Like me. If iMacs came out. Ick. New one not new anymore. But I really don't think that's going to happen... ack! jinxed it! WHOA! I'm now a regular. Just realized that. 28 posts or so after the fact. amateurmacfreak said:Awesome, awesome, awesome prediction/scenario, haha.
Of course, Powerbooks, iBooks, able to run both OSs.... wow. Would be amazing.
But I know you're just painting an idealistic dream, haha. But it sounds so good it should just be truth....
isn't apple cash just a way to say "cooler name for apple store giftcards"?
Sort of, because of course you can buy iTunes cards w/ Apple Store giftcards, but if you could redeem them on iTMS, that's the purpose. So, you could use them at home on the computer or at the Apple store. Or could you just buy iTunes certificates on apple.com with the Apple Store girt certificate, then use them on iTunes? hm. but it would be more convenient if you could just do it on iTMS! and just generally cool.

They sort of just give the nice illusion of more flexibility. Which is good.
With a bit more functionality and flexibility.Agh. I'm just bitter b/c I have $220 dollars of iTunes cash that if I'd known I'd get that much I'd just want store gift certificates for a nano. XP
Ah. A video's just fine. Which I already have.
No, but I do seriously think Applecash is a good idea.
MWSF '06 and "The Year of the Digital Home"
Alright, here's what I think "may" happen when Steve takes the stage. My reasoning is based on the news & rumors of the past 6 months, as well as how Apple stands amongst and "against" its PC & Media competitors.
Hardware:
• Mac mini: It has a "target market" based upon size & price, so Apple will not tinker with it much. If it switches at MWSF it will be a 1.6GHz single-core Yonah on a Napa/Centrino bundle, or it may get the newest Pentium M that Intel announced alongside Yonah... I seriously doubt it will go dual-core, though the 1.6GHz price is close to that of its single-core sibling. However, even the Pentium M is on a 533MHz bus - with Centrino, DDR2, and Intel graphics it will still be 2-3x faster than at present. It will retain the 2.5" hard drive, but may change from ATA-100 to SATA...
• iMac: It might go Intel at MWSF (or shortly after)... If it does, it will be (32bit) dual-core Yonah. Otherwise I think it will wait for 64bit, dual-core Merom around September. Yonah is on 667MHz bus, while the 2.1GHz G5 is on 700MHz bus, so main benefit would be 2nd core. Not much else will change, though at some point in '06 I think Apple will add a 23" HD iMac...
• PowerMac: "Switch" in the Fall, when Conroe debuts alongside (or after) Merom. Next year Conroe should add quad-cores, as well...
• XServe: Waiting for Woodcrest, around same time as Conroe... Think dual quad-cores in 2007!
• iBook: May switch at MWSF, though not if PowerBook is left at G4 dinoSNore speed. It would likely have the 1.6GHz single-core Yonah (Intel lists the T1300 on their new price list - other speeds will appear later this Spring) on a Napa/Centrino bundle featuring Intel integrated graphics... Hey, it's still 2-3x faster than G4 iBook. It will likely split into single & dual-core Yonahs when Merom debuts.
• PowerBook: At MWSF (avail. by mid-Feb.). Dual-core Yonahs, PCI-Exp x16 mid & high-end GPUs with 128-256MB of DDR2 VRAM, SATA hard drives, DL SuperDrives, 802.11n(?), built-in iSight, FrWr 400 & 800, USB2, an IR port for the Front Row remote (think, Keynote presentations)... The 12" might go 13" WS, while the 15" & 17" will gain higher resolutions... When Merom debuts we will see PowerBook split into "regular" 32bit, dual-core Yonahs and "Pro" models with Merom and BluRay...
• The "MacIntel mini DVR" that people desire so badly may be announced at MWSF, but will be an entirely different model. It will (likely) incorporate Intel's Viiv platform in a brushed metal or black "pizza box" (to match your AV setup), with a choice of 1.6/1.8/2.0/2.16GHz Yonah dual-cores. It will come with an "Apple Intelli-Mote" (lame name, but 'user friendly' remote), run MacOS X 10.4.4 "LifeStyle Edition" with Front Row 2.0 (DVR + TV), have a built-in 802.11n (or WiMax or UWB) wireless base station, with hookups for all your hi-def AV equipment. It will have 3.5" SATA150 hard drive(s?) with choices of 160/250/500GB, and feature a PCI-Exp x16 mid-range GPU with 128MB or 256MB of fast DDR2 VRAM, as well as 512MB-4GB of DDR2 RAM... Available in standard or BTO configurations, and priced from $750 (hey, it has a base station, etc.!) on up to $2,500 for the extreme AV-phile with BluRay...
Later in 2006 Front Row 3.0 will use Delicious Library (licensed or bought outright), which will enable your Apple DVR to know the contents of your full collection of physical DVDs & CDs, as well as any music, videos, tv shows, short films and features you have purchased from iTMS. If you want to watch a DVD that is not currently in the DVD player, it will list it as an option via the Delicious Library database it has collected. Also, it will use the high-speed cable to connect to the iTMS.
• Displays: I don't see Apple using Plasmas - go to your local electronics superstore and compare picture quality of all the LCDs & Plasmas... The LCDs may cost more, but they are much sharper for HD... That's why there is little room for Apple to increase their "flagship" display size from the present 30", while maintaining their standards. Maybe something in the 37-42" range - beyond that the price skyrockets...
• One fantasy scenario: Apple takes the guts of the G5 iMac, turbocharges it with Intel's Viiv, then "marries" it to a 30" or larger LCD HDTV... Either by itself, or working with the Apple AV-Media DVR mentioned above, it would rule the digital home.
• MacOS X: 10.4.4 released at MWSF for PPC and "MacIntels" (harder for hackers to load it on generic PCs). Steve won't say much about Leopard - at last year's WWDC, amongst the Intel stuff, he said that Apple would wait until this year's WWDC to focus on 10.5...
• iLife '06: Will include both Front Row 2.0 (with USB-IR remote for "legacy" PPC Macs), PhotoBooth and this mysterious "iWeb" that Apple "leaked" on its very own website.
• iWork '06: Pages 2.0, Keynote 3.0 and Numbers, this rumored spreadsheet component... Personally, I don't know why Apple didn't just try to take the best elements of AppleWorks and start from there - was it Carbon or Cocoa? The page-layout functions of Pages sound nice (I've never actually seen it), but they could have been added to a Cocoa-rewrite of AppleWorks.
• .Mac: There's the "apparent" 1TB transfer bandwidth some members have spotted... And rumors of price cuts for the service... What I'd like to see is a .Mac Premium level, where for $150 per year you gain access to the "iTMS Global Bazaar", which allows .Mac members to preview & purchase content from any of the international versions of the iTMS - Apple would handle the currency exchange as a courtesy to its Premium members. Also, there have been rumors of better homepage features (iWeb?)... I think one of the big changes has to do with the following area of Apple's pie...
• iTMS: More video content announcements at MWSF, including TV shows at the various international iTMSs... However, because of the greedy media conglomerates they won't allow "cross-border" purchases to happen (yet!). This NY state Attorney General's lawsuit against the music labels will "put the fear of god in 'em" when they sit down to re-up their iTMS licenses this Spring (variable rates will not be in the equation). I think we may see a subscription-type service for video - main benefit is higher bit-rate & resolution, while not clogging up your hard drive with GINORMOUS AV files.
Around the end of March, Apple will announce a world-wide iTMS contest for the 1 Billionth download ($10,000 Apple Store "online" gift certificate + $10,000 iTMS gift card to lucky downloader; as well as a 60GB iPod + 1,000 songs for each downloader of the Nine 1,000,000th song leading up to it).
Later this Spring Apple will release a true vPod, which integrates with their AV-Media Server. It will have a 5.5-7.5" LCD, and either a 80 or 100GB SATA, as well as an SD card slot (maybe a Type-II PC Card slot with multi-format reader?). It will run a subset of Front Row (with iLife & QuickTime functions as needed), plus use Widgets (Stickies, weather, Yellow Pages, etc.).

It is stupid to take all rumors to seriously, but some will likely be true. I agree with many of your points.
Check https://buyersguide.macrumors.com// I think it gives you a good idea on whats to come. I also think the most obvious thing to be announced with an update is the ibook.Powerbook fans might have to wait a month or two for their update.
Agreed, as far as the iBook/Powerbook thing. Oops. I think I've said this to you before or something. XD Deja-vous.WindowsSUCKSX5 said:
after reading all this... I'm super excited to check out this keynote on tuesday, no matter what happnes, I think it'll be very interesting, be it Plasmas, minis, iBooks, or even a solid roadmap of whats to come in the new year
Don't believe the Apple DVR rumors. Sure the mini is a fine digital hub. It will no doubt keep getting even better. Expect it. Intel, sure. That could happen early. But I would be really surprised to see any sort of DVR functionality from Apple.
Recording television is NOT in anyway the model they have introduced. Apple is about paid-legal-downloads (and unfortunately, low quality ones at that!). I expect to see a very TiVo-like functionality introduced into Front Row 2.0 during Steve's keynote. However, it will NOT be for recording television. It will be for scheduled "subscription" downloads. That is what makes the most sense with their current model. You want all the episodes of Desperate Housewives? You'll get them ala TiVo's "season pass" type of setting from iTunes or possibly right from within Front Row 2.0 itself. The big difference will be that the show will automatically download to your computer as soon as it is posted, NOT recorded. They could stick with current pricing ($1.99 a pop) or possibly move to some kind of season pricing where you would pay one fee and get every episode for that season as they air.
I can't see Apple doing any sort of DVR. There's just no evidence that they want to be in that market. Most of those services practically give away the hardware and make it back with subscription fees. I don't expect Apple to be giving anything way in the way of hardware and they are already making money hand over fist with their current model of "pay per download".

I generally agree with you that Apple has set things up for this business model of "DVR" functionality. The problem with this model is that it's offering people the ability to buy something they already get for free (or at least in their cable subscription).
This model tries to extend the reasoning for pay per view -- $4 for content that you'd otherwise have to drive to Blockbuster or get Netflix for -- to content that is not premium, like "Desperate Housewives."
I could see this model working well (1) for movies, which basically would compete directly with Blockbuster, Netflix, Comcast On Demand, etc; (2) as a replacement for cable, where you get a tier of content monthly for a certain price; or (3) premium content that you can't get anywhere else, like a sort of HBO for iTunes.
I just don't see people paying $30 or $40 a month to download content they already get from Comcast unless they're dropping their cable. And I don't see people doing that unless Apple can replace the content.
That is what I believe is their plan. Many "internet savvy" people have already ditched cable and satellite. They get most of their "content" as BitTorrents online. Those are the people I think Apple wants to go after first. Apple wants to compete with that by making it easier to obtain content and still making a buck on it. Similar to what they did with music.Porchland said:
My only personal issue with what Apple is doing is they have not yet "replaced" CDs or DVDs. They are not delivering the same quality those two formats can deliver. I mean, c'mon, it's 2006, can we get full quality songs and shows? They already have DRM. Where's the problem? What are we waiting for? In that respect, I do no believe they have replaced the media delivery form factor yet with online delivery.
Guess we'll see what Steve has planned on Tuesday!
I expect the shuffle to be available in black and white models. I also think it's possible with the iBook, the iMac and the Mac Mini.
I DON'T expect tablets to happen with macs (not replacing standard models anyway). It makes the hinge even weaker. BTO iSights built in to powerbooks and iBooks is possible, but I think they will be BTO, or standard with the option to remove them. The idea of things moving broadband is great, but I don't want apple to remove dial-up modems from laptops just yet. Example, I go on holidays for a week and I like to use the holiday apartment's phone line for internet and because a dial of '0' to 'dial out' is required, broadband will not work with them

I was just on amazon and i noticed that they have a $200 rebate is this suspicious or is this just a coincidence or typical amazon. im not famillar with them so im not sure if they offer alot of rebates. here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ref=sr_1_3/103-5618720-3945423?_encoding=UTF8
EDIT: I checked the ibooks and they have a $125 rebate.

No, I still much prefer the two finger scrolling if you aren't using a mouse. It scrolls in exactly the same way as the 360 ball does on the MM and is a lot better than having an area dedicated for scrolling. The Sony laptops tend to have the ability to customise their trackpads, (or should I say touchpads for non-Apple laptops), to allow vertical scrolling and horizontal scrolling as well as other functions, but it doesn't feel as natural as placing an extra finger on the trackpad and moving freely.blakbyrd said:
While a ball would work, I think it isn't needed and may ruin the design of the product, not to mention catching it accidentally when you are working.
This is another very good point and what could be changed on the new iBooks. Add a PC card slot and one or two other "standard" features and then make the PowerBook a higher spec machine, (faster dual core over single core, more, faster memory, bigger, faster HDD, better graphics). That would allow for an easier distinction between the two and yet you can see you have the same functionality. It also means that when people are thinking of switching, (lower end here, not those switchers who want the very best), they can do a more direct comparison between an iBook, Sony, Dell and Acer. Isn't that the main thing Apple wants these days?AidenShaw said:
It's always the "best MWSF yet" and most of the time a lot of people are disappointed.liquidh2o said:sounds like this'll be the best MWST yet
Well, one possibility is if they did something akin to the iTunes Exclusives that you see for certain albums on the iTMS. It has an extra song or two, maybe a music video, the CD liner & artwork, etc.Porchland said:
DVDs are already offered with Special Features, and it seems that every few months they try to "milk that dead cow" for more - how many DVD versions have there been of Gladiator, 3-4 that come to mind. Also, I've seen places like Best Buy that have a DVD with exclusive content you won't find on any other retailer's copies.
For sure, Apple needs to upgrade the bit rate & resolution of their video offerings. Then they need to bundle exclusive content that you can't find elsewhere - at least not at any other online store. The idea of a "season ticket" for certain shows is a great idea, but I think it has to be more than that. With the DVD releases of both feature films and tv shows now appearing as little as 3 months after the original theatrical release and/or end of a tv season, many people feel they can wait...
Apple needs to offer them compelling reasons to download the show the next day, and the studios & networks have to help them. This Google deal is interesting, particularly that the content providers set their own prices & bit rates. Makes me wonder if Apple will do something similar - though, if the music labels think I'll pay a premium for the 90%-crap stuff they shove down our throats, they're nuts. I want choice, and I want it global (iTMS International Bazaar!).
you seen this....

This tells me Apple is coming out with a Powerbook Tuesday.Price and ship date TBD
But I tell ya..That built-in camera is ugly.imho..
I say there is going to be a digital music player that is going to be introduced at MWSF, it is going to hold 10,000 songs in your pocket. It is going to be revolutionary and everyone is going to want to have one.
Hold on this is 2006. Shoot I am about 5 years too late.
