Software Releases @ Event?

[Saberon]

What software do you think will be released on the October 4th event?

iOS 5 GM------- 99.99% chance (Holding on to that 0.01% it comes before...yeah right! haha!)
iTunes 10.5(or 11, not sure)- ----- 95%
Lion 10.7.2- ------- 50%

Any other thoughts/predictions?

Hi

I think that if iOS is going to GM that day, then iTunes must go; reason because for enable some options in iOS5 we will need iTunes installed first.

For example sync in WiFi in iOS5 need an indication in iTunes, the present version of iTunes does not have it, so maybe iTunes goes live that day.

I though iCloud will be integrated with Mac OS X too. That means an update.

I'd say it's fairly likely we will see all 3 at the same time on or just after the 4th.

I think your percentages are backwards. iOS5 requires OS X 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5, so the OS X and iTunes updates would need to be released first.

iOS 5 doesnt *need* 10.7.2, but they both use iCloud. You can install iOS 5 with Windows/SL if you wanted to.

I'm talking about the GM release in the first post, not the public release.

Well, you can't install it without iTunes 10.5 which requires 10.7.2 if you are on Lion. Apple isn't going to release it for Windows users first!

I'm talking about the GM release in the OP, not the public release.

To developers. Got it.

All 3 will be released that day. They cannot release the iPhone GM as it will have these features that we cannot use on the 4, and it will spoil the "whats new & magical" portion of the news event.

I think they will release an update to Snow Leopard too (maybe a 10.6.9 sort of update) to integrate iCloud into Snow Leopard. Or at least, that's what I remember reading about.

iOS 5 GM will probably have a few new features (like Assistant and maybe GPS Navi), but I'm not sure if they'll reserve that for the A5 chip.

I thought that 10.6.8 already included it or am I mistaken ?

Included iCloud? Well, I'm running 10.6.8 and don't see any iCloud support/hints anywhere. But that could be because they haven't opened up iCloud to the public... Not sure.

I might just have got my wires crossed but I thought I read reports online that it did. The last version of Snow Leopard I used was 10.6.7 before I upgraded to my new Mini with 10.7. You may well be right in that it's coming with 10.6.9.

iTunes 10.5 does not need 10.7.2 to be installed first at all.

Hmm, I was thinking that, when they turn on iCloud, shouldn't there be some sort of update to flip the switches, if you will, on Snow Leopard computers to get iCloud running? I know for Lion it will be 10.7.2, and I suspected it was 10.6.9 for Snow Leopard, but now I'm not sure.

 

[jacollins]

I expect 20 minutes of iOS5, 10 minutes of iTunes, 20 minutes new services like Match and iCloud, 10 minutes of 3'rd party developers, 20 minutes of photo/video editing, and then 10 minutes of the next iPhone hardware. Oh, and a one thing more of "it's in stores on 10/14". Too cynical?

There will be an iCloud update for Snow Leopard, but it won't be a full OS X update.

I don't think we will see anything released the day of event to the public. Just the GM and iTunes update for developers. Then everything will be released a week later.

You have no idea what you are talking about. iTunes 10.5 works just fine on 10.7.0 and 10.7.1 just the same as it works fine on SL.
