Jobs To Keynote MWSF '06

[Lacero]

*crosses fingers in hopes for the iPod Inviso*

I'm betting Steve's going to show a bit of that SNL skit at the Keynote.

Here's to the Crazy Ones ​

 

[Crager724]

I'll predict the iPod will get a bigger screen. The video content at the iTunes store will be expanded and of course the Intel laptops will be debuted. As mentioned earlier we will also get a 2005 wrap-up and will get to hear how many iPods were sold.

Ah, it would be funny if he did refer to the Invisio!

Steve is on-stage, spotlight on him
Steve: One more thing... I'd like to introduce you to the iPod Invisio!
Pick Invisio out of the air, just to your right
Crease up with laughter
Steve: Only kidding! - No, I'd like to introduce you to the all new Apple PowerBook range with Intel core.
Stage lights up, revealing plinths with new product range on them

 

[m-dogg]

I don't think I've ever been this excited, this early, for a keynote. I can't wait!

Can you imagine how much people would freak out if no new Intel products get introduced?!?!?!?!? 😱 😱 😱

I'm betting Steve's going to show a bit of that SNL skit at the Keynote.

Hehehe. 😀 What if the actor who played Steve comes up on stage instead? Didn't Noah Wyle do this at a MW after Pirates of Silicon Valley came out? 😕

 

[Macmaniac]

It would be nice if Apple would offer a live QT stream for us poor sods on the East Coast. I love you Steve, but I am a poor starving college student, and I can't afford to fly cross country🙁

Oh well, just praying they don't jam the airwaves!

 

[hvfsl]

Well I am looking forward to ordering the following just after MWSF:

PowerBook P5 15inch:
128MB X1800M
dual core 2Ghz Intel Yonah
1GB DDR2 667 RAM
100GB 7200RPM HD
DVD writer

Battery life approx 3 hours under max load, 7 hours under low power settings.
😀

You know, before I found this message board, I never knew when this stuff was coming out. I would just sit around happy and then one say see that, "oo, there's something new on Apple's webpage" or maybe one of my friends would tell me something came out.

But now I have to sit for over a month, sometimes more, sometimes a LOOOONG time, wondering, waiting, hoping. Now for the next month I'm going to be sitting around wondering what will happen at the Keynote.

I hate you all 😀

apropos....

[treblah]

good idea - but i wonder if they are the same servers ? itunes/apple.com's quicktime events

I really don't think that would matter. They could stream it from their Akamai servers and have it to download on their iTMS servers.

 

[Winston Smith]

Ah!! this year it's going to be such fun waiting, at least I hope so it seems many of the rumours out and about already could fill the entire keynote.

Any significance to the fact that the Keynote is on Tuesday this year and not the usual Monday? Is it just to tie in with the normal update/release day?


Edit***Seems I got beaten to the Joy of Tech attachment, oh well***

 

[russed]

I wish Apple would make the keynote a $2 download or free from iTunes.

why? it is free already!

 

[FireArse]

The new intel Mac laptops WILL be the main topic of Job's keynote speech!

Go, Steve, go!

no **** sherlock, who dident expect this?

HAHAHAHA i nearly fell off my chair reading that!! I do hope for the Yonah PB's. Think the iBooks are well looked after for the time being. As for the rumors surrounding the Mac Mini - i not so sure.

Common Steve - dual core 32-bit [when is 64-bit coming] PowerBook with roughly the same look & feel (if not better quality) than the PPC ones!!

So... lets talk about being there?

If I wanted to attend this ... very exciting ... keynote? What would my best plan be?

On the surface I see that I need airfare to San Fransico... And, from the registration page it appears as though I need to buy a "User Conference" ($215) pass to attend the convention and the keynote?

But, what then? Do I need to line up over night just to get a seat? Or, can I just get in line 1 hour before they keynote?

I'm asking for someone who has been there done that to describe what I need to do if I wanted to be there... In the room for the unveiling of the first Intel machines.

 

[~Shard~]

Definitely not a surprise, but it's good to receive the confirmation if nothing else. Hopefuly MWSF will bring us FrontRow 2, iLife 06, iWork 06 (with a spreadsheet addition) and some Intel goodies, whether it be a Mac Mini or a portable! 😎

I also want them to look and feel like the current PowerBook G4s. I am worried about holding out to the first x86 PBs and them looking and feeling like a Sony Vaio. 🙁

If they take the current casing, slim it down, (if the rumours are true anyway), and throw in an iSight built in, then I will be happy. If they do a complete redesign and start making it out of inferior materials as well as slimming it down and iSight-ing it, I will feel we are being cheated.

Does anyone else suspect they will switch to white and black options for the iBooks and keep the PowerBooks roughly as they are? this would be a good move I feel.

iLife iWork?

Hey everyone, what are your guys and girls expectations on what iLife and iWork '06 will bring? I haven't bought iWork and i'm waiting for '06 i hope they throw a spreadsheet program in there. well i'm back to cisco class peace

 

[dirtymatt]

Maybe it's just me, but I thought Steve boycotted all MacWorlds when they moved outta NYC. I know we've gone from Boston to San Francisco, but still it ain't New York, New York.

Was I dreaming?

Not quite. Apple stopped going to the east coast MacWorld when it was moved to Boston. The west coast MacWorld has been in SF for uhm...ever? and Steve has been there for I guess as long.

Yep, wake up! 😛 😉 Steve has always done the keynotes for MWSF and WWDC, as well as the MacWorld Expo in Paris (save a year ago when he had his health scare.) No boycotting going on here, it's just in regards to the Boston event that Apple completely pulled out of.

I could see a spreadsheet program (Cells, Numbers) being added to iWork, and as for iLife, obviously there will eb marginal updates to every app, however I am going to pay particular attention to iPhoto, to see if Apple essentially turns it into "Aperture Express" or not. High res photobooks, etc. would be nice! 😎

Definately iLife with Front Row and possibly a remote thrown in for a price increase looks likely, but I am more interested in iWork '06, with spreadsheet, better Pages, (closer to a word processor-publisher hybrid than currently is), and maybe a few smaller apps for drawing, just to show it really is AppleWorks successor.

iWork is currently £69, and adding some extras as well as "Numbers" would bump it up to about £100, but still well worth it.

LOL

I would be stoked with a Yonah PB that actually got what it claimed in battery life...(Yonah=SPEED).😀

No Steve in France this year either.

But then, they had nothing to show.

iWork is currently £69, and adding some extras as well as "Numbers" would bump it up to about £100, but still well worth it.

If anything, my guess would be a slight price drop on iWork '06 by ten pounds or 15 dollars. I'm not so sure it's been doing too terribly well and even with the addition of another program or two, it's still not all it can be as an integrated suite (like iLife has become). I could be wrong, but I only know 2 people with iWork and they used it once, maybe twice for Keynote alone. Neither of them would touch Pages and they're tech savvy and patient.

I love Macworld SF 🙂 Q1-Best time of the year for tech everything!

Including FrontRow with iLife definitely makes sense, since those are the apps Front Row intferaces with. And I see iWork slowly growing and becoming more mature as well - we knew from last year that iWork '05 was only a first step.

Yes, that's true - Jobs was going to give the keynote, but then the whole things was cancelled. Then all the good stuff started getting released the week afterwards... 😉
