I would think that if Apple incorporated Blu-Ray players into it's computers that the MBP would be first. After all, it seems the MBP is first to get a lot of things. Weren't they the first to get the Intel chipset after the move from PowerPC? I'm sure that if Apple introduced Blu-Ray to the Mac that it would eventually expand across the entire line of computers (desktops and portables).
I would expect it to first be included in the Mac Pro, since the Mac Pro has a tray loading drive. The Macbook Pro would require a slot loading drive that would cost a ridiculous amount of money.
I dont know about you guys, but i honestly feel dumb for getting excited about a new version of software.
Ok sure im excited about new versions of OS X
but now iTunes?? like im literally looking forward to seeing its new UI, and just playing around with it.
Im such a nerd
Honestly I think this nano pic is real... everyone is doubting it just like the fatty iPod nano, but if you havnt noticed yet... apple way of designing things is being creative, and when people say "there is no way apple would go with that design!" Someone in apple smiles and says "looks like we did it again!"
Why? Well apple always shoots for something new, unique and stands out, because thats what will get your attention and make you rremember it. You all need to learn to trust apples designers, I dont mean to sound like im kissing apples ass... but their designers are geniuses

Yeah, but nowhere near as ugly as the current one. I just hope the rounded screen isn't part of it... and that they actually pick some decent colors for once
.It will NEVER ever happen. Forget it. Make your own or use Songbird (can even play protected aac files) if you don't like iTunes the way it is because it's not going to change. I totally agree that it's annoying that it's so slow, so old-fashioned, etc. Hopefully there will be some updates to that, but the extra features aren't going anywhere.
Congrats and good luck!

I think the order would be:
Mac Pro
iMac
MacBook Pro
MacBook
Mac mini
if indeed Blu-ray drives come to the Mac.
And the iMacs also went to Intel with the MacBook Pros in January.
And sometimes mockups and leaks don't do it justice, and you have to see the actual device before liking it.
I think it just means they don't ship on weekends. On Monday it will go back to 24 hours shipping.
By the time this update or these machines get released, how many people will actively be using HD-DVD? I understand your viewpoint, but undoubtedly the circumstances have changed since that "promise" was made. BTW when/where was this promise made, anyway?
iLife '05 was the last iLife suite to include iTunes (4.7) with the other applications. iTunes was always a separate, free download, but my guess is when iLife '06 came out iTunes was dropped from the suite to make room for iWeb.
iTunes 8.0
1) Restructure - With all the content you can have in iTunes now, Apple needs to create a top-level folder for each media type. Doing this makes it easier to backup specific content, prevents mixing of different content. Why Podcasts, TV Shows, and Movies are in iTunes MUSIC is beyond me.
- iTunes Audiobooks
- iTunes Applications
- iTunes Games
- iTunes Movies
- iTunes Music
- iTunes Music Videos
- iTunes Podcasts
- iTunes Ringtones
- iTunes TV Shows
2) Backup/Restore - iTunes is in dire need of a backup utility. The "Back Up to Disk..." command doesn't cut it. Features of this utility are:
- backup playlists
- full backups
- incremental backups
- backup top-level folders
- create backups based on criteria, similar to how smart playlists are created.
- choose the location of the backups.
- keep the folder hierarchies so it knows where to restore the files
- view content of each backup
- automatically select only the files that do not exist in the destination
- select or deselect specific files before doing a restore
3) Library Syncing - If iTunes can tell if there are songs on an iPod that are not in the iTunes Library, why can't it do the same thing with libraries on other computers.
No. Apple has never feared leaving small minorities of users behind as it continues to seek the top of the bell curve. No Mac Pro mini either I'm afraid.
It will be a MacPro first and it will be build-to-order and it won't happen until FCP Studio is rev'd to support Bluray.
I would also like to add an incremental metadata backup, so I can go back to say, last week, and see all the play counts and playlists I had back then.
Damn! i've been iScrew again!
Just brought my girlfriend a ipod nano pink in February, feel pissed about it now..but it was for Valatines day
It's not like you bought it yesterday. She got six months of use already so quit complaining.
i'm looking forward to all this stuff, but that nano is pretty ugly. maybe it'll grow on me though. can't wait for blu-ray!
I'd settle for music stored in the music in the music folder, video stored in the video folder at this point. But yeah, I wish they would break up the content into usable directories. I moved all my video podcasts out of iTunes and started using Miro since it let's you do organize it the way you want.
about the new nano picture...
i'm glad to see the old good form factor, gives the product better wheight balance while handling. And thank god(!!!) a FULL ANODIZED ALUMINUM CASE! YUPI! i´m just concerned about the curvy screen, more prone to fractures! but i'm digging it, let's wait and see...
cheers

Does "Blu-ray support" mean:
- Blu-ray data reading
- Blu-ray data reading and burning
- Blu-ray data reading, data burning, and movie watching
- Blu-ray data reading, data burning, movie watching, and movie making and burning
Because MS treats their employees with distane, they basically have stolen tech from other smaller companies who can't fight back, they refused to keep I.E as a sing program until the courts said no... do I need to go on? There is a reason why they are starting to fail. This reason is they think they are Gods among men. Yet the meek will inhert the earth.
