NOTHING FROM APPLE. No 17" because it's pixie dust and no ipods. Nothing. I think that I'm done with this rumor site until Apple comes out with an update. There is no point sitting here reading comments on stuff that doesnt exist.
 
Now now...

In that case you better avoid Forbes magazine from now on too. By the way, isn't it too early now for the expected announcement? I would give it another 2-3 hours.
 
Rumors and Expectations

Hey all,

In general, you should take all rumors with a grain of salt... especially thses - as most of the iPod rumors are "Page 2" rumors - in that they are from sites/sources of unknown reliability and may simply reflect much speculaiton.

ThinkSecret, which generally is relatively accurate did post expectations of upgrades "soon"... but it's always possible they were influenced by the buzz.

I recieved a new 20 gig a few weeks ago. I don't regret making the purchase at all, even if they do eventually upgrade them. Its been playing almost non stop since I got it :D
 
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Okay, I'm still baffled at how they can keep their lowest priced (i.e. most affordable) item out of stock so long without even giving us a stupid update so they can lower the price. I've found rumors to be unreliable, but the only reason I keep hope up is that I think that Apple can't be so silly as to do this, and every week they are. Not everybody out there can afford to spend $400 or $500 on a luxury item.

Oh, and I'm mostly post this because according to Murphy's Law as soon as I publicly show my disgust at this 5gb fiasco, there will be an update to make me look stupid and petty.

... right? :rolleyes:
 
for a wook or so now, the apple website has been really slow for me... in fact it times out 50% of the time. does anyone else experience this? before it started apple probably had one of the fastest servers around.

Yes, I've noticed this as well. Either it loads immediately for me, or it will time out. I thought that was very odd.
 
I don't get it!!!!!

Why won't apple just commit to a March 14th stocking date and just release the info about the new iPods, at least they would save some face on the whole 5GB mess. I guess the March 14th release date is looking to be right. There better be one hell of a revision coming if there is a need to clear out the current 10GB iPods from the supply chain.

Oh well

Well, Apple had the opportunity to make a new customer out of me. I have been following this for quite a while now, waiting to get a new iPod. But all of this bull is making me go out this weekend and buy a Creative or an Archos or the cool new silver Toshiba. Apple definitely dropped the ball on this one.
 
If you really are gonna bolt in disgust, I'd consider one thing: feature for feature, the iPods, whether current models or future revisions, will blow the doors off the competition.

As frustrated as I am with Apple's Code Of Silence B.S., I'm gonna wait. (shaking head) I don't know why I'm so damn loyal sometimes, but I'll wait. All this clandestine crap just pisses me off.

Well, Apple? Say something fercryinoutloud!
 
Yeah me too (almost)

I can surely understand you... I have been anticipanting my iPod for several months, and when I tried to buy it, the folks at Apple told me I had to wait a month and a half...

... This is very very disappointing for a customer, even more when it is a new customer (my case). All in all, it's not a serious position for a respectable company. What other products do you have to wait 6 weeks for? For God's sake, it's not a customised Lamborghini what we're trying to buy!!! It's just an MP3 player...

... You know, each day that Apple maintains the message about the 5 Gig iPods they give a worse impression. It's just laughable... What holidays were they, then? Thanksgiving, Xmas or Easter?

(Anyway, now that I have spent sooo long waiting for new iPods, I'm not gonna get an Archos or Nomad. I just hope I have one before Easter. All this makes me sick... Will they be banning us from buying iPods? No new units and no stock of the old ones... ahhh I am desperate)
