Some last minute info coming out from AppleInsider and MacRumors this morning.
- New nano has motion sensor, and shuffle activated with a "shaking motion" :confusion: - Nine colors total, including orange (yay!), purple and - for the first time on an Apple product - yellow(!) I assume the other colors are blue, green, pink, silver, red, black(?) and then the three news ones. That makes nine. Pretty much covers all the bases. Surely there's something for everyone in those nine offerings? I also assume that they'll move away from the pastels and back to the more vibrant, eye-catching (and popular?) hues of the 2G nano. Also: - Shuffle in five colors - iPod touch looking pretty close to what it already does (no colors or new color on back, like white) - Nano expected in 8GB and 16GB models - The touch in 8, 16 and 32GB versions - 120GB iPod classic (still black or silver) |

You get banned for creating an entire, dedicated thread to that fact. It's unnecessary, its own thread about it. From the chief himself: Quote:
So yeah...the store is down, and has been for nearly an hour now. Sometimes they'll take it down a full hour or two before an event, sometimes it goes down minutes before. Just depends. |

I always get a kick out of that huge groan that goes up when they unveil something cool, and then say "we're announcing today and taking pre-orders, and we'll be shipping by the middle of next month..." or whatever.
You can just feel the joy being sucked out of the room. "Awww, man...I wanted one for this weekend!" |

I'm really amazed that they've pretty much wasted the whole year with the iPhone and now new iPods, I really really need a new MacBook and the current offering has got to be the worst buy ever.
But I realize it probably isn't going to be today. It's almost like the computer business isn't sexy enough for anymore. "What's a Canadian farm boy to do?" |

Here's an interesting iPod nano rumor to chew on:
http://gizmodo.com/5047148/first-loo...nano-interface I think it's legit, actually. It seems to fit well with the direction Apple's headed with iPods, without taking it too far past the old interface in one jump. They made an incremental change last year, and it seems about time for another. [edit] Wait a minute. Does that say 1:65 or 1:05 for the time elapsed? Last edited by Wyatt : 2008-09-09 at 11:31. |

It would be a difficult segue into any laptop. Even the 'one more thing' would be odd to pull a MacBook out of the blue. |

Although I'll tell you something, my iPhone is really close to making me not need a laptop, we got it before vacation and it filled in admirably for a laptop that cashed just before we left. "What's a Canadian farm boy to do?" |

My iPhone is exactly the reason I no longer crave a laptop! I've used my PowerBook mainly for e-mail, music and surfing/Internet access when out and about (I very rarely do any "real work" on it when away from home). But now my iPhone does those three things wonderfully, and in a much smaller, more convenient package.
So that's why my next Mac will be an iMac (and probably one of those 2.4GHz 20" refurbs for $350 off their original price). I get so much more for the money (even if I bought new) than I could ever get on a comparably spec'd Apple notebook. |
