They changed their "photos"

Hey a new rendering is up. This time at least their background plate is a photo. A little tip for spymac.vom.... USE HIGH RESOLUTION TEXTURES. That way, everything won't look like ****! And lower your bump map on the cover, and try using a specular map...it helps add to the realism. Also, I like how the iWalk is giving off different shadows than everything else in the scene. What a scam of a site!
 
So Fake

Why would apple have somthing with Dell written on it. That right there gives it away.
 
Old images?

Sorry, I was out of town for the weekend, and wasn't about to access the web at 14.4... does anyone happen to have the old "bathroom" pics of this doodad in their cache that they can post somewhere?

I'd also like to point out that when the first images of the Cube were leaked, they got the same "God, what a horrible render!" treatment... you never know... ;)
 
I agree

Corrent, Why Dell?? and also, why has it got an old Apple Keyboard, surely every Mac in apple would have a Pro Keyboard. Also look at the size compare with the space bar, it is tiny, the small buttons must be only half a cm or 1/4 of an inch accross.

Dream on.
 
Search on Slashdot

I did a search on Slashdot just now for apple stuff. CmdrTaco has posted an article (this morning) with iWalk and PDA in the title. It hasn't been released to the site yet, but (apparently due to a bug) it showed up in the search.

Looks like this might be the real thing...

Just because it's on Slashdot it's true?

He might be commenting on the fake. Jesus....
 
Looks like he /was/ commenting on a fake. The reason I suspected it was real was that it was posted at 9:30 and wasn't on the site. It was just buggy Slashcode instead. I figured there was an NDA that expired at, say noon, or whenever the press release went out.

My bad...

"iwalk"

it is abvious it is a Photoshop picture.
The disign looks like a 3 years old Minidisk Player - nat Apple design at all -
Who would make a 2 panels PDA today ????

And if you look a the picture, there is a pack of Marlboro, and I don't think that today you will find ONE pack of cigaretes in the Apple Campus, as it is a NON SMOKING zone.....

And the Apple on the device is not centered .....
 
You won't believe what it is...!

I'm just bowled over, I couldn't - no, I wouldn't - allow myself to believe that Apple would release something... this exciting, this groundbreaking.

It's a breakthrough, truly!

Seriously though, is it just me? How long do we have to wait for this announcement ! It's obviously either: A) so incredible that all the journalists/movers-and-shakers that were invited are lost for words; or B) so incredibly awful that all the journalists/movers-and-shakers that were invited are lost for words.

doesn't have a peep about this yet. perhaps because of security around the event, they figured its better to wait to report about something tanglible before turning themselves into a rumor mill.

i hope the earth shakes today with something kick-ass from Apple. if anyone has the ability to do it, it's Apple. historically they innovate like no one else.

anything resembling a pda = joyous, even if only a component of a larger device.
 
nothing to be announced

I have to say, it would be an amazing hoax if they didn't announce anything. I haven't seen this kind of frenzy since the amazing, world-saving invention 'ginger'.
Whatever happened to that? I haven't been saved yet.

Kind of illustrates what a bunch of pathetic mac-addicts we are, sigh. Don't I have anything better to do with my time?
 
Otherwize

Just think if we were not Mac-Heads we would be doing stuff like working, oh my god NEVER!!!! well atleast not until tommorow.

months of speculation to come

I'm going to guess here, too, that the product will be announced today but not available for several months, like the iMac. Thus we've got several long months of intense speculation (and possibly gadget desire) to look forward to. Thanks Apple, I used to get work done, you know...
 
i just want to know if i'll be heading out to the Apple Store today or not (leaving work early)...

c'mon... dying to know here ;)

- well i posted before the one above i thought... maybe i'll need to know whether to save up cash or not then ;)
 
Dont think so

Hi

I don't think you will see for sale for a while, most probably a few weeks before Christmas. As normally companies are judged on how well they do a Christmas.

Thanks,

apple stock down

strange...apple stock down on fairly high volume. I guess some people know already...?
or is it just more speculation?

Re: Apple Stock and BathRoom
