WWDC Rumors: Banner Images, Leopard Preview

Of course the banner has no new images on it. Why would it? That would spoil the keynote! And of course it has the Leopard DVD, everyone knows there will be a preview.

And as for all those people saying that there won't be any new consumer products at the keynote... wasn't the iSight announced at a WWDC?

I'm a DEVELOPER and I want a speed bumped iMac, dammit! Not all devs are rich.
 
Fingers crossed for new iPods, credit card ready for MacBook Pro updates, and wish Apple doesn't release that dog ugly iPhone that circulating around the new :rolleyes:
 
Oh and to everyone looking at the pics of the iPhone and saying "God I hope Apple doesn't do this"... if they do, don't go complain about it on the forums because 5 years from now when they own 70% of the market, someone will post that thread and laugh at you. :)

Like me!

(I thought the iPod was lame when it came out too. And I hated Macs back then.)

Oh ya... he's something cheesie... this has been on my mind for a while. In january, Steve demoed GarageBand and showed how to make PodCast. He did that fake podcast and said 'Hi this is steve, and this is my Super secret apple PodCast' then he proceded to make jokes about the next iPod... he said the next iPod coming out would have a 10 inch screen and weigh 8 pounds.
Well... Tuesday is 8/10


Remember 2 years ago when Jobs demoed Spotlight... he searched for 'Paris' then searched for iMac. Sure enough... the iMac G5 was released at Paris.

I just thought that was interesting.

Thursday is 8/10
Tuesday is 8/8 :rolleyes:
 
That thread Spook posted is hilarious! Man we're so many people 100% wrong with their opinions... the iPod owns the world now! I wasn't a fan of Apple back when the iPod was introduced, so I didn't have any expectations. I didn't even know it was coming. But now I sit here with both my 3G 30GB and 5G 60GB iPods on my desk. :D
 
BEST POST EVER FROM THAT INTRO OF THE iPod


iCan't believe it!
It's now at the online Apple Store!

$400 for an Mp3 Player!

I'd call it the Cube 2.0 as it wont sell, and be killed off in a short time...and it's not really functional.

it's really funny to read those posts now. They should be infamous. I wouldn't want to be the one who posted that.

Heh, yeah. I especially love all the posts about how it was a huge mistake for Apple to get into the mp3 player market (that the iPod would die a quick death and be a colossal failure).

I think that is the problem when we buy so much into the speculation and hype - Apple releases something that, on the surface, is boring (i.e. "WTF?!?!?!? It's just an MP3 player and not some revolutionary new device?!!?!?!?"), but which has a much greater chance of success than some of the more out there stuff we want them to do. As a former Newton user, for example, I would be ecstatic if Apple did release a Newton 3000 or something, but I also realize that there is a good reason they aren't doing that - there still just doesn't seem to be a widespread market for PDA's at this point. So an MP3 player might be boring, but it turned out to be a very smart move for Apple.

That just say to you how important an amazing Steve Jobs is. The man has the talent to foresees what will be a hit and what won't be.
We are luck to have him and Apple together. I remember when he was not behind Apple and how things were bad. I am glad he is there now.
The truth is what seems to be the logical thing for us might not be for him, so, I rather have him tell me that.
I hope he will stay at Apple for long, long time.

The iSight isn't up there either. Maybe it's getting axed.

I thought it was already being axed because it doesn't meet some environmental laws now....I think iSight will be integrated from now on.
 
I hope isight stays. Maybe on a smaller format.
I have mixed feelings about the built-in isight. For a desktop model I think I rather have the stand alone isight so i can easily move it around.

If they redo the iSight I think it should be either;

Better resolution 1280x1024/720
Wireless - so I can use if on my tv away from my mac for chatting / use it as a security camera / use it as a scanner for the likes of Delicious Monster
 
iSight?

sorry bout this post
my brother in law wanted to try the forums out and so i let him use my account
he thinks he know what he talking about when it comes to macs
 
I'm glad that I'm not one of those people that spited the iPod at it's genesis. I've always wanted one of those suckers. And I do have one now. :p

I have it on relatively good authority that they change the banner after the keynote. Seems ridiculous to me though.

Maybe the real banner is being obstructed by the current one?

Would be a smart way to get rumor sites to just stew in their own juices. Rather than have a mysterious banner under a drape, just show a 'fake' banner.

Think about it - if the current banner shows all the current products, then doesn't that preclude the introduction of replacements?
 
theres probally not gonna be anything underneath the banner
everything that reveals a new product is covered up with a black curtian
you can even see them in the pic
they're at the top left and middle right
 
i love it how apple brands everything
thats why its such a great company
if you look at the crates in the foreground, you can see the Apple logo on each side of the crates

I also doubt we'll be seeing a phone, but anything's possible with Apple.

Nobody was really expecting this, remember?

What a fantastic thread. Thanks for the link -- some of those comments are histerical.
