And look for Steve to brag about Big Mac, then pause, and announce the G5 xServe.
That is probably how Steve will say it!

I'm surprised Apple Computer has done as much as it has, considering the lawsuit by Apple Corps. There's already the iTunes-only compilations that they've created that can be downloaded as albums, so the line is becoming more and more blurred.
NOOooo !

where are the G5 updates ???
i also have hundreds of... tens of dollars to spend... that are simply waiting for an update

Garage Band -- Not Soundtrack
It would hardly make sense to to make Garage Band a "loop" program, especially since they sell soundtrack independent of FCP.
What apple is missing from the iApps is a way to record your own music.
Think about it: this application is for "Garage Bands" i.e. people who don't have tons of cash but want to do some good recording.
Hopefully, it will sport some kind of integration with soundtrack - i've been itching to get own loops in there.

Garage band? Apple is a great company that needs to add something like the IPOD. What does apple have to offer to the business customer? PALMS, P800,P900, tiny cell phones, tablet pc, pocket pc, are all these companies crazy? Yo can say some but not all! Apple needs to develop the ipod but not Milk it dry!
I will buy 4 desktops G5's, and 2 laptops but am waiting for a answer to the PDA/IPHONE/Blackberry solution.
Using the IPOD as a pda is a complete joke. I can see it now walking into a meeting and pulling out the IPOD to scroll 2000 names to find a contact! come on my boss would think i was really messing around!
Iwalk or newton 2 can give the world something to think about! Now you have the IPOD for entertainment and the Iwalk/Iphone wahtever you call it- Business use that even Steve Jobs would carry into an office.
And beleive me having laptops in meetings are a distraction and rude to boot.
Apple this is my and I say my last time I will be waiting for apple to address this.

Considering the problems with the current version and how frustrated some users have gotten, I'm not sure they'll come out with another Appleworks.
It will hopefully be a whole new program, maybe part of the iSuite that's been rumored. Whether that's for now or later is anyone's guess (except Steve of course).
Probably a pretty aqua version of openoffice, or maybe staroffice (partner with SUN against Microsoft would be cool - but would kill further versions of MS Office for the Mac).
Since migrating emagic Logic to OS X, they still haven't released an updated version of their entry-level audio app, MicroLogic AV.
My guess is that if "GarageBand" exists and will be released as an Apple product, it will essentially replace the consumer-level app in emagic's stable.

dudes
it's and input/mixer dock for the iPod that comes with software for importing and editing the files for use alone or with apps such as soundtrack then producing your own cd's from that. maybe a track editor will be included with the software.
duh.
lol

I must say that was one of the unin! telligible posts ever? I think, he saying that IPOD business?! no! PDA, palm iPhone good can get them.
In all seriousness, I think I get what you're saying - Apple needs to keep the PDA features out of the iPod and put them into an iPhone/Newton.
Garage band will be interesting to see what that is - my guess is it refers to getting indpendant artists on itunes (based on what other people have said in posts).
G5 Xserves will be great. I don't expect to see updates to the towers because Apple is trying to get away from just doing updates at expos. I personnally like this because you never know what to expect now!

Re: Re: NOOooo !
I agree. I expect Jobs will focus on consumer products to get a jump on possible M$ and Dell announcements at the comsumer electronics show two days later. They will probably roll out a number of updates to other products (G5, imac) over the next month.

I was reading in another forum topic, and similar thoughts were mentioned - Apple needs to break into the Corporate market. However, someone quoted what Apple says at the end of every press Release and called it a mission statement. I'm not sure it's exactly that, but it certainly states their intentions
"Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings."
At the momment, Apple is a company for consumers, educational institutions and consumers, not big business. We would have to see a major change in Apple's Business strategy before we see an emergence in a corporate market.
Yeah.. Fruityloops is fun. You could use Reason, but it doesn't support VST instruments, effects and costs more. $@!??%! However, there is storm and others...
They really do need a scaled-down version of Soundtrack. It was a blast at the Apple store, but when I saw the sticker, I set it down very gently.
What is speculated to go into itunes?

OK, think about the name. Garage Band. Now, do you think Apple will really come up with a solution for small bands to record their music with this consumer application? Apple would have to offer an affordable way to hook up good microphones to your Mac, which wouldn't exactly be something I can see Apple doing. And you know that Apple's not going to let you use the built in microphone on you Mac, because they suck. Unless, Apple comes out with an iSight type microphone at an affordable price, but I doubt that they'll do that. Hopefully it will have some useful audio editing features, though. If it's not going to be a recording app, then it would probably be some sort of mixing/editing app. I doubt they'll add notation, but you never know. Of course, if they do make it a recording app, with an iSight like microphone, I would hope they add some editing and mixing features, because I know my band directors could really use something like that...

I can't wait! I knew about MiniPods, but I CAN'T WAIT! Frankly, I hope there's more!
