A special AD/DC iPod?

New iPods... okay....

I'm selfishly waiting for the new Macbooks/Pros. Much more interesting IMO.

Rock on-



First?

Awesome. New iPods.

New iPods and most of all, a new iPod price point.

New iPods, blah blah blah. I need a new laptop. Apple help a brother out. I'm tired of waiting for the refresh.

If you need a new laptop, go buy one. If you "need" it. Otherwise, be patient.

"Let's Rock" Who said it had anything related to an iPod. "Let's Rock" could relate to new Mac's... "Let's Rock" or "Let's Kick Ass" with new Mac's.

ok. so if the new iPods have been leaked, and everyone seems to know what they look like, then what is there to be excited about. Its clearly a "music" not movie event, and clearly no new macs, so what are we to be excited about? - There has GOT to be something to get fired up about. What is it?

Time to Buy more AAPL.

A new version of Garageband? Eh? Eh?

Kid Rock September 9th!?!?

Oh wait, I read that too quickly. Let me try again.

"Time to Buy more AAPL"

Just about now, as it tanked over the past 20 minutes, from $171 down to $166. There's two more hours to go today, but it looks like markets aren't friendly today either...

@HMCIV

"Kid Rock September 9th!?!?"

I thought the same thing at first. I did a double take on that headline.

Hoping for newer cheaper iPod Touch. My iPod video is 3 years old. (And still kicking Zune's A$$).

I'm already in love with the 4G nano form factor. That's what I wanted Apple to do in the first place.

RE: " (whose calendar has been conspicuously blank for September 9th),"

er... umm... every Monday on the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Sept. Calendar is blank! SO your point MDN is.............

Microsoft is going to license OSX... ditching Windows.

But, will it be snappier?

Finally, a music subscription service. Hasn't that already been leaked?

@ MDN says what?

"er... umm... every Monday on the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Sept. Calendar is blank! SO your point MDN is............."


er... umm... every the 9th is a TUESDAY, not a Monday! so YOUR point is what exactly?.............

Physician heal thyself!

The news certainly ain't 'rockin' the stock price today.

Uh Oh: You left out Jobs is going to jail for stock options fraud but will die soon just as all of the iPhone 3Gs are recalled.

iPods with matte screens.

To those that only seem to read from this site: there will be no macbooks at this event. It has been suggested from the same source that got the info for this sep. 9th event that a seperate event for macbooks would be in October.

Touch GPS, help I can't find you!

No more basic ipod. All ipods come with 2,5 g phone with pre-paid sim option (except maybe ipod shuffle). Great way to get new customers.

the rumor mill in IP (from my anonymous firm) is that this is for new iPods, possible a new form factor for iPod touch, also a new wi-fi nano which basiclly moves the click wheel to a mult-touch function on the screen, and the screen takes up the entire face - but remain about the size of the last nano... for waht it's worth, the IP group rumors have been wrong more than they've been right

The Beatles!!!

Introducing the new ©APPLE ROCK.

Hands free operation means the Apple Rock (available in Granite, Marble, and Schist) is controlled simply by waving your hand over it to control volume and advance your playlist. The rock is not approved for outdoor use.

-new nano(s) $99 and $149

-new(ish) touch(s) $149 and $199 (thats right $149 to start)

-Classic still more expensive than what it is worth

-App Store sales helping offset the cost of the cheap touches

-One more thing... See you all next week, macbook touch (touchbook)

@Think

What does "let's rock" have to do with AC/DC?

I assume you are getting "let's rock" confused with AC/DC's "let there be rock".

Apple will announce that they will become a record label and announce acts to the new label. You heard it here first....

MDN Magic Word - entire as in I can be entire(ly) wrong.

Wow! And I thought the Republican Convention was exciting!!!

Oooh, just got a Twin Peaks flashback...

@TowerTone

Sarcasm? I have tried to watch and get into the RNC. I just can't too much drama, no real Republicans. I think that I, a life long Republican, am going to vote for Obama.

Sep 02, 08 - 02:47 pm Comment from: TowerTone

Yes, Bored, with a little helping of facetiousness.

BTW, HMCIV, when I first saw the headline, I thought it said 'Little Rock', as in the most populous state without an Apple Store would finally be getting one!

But, Noooooo......

Sep 02, 08 - 03:28 pm Comment from: KingMel

The current nano seems almost ideal to me. I am intrigued by the idea of approximately maintaining the 4G nano form factor, but maximizing the screen dimensions with a multi-touch interface (iPod touch nano?). I don't want to take the multi-touch theme too far - I'd still like a physical control for volume, for instance.

It would probably need to be a bit thicker than the current nano to accommodate additional battery capacity to support a bigger display. It would be very nice to have GPS, as well, but that may be asking too much.

Hmmmm....I wonder why the progress bar on the invite?

iAm dreamming Apple will also cut the price of the touch which is far to high as compared to the iPhone. iBelive i might by an iPod touch, if they update it, add memory, and reduce the price. iHope so.

yes, there will be something special happening with the band acdc. So get ready! LET'S ROCK!

"why the progress bar on the invite?"

Because the actual release date is October or November?

@Columbidae,

Have the re-mastered Beatles finally arrived?

That picture does remind me of promotional shots circa 1964/1965 that had the Beatles jumping. However, the figure is not wearing Beatle boots.

Let's ROCK???

It obviously means Apple is launching the long rumored "Macbook Pro - Granite" to replace the aluminum line.

iPod touch Metallica Edition!!! I dreamt about it, so it must be true!
