'It's Only Rock and Roll' Rumor Roundup

in the first iPhone keynote they said 'the iPhone runs OS X'.
so technically he's right because that's what they said.
either way that doesn't have anything to do with the banner that was said to be hanging there. whatever it was probably a joke anyways
Well, Apple sort of misleads the public on this. The iPhone OS (which is now officially what they call it) was derived from Mac OS X. It runs on Darwin. It's quite a bit different from what I understand.
It's not like the Apple TV, where OS X is running in the background and you interface with it via a fancy UI.

Yea, I'm bummed too. I have always used the MacRumors Spoiler Free link to watch the keynote.
I guess I'm going to have to try to get my wife to do the search and provide me with a spoiler free link.
Spoiler free link?
Usually by this time there's already a post about it on the MacRumors front page.

Yeah but what is iTunes LP? Maybe that's the cocktail thing? I know Apple now has those digital 45s, maybe the LP is a throwback to reading extensive liner notes (and then adding in videos as well, which I imagine Apple will do with this cocktail format, but admittedly has nothing to do with LP) and is what the cocktail codename will come to be known as.
Any idea what they mentioned? I've been reading some many different variations of the iPod rumors I'm not entirely sure what they said.
Apple Insider is live again it seems. http://www.appleinsider.com/article...apples_new_ipod_lineup_with_part_numbers.html
Good find! "iTunes LP" is no doubt the commercial name for "cocktail". An advanced digital album booklet would of course only be available with the new iTunes. I think Pearl Jam slipped on this one
I was partly right about at least of the iPod's including the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic-the touch has these instead of the standard earbuds.

3/5. Which means… I'm better than every analyst.
Thank you and goodnight.
Obviously the new iPods which have been heavily discussed. The idea being to restore the iPod touch to being basically an iPhone without the phone. Bring it up to date with gps, video camera, etc. Colour choice as well.
Nope. But I believe the Touch now looks desperately in need of a video camera. I assume it was genuinely held up by manufacturing and this will turn up soon? But i was wrong on this.
iPod Nanos with cameras seem a pointless gimick, but i guess that is all it is, a gimick to boost sales.
Yup. But it was obvious. So me saying it was pointless.
iPod classic, I mean it has to stay the same to fulfill its name.
Yup. Obvious as well.
The Beatles will debut on iTunes, they will be the launch pad for Cocktail. People have said it makes no sense to launch the Beatles on iTunes at the same time as the physical albums as one will be able to buy the individual tracks rather than the albums.
I believe that you will only be able to buy the albums in their entirety on iTunes, in the Cocktail format.
Nope. I shouldn't have predicted anything Beatles and iTunes related. IDIOT.
I also believe that Cocktail can also be used by the film industry to provide a more DVD like experience through iTunes. Extras, artwork, Director's commentary, etc.
EPIC WIN. I haven't seen this reported / rumoured anywhere else so
3/5. Which means… I'm better than every analyst.
Thank you and goodnight.
I guess it's safe to say that iPod Touch picture is fake
AND WHY CAN'T I WATCH THE GODDAMN KEYNOTE ALREADY? WHEN WILL IT SHOW UP ON APPLE'S WEBSITE????
