[Mr Maui]

stop teasing us; we don't want invites we want answers. Damn apple and their effective plugging of leaks!

Look at all the hype and media attention generated by Apple's "plugging of leaks". Apple ain't nobody's fool. 😀

I'm not going to expect anything in particular. That way I won't be disappointed. Do hope that it is something more that just updates to current lineup. Something unexpected.

8 - 10" Tablet Macs/Books please 🙂
Video iPod that is also available in the brushed aluminum design

I'm excited and really looking forward to this event. At least it won't be long now.

Me too! All of the conflicting and changing info from ThinkSecret and Apple Insider have made this more exciting! TS was so dead-on for a while that it was almost anti-climatic when the announcments would actually come out...

 

[Dandaman]

It might have been posted somewhere else, but is macrumors gonna have an update type thing on their front page?

I'm just glad the stock is now closer to $50 then it was last night after market hours, phew!! Hopefully after this announcement we get back to the normal trajectory!

 

[Mr Maui]

Well, that 7 pm where I am, how's that for waiting! 🙁 😉

Um ... everybody will still get it at the same time, no matter what time of day it is where you are. It just "seems" longer because it is later in the day on the 12th, but remember ... when the rumors started for you, they started 9 hours earlier for Cupertino. 🙂

 

[wrxguy]

Thank you Mach4X0r. I'm there now if you want to chat. 😉

 

[Mr Maui]

I'm a little upset. I usually am at the computer getting the updates, but I have a client lunch that will probably last from 12-2. Arrrrgggghhhh! I guess I will be the last to know.

Dine at Starbucks and use your WiFi to get the updates. Tell the client you are researching new avenues for them. 🙂

 

[Squonk]

Here's hoping for something cool...

Do I NEED a new PowerBook? Not really.
Do I NEED a new iPod? No.

But I just can't wait to see what Steve pulls out of his black turtleneck today... 🙄

AAPL will be at $55 by days end ... mark my words. (of course, you can unmark them if it's not) 😉

I hear its the third coming of Jesus himself

Jesus will walk on stage after being quickly introduced by Steve Jobs. He will then attempt to repair the minor scratches found on Steves ipod Nano.
All Hail Jesus. For LAtin MAcrumor folks, thats Hay-Zeus.

Expect the worse, it can only get better

I can almost hear a global "Is that it?" echoing round the world faster than Superman could ever dream. I thought when the new iMacs were rolled out that the "listen to what they want and don't disappoint" department had finally been invited to the Product meetings. Then the Mac Mini upgrade arrived and it was clear they were only invited by mistake. Unfortunately the "build up the media event tension" team are doing the same stellar job they always do. So, I'm expecting the company to close down and announce their products will all self-destruct at midnight - anything else will seem like good news.

Anything but more bloody iPods would be great though.

Not sure how I feel about it being wider - I like how it has always been easily 'pocket-able' - I hope that doesn't change.

That's only an ad though, not an actual photo, so we'll just have to wait and see I guess...

 

[SyAmine]

First post wooo!! 😀 Do you think there will be a video of the event to watch after, or is that just me being hopeful?

 

[han_solo94]

UK site showing between 5 and 8 days for shipping of 15" and 17" Powerbooks. But as this is a "media" event probably going to be iPods again isn't it!

Does anyone else realize that the free song didn't change yesterday, and still hasnt changed on the ITMS?
