The Official "Showtime" Thread

MacRumors will also try to provide live coverage here: http://www.macrumorslive.com/

 

After the event, Apple will be hosting a replay stream: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_...vent/index.html

Ok we're all set.

So what are you most excited about? I mostly the new video ipod (but will it still be an ipod?)

I beg for the iPhone and/or the widescreen video iPod.

I posted this in the schedule thread, but I noticed the Mac Mini price went down and the duo is $599. Somebody said it was like that, but I checked last week and it wasn't. Exciting, Macbook price cut?

All i beg for is a 10.4.8 Kernel with a speedup Rosetta workin on my H (peep) tosh ..sign

i really want a c2d macbook, but i think the event on the 25th is more likely for this, if it happens at all.

 

i have a nasty feeling we'll get the ipod/itunes stuff today, and c2d macbook pros on the 25th... leaving me and my macbook money at a loose end. ho hum, i guess i'll wait

What about iPod price cut? How much more are people willing to pay for a video ipod?

Well hopefully it will be a 6 gen ipod, so the price stays the same, but I was thinking more of an additional line of ipods for video.

Nevermind, the mac mini prices were like that. *sigh* Would like cheaper Macbooks. Oh well, a Mac Mini might be in order....

thats the only one my Purse could effort maybe by christmas..if nothing else breaks in the Household!

... i think the event on the 25th...

yeah, not a Special Event, but a special event, if you see what i mean

 

http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/21/apple-speci...ent-on-sept-25/

I'm a minority I know.. But I'm looking forward to and hoping for full Movie downloads from iTunes!

 

I already purchase a ton of TV shows.. adding movies would just perfect my iTunes experience (i'm an avid cinemanow/movielink user right now)

OK got that.

Steve is on

Offff we goo!

Macobserver link timing out from the traffic load... macrumors appears to be holding.

"iPod is getting enhanced today. 60% brighter with brighness control, 3.5 hours video playback (up from 2 hrs... big version goes to 6.5 hours), new headphones, gapless playback"
