iPods Tuesday?

I agree that some signatures may be annoying, but I'd encourage you to accept people for who they are - even for who they think themselves to be from their sigs. You meet a lot of people who value different things... the challenge is, can you show them something more valuable so they'd learn not to boast in little things?

On the flipside, sometimes a sig can come in handy when people are troubleshooting a problem, and your answers/advice coincide with specific hardware that they're interested in (for example, I have people asking about my MOTU 896 a lot - as for the 3 chords and the truth, well, no one seems to give a damn about that :) )
 
all of apple's portable devices have worldwide warranty.

i don't know about desktops...
 
I Bought an iPod Today

I DID IT!

I can't stand this rumor BS anylonger. So I just bought a 20GB on bestbuy.com. If new ipods come out in the next 30 days I can exchange mine for a new one. 30 days is a pretty good window. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, wether new ones come out or not, the ipod, new or old, is still the best damn MP3 player out there. I dont care what anyone says about features on other products. the iPod was made to play MP3. And that it does well!

So tomorrow when I wake up, I wont rush to my computer and check the apple splash page, I will relax:rolleyes:
 
topic transformation

I'm really starting to enjoy this site. Not as much hostility as MacNN, but close. Nice doses of sanity and humor added liberally.
As to sigs, I prefer a small, visual sig, not text; but it works if you have a favorite cliché.

So - is the consensus that iPods will get refreshed next Tuesday? heheh
Heck, somebody's jazzed about 10.2.4 Server being released this week, I know there's gotta be a few.

all this fuss over ipod's.... yes i have been waiting since before christmas and i do wish that apple would release sooner rather than later.

however i would never buy an apple product at the end of it's lifecycle. just stupid.

is patience such a foreign element these days?

You made the right decision, man. I remeber when i got my ipod, and i thought, this will be fun, but i doubt it will be much better than my cd player...... that was 4 months ago, and i dont think i have let go of my ipod yet.

But seriously, when is apple going to release something new? We have had rumors of tablets, 15" powerbooks, ipods etc. forever!

I hope apple gets off of their ass and releases something new, because the last thing i got from them (os 10.2.4) has been less than stellar......
 
Current iPods EOL-ed

Dropped into my dealer today to get printer ink and bug them about the new 'Pods - was told that the old ones were EOL-ed at the end of last week.

Patience, patience.
 
a logical thought

Mmmk, heres my idea on when Ipods may be updated:

With the current Apple special on 10GB iPods, i think that an update will occur after March 14th. Why would they run a special deal on a product then update the product during that special? Doesn't make sense to me. Also, maybe they are only offering the deal on 10gb because they are discontinuing 10giggers? Maybe they will release a 20g/30g/40g line. However, I have my heart set on a 10gb, i hope they do 10/20/40 with the current price scheme. So with that said, my prediction is an update on Tuesday, March 18. I could be wrong (probably am), but that sounds like a plan to me.
 
Went to my local CompUSAs (Seattle) today. Out of stock on all the iPods. From what I've read on the net for the past few weeks, this is common all over the US.

I don't see Apple blowing 3-4 weeks of sales just to line up with a targeted marketing promo. Mid-march is too far away.. not having iPods for sale in retail for a month would seriously impact Apple's quarterlies, no? Why would Apple do that with their most impressive, well-known product of this decade (so far?).

I bet we get new iPods (or new pricing) any day now. My vote is for updates to come on any day BUT tuesdays, just to throw us off.

Picked up an iPod Monster car charger in anticipation... pretty sweet.

i work at a dealer

hey.

everybody was freaking here in december that in MWSF there were going to be the new ipods.

now every monday i see in every other mac board big rumors about the new releases, ipods or something else that you are predicting here.

now it has been 3 or 4 weeks that the new ipods were going to be released next tuesday.


wait for MWNY and you will see something new. :p
 
Tomorrow is the day!

I have it on good authority from a friend of mine whose dad's boss used to work as a contractor at one of apple's suppliers that the new iPods are coming out tomorrow!

EOL means End-Of-Line?

Sorry, kiddo, but these are the type of comments that have become comical in the past few weeks...Here's my stab at it:

My cousin knows this guy who farted next to a woman who used to jog with a guy who met Steve Jobs in 1974 as they were passing a joint -- and HE says that tomorrow Apple will release a video iPod with an automatic ass wiper!
 
tomorrow will never come when it comes to ipods... damn... but seriously i was at my local wal-mart and they said that tomorrow they will exclusively have 40 gig ipods even before the apple splash page is updated... no really, its a big marketing deal they have to get high technology into the hands of stupid rednecks before well, better people...


if sarcasm was a colour it would be orange...
 
Xserve Fatigue

Anybody else gettin' tired of looking at Xserve boxes? I need some iPod relief pronto.

By the way, i heard new iPods are coming tomorrow. This time its 4 reeel!
 
I was presenting at the Grammys and got my 40 gig in the gift basket. Where were you?

Uhh, the real question is, WHO are you? Spill, baby, spill, baby, 1-2-3!
