i agree about that part, its about time ... and i dont mean sth like pandora. thats super annoying, it never plays what i want just like shuffle :D

iTunes Match is a flop as well, i only use it too upgrade my mp3s and thats about it. they dont even seem to bother with it anymore, full of bugs and even worse on iOS6 as u cant delete or download individual songs anymore but apparently thats a "feature"

iTunes Match isn't without its flaws but I wouldn't call it a flop. For its advantages and, most importantly, price, I personally can't complain.
 
Hybrid display?

I think the combination of the term "little" with the multicolored background tends to infer that the devices will be small and have colored shells.

Does this mean iPad Mini w/ colors? Maybe. Do I just want an iPad with the Lightning connector? More than a iPad Mini. :apple:

Focus on books? Rainbow ink droplets on the invite? I wonder if Apple ironed out the details of those hybrid colour e-ink/LCD displays they patented a while back...

You sir are correct. Hope the retina macbook pro 13" is available like the rumors and I'll be complete. By the way I have only talked about it in the section "alternatives to ios" previously so not sure what ur on about. I even edited it for you. Just so you dint get too upset.

Mr. Kuo say 13" Retina Macbook Pro will be released in September or October and be "priced aggressively below $1,300.00".

That was the rumor printed here.

November 2 launch. But with a 4 week wait like the iphone?

I don't think there will be the supply issues. First, it's not the iPhone 5. There will be large demand, but people won't be standing in line at 4am (at least I would not).

Second, it's manufactured in Brazil, components will be easier to source if it's a non IPS display with an A5, or A5X.

Initial reviews will be crucial to demand. I also hope Foxconn implements lessons learned over how crappy they honor NDA's in China compared to Brazil.:apple:

where do they go after this ??

apple tv is a joke and is basically vaporware

It's ok. Not everyone can afford these products. Don't be angry. You're not alone. :apple:

thats just the way technology works tbh. Smartphones and Tablets are at its prime right now but saturated. theres not much u can change besides hardware specs in the future, just like it happened to the laptops or mp3 players and iPods.

what is there really to add besides "tweaks" to improve the current experience? a holographic display? eye laser implants? :confused:

iTunes Match was such a success that I actually have NEVER had ANY IDEA what the hell it is? That's how much of an impact it made. Failed project from the start that one.

Wow, well if YOU don't know what something is, then it MUST be a failed project. After all, you're just such a smart person and your opinion speaks for everybody. :)

One of the big rumors emerging from my sources is that the iPad mini MAY have Phone functionality, to compete with Samsungs Note. What is everyones thoughts about this?

My thought is that the rumors you are hearing are absurd.

I am hoping for an early release date if the smaller iPad rumors are true. I am looking to purchase something like that as a combination Birthday / holiday gift for a family member.

It is nice to see that after the passing of Jobs, the fall special events are continuing.

Same here. I want to buy this for my Pops 50 th B-day which is on the 6th of November !

The name "iPad Mini" seems to be taken for granted now. I think they might go for a less, er, belittling name.
The Mac Mini is like a pea compared to other desktop Macs, but an 8" version of a 10" model is another story. It's not like they call the 21.5" iMac the iMac Mini.
Click to expand...

In line with the 3rd generation iPad being called 'The New iPad', wouldn't be surprised if the 'iPad mini' is simply called 'The Smaller iPad'.

Moreover, I really hope the new unit's prices are going to be competitive. This is important, particularly with the likes of Amazon holding a very big lead in the 7-inch tablet market.
