MWSF: New Product?

Yes, I can't wait... Hardware or software? I'm praying for a new lifestyle deivce. It'll be something I think I don't need but by the end of the keynote I'll have the card out ready to hand over my money.:D
 
I'd like to hope, but the incremental upgrades from Apple recently have kept my expectations low.

I'm hoping for some updated iApps, and that's about it. Hopefully third party software and hardware folks will fill in the gap.

Anything else will be a suprise for me, which will be a pleasant change.
 
I kinda hope it's NOT a digital device like a Tivo because I just bought a Tivo for Christmas.
 
Well, I'm all out of money, but I'm sure if it is good I can figure out a way to pay for it. I always can . . .
The only thing I want from MWSF is iMovie 3.0!!!!! Come on Apple!!!!
 
A very positive article, I feel better! Liked its mention of the PowerPC 970 on its way later in 2003! The sooner the better, hopes its worth the wait! :)
 
AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC, AAC,

Not that I'm desperate or anything.
 
I think we will see small upgrades across all Mac lines(like speed bumps) until the 970. I agree with the article about the implementation of the 970, first in the Xserve and then in PowerMacs and/or in a new work station model by years end. Maybe the PowerBook will get faster G4s, that way the iBook can get those 1GHz G3s IBM has.

I think we'll see the iPhone, a Treo-like device, and maybe and new hand held to succed the Newton. I think Apple will come out with an answer to the Windows media PC from HP. Although, I think they'll have a more living room friendly form factor, and it may be more like a Tivo than the media PC. I'm also holding out hope on a iTablet.

Asfar as software goes, I think Apple will drop IE by the end of 2003. They will probabbly rebrand Chimera as iBrowse or something. If OpenOffice.org gets a native Aqua interface, I think Apple will seriously look at it as a foundation to their own non-Microsoft office suite(iOffice?). If iBrowse and iOffice came about, then that would really open the door for OS X on x86 since they would have some of the essential core stuff in their hands to port.
 
Yeah, now we know for sure that we get something good :)

I hope all of you are wrong. Maybe Steve has done it again, he found a way to send matter over the internet :D You must have a .Mac account to send anything fragile.

But really I want it to be something for the iPod, don't care just something :)
 
I hope it is like some handheld or something :-D .
That would be really nice for one of those rumors to come true, since there *have* been like 10000 reports of one. :(

Note to TOM800: Some people here don't have massive screens, and what you did qualifies as spamming I belive. (*cough* admin *cough*) ;)

Well I hope its something Usefull. Not like some company's software that apple bought and ported to the mac... since apple did like buy the movie making indestry.
 
iPod with bluetooth

I don't know about you, but adding Bluetooth to an iPod would be great.
 
One of the great things about the ipod is its speed at tranfering songs from mac>ipod through firewire -bluetooth is slow!

As long as Apple introduces an innovative product that could be useful to me i'll be happy! (Good press coverage a bonus!)

Oh yes, I can't wait for those blazing slower than USB 1.1 song transfers! Bring it on! :rolleyes:

Be careful about what you wish for ;)
 
could be a browser for a 'phillips' branded tv - they have a deal to use rendezvous (the networking tool)- thus adding interactive tv to the i-apps arsenal.

apple need to do something big though!
 
if it's something like a boring e-photo-frame (dynamic ornamental appearance anyone?) i'm going to puke.

something groovy that will take my breath away... something that's NEW, rather than an Apple take on something OLD would be excellent. please.
 
This may add to the fire, or not. I was at the Apple store in Plano today, and they were doing all transactions manually because their main transaction server was offline for some reason. I'm not sure, but was the online Apple store down sometime today?

It seems very odd to me. Maybe just year end maintenance. It was kinda funny because they had to fill out all of these special forms, and call in credit cards to get them approved. The people there were very nice though.

I wouldn't mind a new digital device. Things like this would help Apple in a time like this, when their computers are suffering because of lack of processor speed (yes, I know that processor speed isn't everything, but some people aren't buying Macs because of this) New products and innovations are what's going to help Apple in the near future, until we get some really kick @$$ dual PPC 970's :D :cool:

Wasn't the iPod Apple's take on a used idea? Some things can be improved on, it just depends on what Apple can do to make things cooler, more useful, and different...
 
OSX *lite* on a PDA!

Wouldn't that be great!? An Apple PDA that makes all those CE based PDA's look like a Speak-n-Spell!
Bright LCD, G3, OSX *lite* Aqua interface, Bluetooth and Firewire...

I've already convinced myself! Got my Visa out already.
 
apple is the consummate design house - no mass producer can match their innovation and quality. expect big things for macworld, coz steve wont disappoint.

pda would be good simply because apple will show everyone what they have been missin'; but i think apple will evolve the ipod into a hybrid mp3/pda that will dominate both markets and they haven't exhausted the mp3 to offer more yet...
