Macworld San Francisco 2008 Keynote About to Start

[Nukemkb]

making me nervous on a new macbook

 

[SilentLoner]

I agree, I will wait to see if Britain's not left out of this one before I consider a tv

 

[numediaman]

updates slowed down?

Nothing to update.

Steve has spent 45 minutes on this stuff. That leaves about 45 minutes left. Knowing that the last 15 minutes is about thanking people, that leaves 30 minutes to introduce the big product -- half the time he spent on iPhone.

 

[VZGuy]

you can watch podcasts on your Apple TV as well including HD podcasts, which he is playing one of now

 

[xchaotic]

+1

Looking at the presentation it seems it's all very quick to rent and start watchning, so you ready your popcorn and then rent it...

Unless you want to stream HD over modem that is

But seriously, I agree, 24hrs might not be enough for full HD movie to prebuffer.

There is always "One more thing".

 

[SilentLoner]

how much will the new apple tv be?

 

[fadethis]

Needs to $199 and under.

needs to be $1.99 or less.

 

[twoodcc]

going pretty good so far

Hence the 30 days to watch it.

It would allow you to pre-buffer a movie or two and know they are there before you start the 24 hour "Watch Clock".

 

[Ant1-Hero]

hes spending waaaaaaaaayyyy to much time on movie rentals, who really cares, move on steve

 

[macEfan]

I like the sound of that new AP extreme with the hard drive. Guess I know what I'll be saving up for next!

 

[VZGuy]

he is showing us now that you can view photos from your .mac account

you can also view other peoples photos

Wow, his speeches are being analyzed for everything now. Even if 2008 manages to keep up to the hype, 2009 won't, the expectations are just too high...

 

[VZGuy]

you can set them as a background or a screensaver

 

[riscy]

If you have got the movie, someone invites you out for dinner or to the pub you can't really say "I have to watch this movie in the next 24 hours"

[FJ218700]

Needs to be lower than that. Max $299.

depends on the hard drive

 

[iStefmac]

Library HD titles are the same $3.99. Its the newer titles that are $4.99. Its reasonable IMO

HOW?

How is it reasonable?

99 cents for 24 hours........that would be reasonable.

 

[Project]

Did he say that it can fetch podcasts without using a Mac/PC?

 

[VZGuy]

you can play videos from .mac as well

 

[Shadow]

Not really...a product that was promised to be free, $20 for an iPod touch update and expensive movie rentals that wont be in the UK for months.

 

[gazfocus]

Has anyone been disappointed so far?

 

[VZGuy]

all of this is possible and is being done without a computer

Rentals and viewing movies over the internet is going to supposed to be huge in the near future.. this is the entire reason for the writer's guild strike, so i'd say it's a pretty big deal
