I just want the macbook update as well as a mac mini update. I could give a crap about the ipod touch and ipod nano. They are far to small of capacity for me (i have 300+ gb of music).

Come on apple, macbook + macbook pro + mac mini updates. and appletv if you can

Amen!
I have been limping along with my macbook for so long! I was really hoping to replace it this month :( Not to mention I took a sledge hammer to my home pc last week. Please mini please.
Don't they update these stupid little teeny-bopper devices enough in a year? Yeah I use the ipod on my iphone, but I need business level devices!
& dont get me started on Leopard Server, erg!
 
It's been a long time coming, and with "one more thing" tomorrow, I'd expect Steve to announce that the Beatles catalogue is finally coming to iTunes....

That would certainly keep anyone from complaining that Microsoft is using a "has-been" 90's comedian in their new ad campaign - Apple using a 60's "has-been" musical group would undercut that argument!

Let's hope...is more like it.

I hope they release ipods, ipod touch updates, itunes 8, and macbooks. I have been waiting for updates to the macbook line up for almost a year. Wow I have WAY too high of hopes for tomorrow.

It will start with the usual data and congratulations to us. We own all. Followed by ipods history and BAM updates. One more thing...the NEW aluminum MACBOOK, BAM!

Let's Rock event, you had me at "Hey John Mayer here..." :D
 
I agree, there are about 4 features lacking that are preventing me from buying one right now.

-TV recording (DVR or otherwise)
-BlueRay player
-Larger storage capacities
-Interface kinda sucks (like iTunes 7)

I am hopeful.

Another device where people want (fairly obvious) features

Again, think how Apple think. Why would they include an optical drive that lets you give the local BlockBuster money to rent/buy a movie.... (iTunes 8)

Why include a PVR to record Free-to-air when you can buy TV shows.... (iTunes 8)

Larger storage makes sense, but if you have the whole Apple experience, you have AppleTV synching with iTunes on your mac (with a large firewire disc) through an Airport Extreme/Time Machine (which contains a large disc or USB attatched disc)
 
MacBooks Will Have to Wait

It should be painfully obvious by now to those waiting for new MacBook and MacBook Pro updates that we are unlikely to see any Mac news at tomorrow's event. AppleInsider had first suggested that Apple may stagger these announcements over the next couple of months.

And since that time we've similarly heard that resellers have been essentially told that Apple notebook updates are unlikely before October.

Boooooooo me want a new laptop
 
you guys are forgetting a 'major' feature that could be on itunes 8. Have you not thought that wireless syncing will be the big hoohaa on the itunes side of things?

So long as the iPhone 2.1 software supports wireless charging as well ;)
 
A little under 15 hours, folks. I wish I didn't have any commitments tomorrow...hopefully my trust iPhone will keep me up to speed.

you could be charging your iphone on your bedside while it syncs with itunes if new podcasts are released and updates your play count without ever connecting it to the computer. That would be awesome.
 
Amen!

Limping along with your Macbook? I'm limping along with my iBook G4 - yes, I've had this sucker for over 3 years which is an extremely loooong cycle for me! Haven't broken down and gotten an Intel Mac yet, although I've been extremely close a couple of times I keep holding out for the next revision and I'll probably move up to the MBP this time. The fact that I'm now using a lot of PC-only apps in my grad school computer engineering curriculum has been forcing me to do most of my homework after-hours at work so I'll be excited when the next revisions roll around in the near future.

I've held out this long, what's another month...
 
Well...THAT is an interesting interpretation of the 'product transition', but it won't affect margins.
Hi Hi... :) Actually it might. SJ's annual salary is supposedly $1, the new CEO might ask for more money.
 
* iPod Classic 2G: full screen, but with old GUI except for click wheel touch that shows up when touching the screen.. so this make this a blend of the old with the new touch technologies. Explain part of the product transision at reduced cost.. 80g. 120g.

If they decrease the maximum capacity of the iPod Classic, I will eat my shirt.

Currently the largest iPod Classic is 160GB.

Yup. And if they can do that then WHY THE HELL NOT STEREO BLUETOOTH!!!! GRRRRRRRR :mad::mad::D
 
I would be excited if the "one more thing" was about actually fixing the bugs in 2.x. I still get slow keyboard all the time in emails/text messages. It is the most irritating bug. If 2.1 is released and some of these bugs aren't fixed, I'm gonna be disappointed no matter what else it has.
 
I'm really hoping for

A touch with more memory and possibly gps. more memory would be awesome 64 gig
 
WHY THE HELL NOT STEREO BLUETOOTH!!!! GRRRRRRRR

You don't need bluetooth after what we will hear in this special event. Because the big thing steve is hiding so secretly is: They integrated ultra-waves, working without wires, creating a holographic surround-sound right around your ears where nobody else can hear the sound but you. No more earplugs, no more cables.
 
There definitely will be a new Ipod Touch tomorrow. A Mac store here in Victoria BC (I'm a Dutch guy on holiday in Canada and can't wait to buy a Touch here in Dollar Heaven :) ) had a discount of 15% on all Ipods only today......
 
its very hard for me to get my poitn across clearly without sounding like just a rumor starter. i know a developer for apple and he has informed me that those upgrades and updates will be coming out.
i know everyone's skeptic here, adn you should be. i would be too. so its up to you to have enough faith in the good of humanity to beleive it, but now just sounding like a phony... any questions?

questions? just one... why would you torment me like this???
