The Keynote Game

[hyperpasta]

ANNND... Welcome to.... THE KEYNOTE GAME!

Who can guess what his Steveness says tomorrow? Closest guess wins! Do what you think is likely, not what you personally want.



My guess is:
- Welcome to our special end-of-year Macintosh event
- A few quick updates before we get into the heart of the matter
- The Mouse: Introducing the Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, $79
- The Power Mac: New and improved high-end monitor with Dual Cores
- The Powerbook: HD displays and lots of cool extras
- But there is one more thing,
- Now it's time to talk about the iPod
- Meet the 5G iPod... now thinner with nanoesque sharp edges
- Plays video! Nodobody wants to watch a feature film on a 30inch screen
- Meet iTunes 5.1 - A doubled music video collection
- Also includes huge library of video podcasts from our partner, Current TV
- Use BitTorrent to download video podcasts
- Current TV is owned by Al Gore, Apple board member, and broadcasts
"pods" (mcough) of various things of interest (news, sports, etc.)

I'm guessing you won't be hearing the words 'G5' and 'PowerBook' in the same sentence – just to nip that one in the bud.

I think Stevie is gonna call in sick and go fishing.

Haha.. right.

Well after checking the Apple online store and noticing that the BTO pages have been change for all Apple computers except the Power Macs and Power Books I guess it's pretty much a guarantee that they will be updated tomorrow. Apple probably didn't feel like changing the site realizing that they would just be changing it in a few hours so they decided to wait.

I think the Power Macs will have only one Dual Dual configuration while the other two models will go to only dual core. I'm also hoping that the Power Books will get Freescale's dual core G4. The good thing that comes out of this for Apple besides sales going through the roof is that it will give them more time to work all the possible kinks out of the first Intel PB's. Realistically I don't think that will happen but at a guy can dream, right?

As for what else to expect.. my guess is new AirPort Extreme and of course the iPods.
