I pretty much said it in the thread title.

mitchell_pgh · Jun 28, 2005, 11:11 AM

I'm guessing cell phone.

I'm wanting a new iBook.

ScreenShuffle 2Gb and 4Gb? iBook? Motorola iTunes phone?

Apparently iTunes 4.9 is full of phone iTunes phone references, so I'll go with that.

wow. that was fast

RAILhead · Jun 28, 2005, 11:32 AM

The phone announcement will be the focus of the 7th event. New Shuffles *shouldn't* be released since they just dropped the price of the 1GB. Typically, this price drop would only occur as a new replacement was introduced -- not days before.

However, I'm still going to wait until after the 7th before ordering my 1GB Shuffles, just in case...

I agree. I would sais that the Shuffles are going to stick around for 2-3 more months and then we will see something new.

I want that phone so f***ing bad, it hurts (watch, it'll prolly suck). I am at the end of my contract and tired of my t616.

I was rather disappointed when i woke up this-morning only to find the 30 gig ipod gone.

grrrrrrrrrr.........

analogika · Jun 28, 2005, 12:18 PM

Well, and the 20 gig with color, and the 60 gig and 1 gig shuffle noticeably cheaper...

What is July 7th? MacWorld Boston? I don't think anything has been announced there in forever... I don't see why it'd be a big deal...

ajprice · Jun 28, 2005, 01:38 PM

Theres no Macworld or anything, but Apple have announced a product presentation meeting kinda thing.

Apple won't ever announce anything at MacWorld boston, since Apple does not participate in that event.

mitchell_pgh · Jun 28, 2005, 01:48 PM

I hear we are moving back to the motorola 680x0!!!

Superchicken · Jun 28, 2005, 01:49 PM

Oh well in that case... I'm betting that break out box for Garageband

nah... I dono... actually really I don't know what will be... though we could see Apple intro some stuff with M-Audio or something like that...

I don't really use Garageband much, but that little box does look nice.

That is kind of unlikely, considering that Emagic had a hardware department.

Voch · Jun 28, 2005, 02:47 PM

They're going to announce Numbers or whatever that rumored spreadsheet application is called.

JoshuaZ · Jun 28, 2005, 04:36 PM

Maybe they'll announce a switch to Intel chips...

oh.. darn... guess I missed that one.

Nah that'll be MWSF

CreepingDeth · Jun 28, 2005, 05:17 PM

iPod update was a disappointment. I'm getting 300 CD's in about a month, and a warranty that will be used, so I was hoping that they'd bump the capacity. I was really hoping for the ability to see advanced tag info and stuff like that. What a letdown.

I hope the phone doesn't suck. And I hope it's cheap.

Superchicken · Jun 28, 2005, 05:45 PM

Apple and Cheap? ha!

By the way how the heck are they STILL not using 80 gig drives? Toshiba was shipping those this time last year weren't they?

Odd, I seem to recall them having been announced as shipping this August/September.

Find me those drives, please.

where'd they get that?

turtle777 · Jun 28, 2005, 10:30 PM

iPod updates done... so whats coming on July 7th???

APPLE SWITCHES TO AMD !

Nodnarb · Jun 29, 2005, 02:28 PM

While I am almost sure the iTunes phone is coming, there is a possibility of a video iPod. With Apple taking away the iPod photo line, that leaves an opening on the high end side for an iPod video. We all know it's coming eventually, and with the iPod photo becoming the regular iPod, it seems to be the perfect time for Apple to release the iPod video.

Also, in the past, everytime Steve Jobs has been asked about the iPod video, he always does his little speech about "oh the screens to small, no legal content, etc." However, in the ABC shuffle podcast interview, Jobs just says we can't talk about future products.

Goldfinger · Jun 29, 2005, 02:40 PM

Yeah I wanted to buy a 80GB iPod + new Alpine radio for my car but I guess i'll hold. 60GB isn't enough, 80GB would be good for a few months.

Oh and the iTunes phone in the pic is fugly.

New Mac Mini's (updates)

El Gato · Jun 29, 2005, 03:43 PM

so what's july 7th? is there a conference going on or something?

analogika · Jun 29, 2005, 04:15 PM

count 19 posts up for an answer to that question.

storer · Jun 29, 2005, 07:01 PM

iTunes Phone or iBook or New iTMS

(I want any of them, iBook most, AUSTRALIAN iTMS and then Phone.)

villalobos · Jun 29, 2005, 07:45 PM

Apparently Mac minis

Nodnarb · Jun 29, 2005, 08:23 PM

The phone is definetely coming thursday. Appleinsider showed a bug in iTunes:
1. Check out the podcast preference in the iTunes menu. (then close the menu)
2. Change your display to 256 colors.
3. Re-open the iTunes preferences and give the icon another look.

I think that pretty much settles it. Even though I still think an 80 GB iPod video will be released sometime in the very near future, I don't think it's coming July 7th.
