imagine the male version.

Anyhow, obviously an iPod update.
Shuffle --> Price decrease
Nano --> New model, shaped like 2g Nano but with bigger screen.
Touch --> 64GB (I know -- dreaming I am.)
Classic --> ???

 

[Ironduke]

That was just creepy.

dont be camp
