Let's Rock: Live Coverage Options and Discussion

[carfac]

* Copy/Paste

* Profiles

* Bluetooth keyboard support (man if I could use a small (fold-up)keyboard to type out emails, text messages, etc... that would just be awesome for me.)

Dream on. At this rate.... it will be 2010. Or something on a Jailbreak. Jobs does not carer about what YOU want- he OBVIOUSLY knows better what YOU need.

Sting sang that part of the song.

Ahhh, ok ok ok, I stand corrected.

 

[Trajectory]

Prices are a little high for the new Nanos, and for HD content.

 

[diamond.g]

they still work for audio on all models, including iphone 1G, it's the button dongle on the new ones that only works with the new models.

It is stupid cause my iPhone already has earphones with a button and mic on it already. How could the new one not work?

The Ipod Touch Refurbishe dunits went down by like 30% which is all i wanted cause i wont use the nike thing and the speaker will probaly blow out anyway so a 32gb for $319 and a 16gb for $240 also the 160 classic is $20 more than the new 120

 

[manhattanboy]

or just bluetooth that works as the rest of bluetooth devices do - syncing contacts wirelessly, working with bluetooth enabled car stereos, etc

agreed.
But at this point I would settle for just being able to make a call without it dropping.

 

[johnmcboston]

So anyone playing with itunes 8 yet???

 

[carfac]

But didn't Steve say that the old iPod Touch would get a software update with Nike+?

He ALSO said the new Touch has the Nike Reciever built in...

 

[john7jr]

Sting . . . maybe you mean Dire Straights?

No, that was Sting doing backup vocals on that song. It was a Dire Straits song though.

 

[carfac]

So anyone playing with itunes 8 yet???

Not available yet...

 

[EricNau]

So anyone playing with itunes 8 yet???

It's not out yet.

 

[bassproguy07]

epic fail!

 

[Beric]

What!? Is 2.0 still not included with the new Touch?

 

[paquetja]

yawn

Most boring event ever.
Even my macbook fell asleep.

 

[rsd]

I may be missing something but how useful would shake to shuffle really be? sounds like another feature that would never really be used... or maybe end up being a bother.

I am not moaning... it was just a thought, it may be amazing!

 

[fishmoose]

Anyone can say for sure if the new in-ear headphone will be fully compatible with the iphone?

 

[noriyori]

It is stupid cause my iPhone already has earphones with a button and mic on it already. How could the new one not work?

yeah, I replied on this just a second ago after I realized there WAS a button on the iphone headphones. It IS stupid!

 

[carfac]

Wall Street agrees that the "event" was boring.... stock took a header 10 minutes into the speech... and has stayed down. Down 5+ now.

 

[rockos]

now that wows me

kind of disappointed....

no wireless sync like the zune...nothing that blows my socks off. no itunes 8. i dont see a big reason to upgrade from my 8gb nano and 16 gb touch i have now. maybe i missed something.

oh well guess i will just continue to save for a new macbook to replace my 2.0 gb blackbook that i have now.

rockos

You do realize that apple announced this was a MUSIC event and nobody had ANY expectation that they would have any computer announcements at all, right?

Yes I do...Thats what makes it that much more puzzling. Apple just lost around 10% a share this week and M$ launches a new add. Apple is usually more agressive with their marketing. The MB hsa gone years with minimal upgades. They have changed the i-Pod touch twice within a year? Seriously...What does it take to figure priorities? 150 dollar i-pod or 1100-1400 dollar MB that has had minimal revisions for almost 2 years?...

 

[bytethese]

no.... its Sting that sings that at the end of money for nothing...

Ahh I see that now, he did the falsetto in the beginning/end of the song.

 

[Phil A.]

It's not out yet.

New version of QuickTime out so iTunes won't be far behind

 

[Markleshark]

Quicktime 7.5.5 update showing in my Software Update.

 

[Rot'nApple]

They're a publicly held company. Their job is to serve their shareholders.

Unless you own the "Big Oil" companies stock, then it seems the job is to the 'public' for cheap gas and not 'profits' that the shareholders could benefit from...

 

[sparklesgirl2]

He ALSO said the new Touch has the Nike Reciever built in...

from Gizmodo's live blog:

The iPod Touch has software 2.1, which includes Nike+ and Genius playlists. First-gen iPod Touch owners get a free update from 2.0, but if you haven’t, it’s $9.95 to 2.1 from 1.x. Updates are available today.

I took that as the software 2.1 containing all the necessary materials for Nike+ to work, but perhaps not?

If the software has all you need, would it be with the iPhone update too, then?
