My Guess:

iPod stereo with bluetooth connector for old iPods to play wirelessly. Perhaps has Wifi to send music to Airport express'.

Some special edition iPod

Full length movies on iTunes (Better video quality)

New Mac Mini (Intel chip)

New version of iTunes

iPod software updates

Quicktime updates

New iPod TV ad

NO IPOD VIDEO WITH TOUCH SCREEN.

There.

mduell · Feb 28, 2006, 12:19 AM

Updates:
Software update for Airport Express so you can plug a USB iPod into it.
Movies in iTunes at the same poor quality as the TV shows.

New:
Intel Mac mini
TV tuner and software

Keynote gets cancelled due to in-climate weather.

greenamp · Feb 28, 2006, 12:22 AM

There will most definitely be a Intel iBook.

Eug Wanker · Feb 28, 2006, 12:33 AM

Core Solo iBook
Core Solo Mac mini, with Front Row
New iTunes with new TV content, but no full length movies, and no HD content
iPod boombox
No iPod video with touch screen, even though I still really really want a 480x360 H.264 iPod.

Dark Helmet · Feb 28, 2006, 12:35 AM

Oh ya and IF there is an iBook I think it will be dual not solo.

hickey · Feb 28, 2006, 12:43 AM

iPod boombox/hi-fi/whatever its called
upgraded AE like mdeull said
some kind of mac mini as a media center, tivo type thing.

btw, are they having a live webcast thingy? I'll have some time to kill in editing class.

Gator Lager · Feb 28, 2006, 12:46 AM

I agree. The intel iBook will have a Core Duo in 1.5 and 1.8ghz configurations.

Sourbook · Feb 28, 2006, 12:54 AM

Mac mini DVR.
Integrates iTunes Music/Video store and CATV via Front Row.

mindwaves · Feb 28, 2006, 12:55 AM

Steve will wear a turtleneck.

ironknee · Feb 28, 2006, 12:56 AM

too soon for new ipods...

new ibooks big and small.

since the rumors are that apple is not ramping up for the macbook pro 12", i suspect an ultra small laptop that is smaller than the ibook...

Dark Helmet · Feb 28, 2006, 12:58 AM

Oh ya, the Apple website will get updated. (But that was an easy one).

The keynote stream will be available later that day.

El Gato · Feb 28, 2006, 01:06 AM

Roz Ho, even if she is not in the building, will give a horrible presentation somewhere.

And I will fight off the flu with nothing but apple juice.

BRussell · Feb 28, 2006, 01:24 AM

iPod home system.
Mac mini.
No iBook.
No tivo thingy, just the same ol' front row on the mini.

Agasthya · Feb 28, 2006, 01:29 AM

Minor updates to the iTunes Music Store - yet iTunes will be incremented to 7.0.

wei · Feb 28, 2006, 01:39 AM

Daveecee · Feb 28, 2006, 02:43 AM

YES!

Lateralus · Feb 28, 2006, 04:19 AM

Apple juice gives me the shits.

Sealobo · Feb 28, 2006, 05:47 AM

Motorola Mac will start running Windows XP

me too but I just love it, especially Martinelli's. It's great with Ketel, Belvedere or Goose!

Kevin · Feb 28, 2006, 08:41 AM

We need one more of these threads to make a set.

Apple Pro Underwear · Feb 28, 2006, 08:53 AM

Some new iPod in some format and new itunes video functionality of some sort. maybe with a airtunes like device.

Andy8 · Feb 28, 2006, 09:39 AM

1. an entertainment hub that streams Movies and TV series you buy from the itunes store.

2. a intel based mac mini with an ipod dock inbuilt.

3. a gsm phone - iPhone of sorts

4. tablet based/PDA styled remote control for your front row/entertainment hub thing-a-ma-jig.

Dakar · Feb 28, 2006, 09:46 AM

What time does this bad boy start?

SSharon · Feb 28, 2006, 09:48 AM

http://money.cnn.com/2006/02/27/tech...0227/index.htm

they seem to agree with some of you. I think (hope) we will see an airport express video.

alphamatrix · Feb 28, 2006, 09:53 AM

10:00 AM PST, which is pretty much when Apple always starts such things.

NYCFarmboy · Feb 28, 2006, 10:26 AM

if the ibook is still white I'll throw up.

Get the barf bag ready.

Dork. · Feb 28, 2006, 10:43 AM

Apple DVR, Apple buys TiVo.

Tyre MacAdmin · Feb 28, 2006, 10:45 AM

Intel iBook with pressure sensitive screen & pen.

Voch · Feb 28, 2006, 10:51 AM

iPod capacity bump / U2 bundle or something-or-other
movie content via iTunes (especially Disney stuff....isn't today the 50th Anniversary Lady and the Tramp DVD release, BTW?)
maybe the Intel-based Mac mini (sorry...no Core Duo...too expensive and hard to come by

)

I still think the MacBook and MBP 13"/17" models aren't going to happen before April...at least that would make more sense considering the MBP just started shipping. But who knows...with this Intel transition it's seriously up-in-the-air.

Voch

slugslugslug · Feb 28, 2006, 10:58 AM

- Special Edition iPod
- iPod Boombox (don't know if this means a boombox dock a iBoom or if it'll have a HD)
- Intel-based mini
- something like a mini but with a 3.5" HD and more home-entertainmenty outputs

- no iBook replacement
- no Real Video iPod™

- a pony

P.S. This confuses me:

Why? If you've got the iPod right there, you can just plug the audio cable into it. If the idea is that you charge the iPod and pass the music through, well, wouldn't Apple rather just sell a dock? And if you're gonna control the iPod's library from a computer that sees the Airport, why not just plug the iPod into that? Please elaborate.

hickey · Feb 28, 2006, 10:59 AM

i hope you're right about the quadruped

Eug Wanker · Feb 28, 2006, 11:00 AM

Oh yeah, Video Airport Express. Totally forgot about that one. It's needed. I wonder what kind of hardware chip it'd take though, and what the max reasonable rez is... 480p? Even 720p doesn't seem realistic in terms of real-world wireless bandwidth and processing power in a little power adapter-sized Video Airport Express, especially when cost is factored into the equation.

I'm not buying into the TiVo-like device either just yet. And like I said earlier, no HD content on iTunes.

Strong in this thread is the influence of the dark side of bodily functions. Focus everyone must.

Jasoco · Feb 28, 2006, 11:01 AM

If an Intel mini came out TODAY, I would have one ordered at the Computer Forum by 3PM.

I'm just placing all my bets on an i-mini. iMini. Intel Mini. A whatever they wanna call it.

wdlove · Feb 28, 2006, 11:03 AM

I find it best to not expect anything. That way I won't be disappointed,.

Aero · Feb 28, 2006, 11:14 AM

A new software called iFun lol.

slugslugslug · Feb 28, 2006, 11:14 AM

Actually, I have it on good authority that the Apple Pony will have six legs. 'Cause, I mean, everyone already wants a pony, so they gotta want this one more.

ShotgunEd · Feb 28, 2006, 11:15 AM

I really want an intel mini, I've been holding off on a purchase, using a 500Hmhz iBook for way too long.

davesimondotcom · Feb 28, 2006, 12:17 PM

I'm guessing an upgraded Intel Mac mini is a shoo-in. After all, I just bought my wife a mini last Thursday. LOL

I don't really care considering she got what she needs, but it would be typical to buy something right before upgrades.

rparke1 · Feb 28, 2006, 12:37 PM

a newly designed cinema display with higher res. eh, maybe just higher res screens, the design is great already, :-) and with more ports, heh, and built in isight

Yep. Confirmed! Thanks for taking one for the team.

f1000 · Feb 28, 2006, 12:51 PM

iPod Hi-Fi
Intel PowerMacs
MacBook Pros in the remaining sizes

Intel MacBook (maybe)
Intel Mac Mini media center (maybe)

bewebste · Feb 28, 2006, 12:55 PM

Apple will buy Disney, then Pixar will buy Apple, thus creating a paradox and ripping a hole in the space-time continuum.

Oh yeah, and a 2 hour demo of the new iCards. w00t.

MindFad · Feb 28, 2006, 01:16 PM

Some Intel minis and iBooks would be nice—in addition to whatever iPod doohickey they put out.

demibob · Feb 28, 2006, 01:33 PM

So this time there not allowing on site reporting. Must be something big there going to announce.
