RUMOR: Apple to hold special event during last week of February
Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 06:35 PM EST

"TUAW has received a tip that the company that does television for Apple's live events and Macworld is apparently hiring for an unannounced Apple event at the end of February," Mike Schramm reports for TUAW.

Schramm asks, "Considering that we've got our ultraportable already, and our HD Apple TV, what big news are we possibly hoping to hear in 'the end of February?'"

If it won´t raise the Apple stock $95 in the next 2-3 months then forget it.

Heck, all us Apple fans have lost so much money on Apple stock in the last month or so we can´t afford to buy any Apple products.

"Heck, all us Apple fans have lost so much money on Apple stock in the last month or so we can´t afford to buy any Apple products."

really? you must not understand the whole "buy low sell high" thing....

this is the time to buy, not when it was $200, and in 6-9 months it will be back up there....

...and about xmas it will be time to sell again.

Feb 07, 08 - 07:11 pm Comment from: MacButters

Steve Ballmer finally admits that Microsoft sucks and resign from the company. Then he will be hired by Steve Jobs as the salesman at Apple.

Feb 07, 08 - 07:13 pm Comment from: Uh Oh

There are going to announce a reverse stock split 1 for 4 to bring the stock back to 200 again.

Feb 07, 08 - 07:18 pm Comment from: iPhone lover

10.5.2 finally get released on that day! smile

Feb 07, 08 - 07:20 pm Comment from: ken1w

It will be the iPhone and/or iPod touch with a larger screen, along with release of the SDK so developers can write apps for the new mobile computing platform.

Feb 07, 08 - 07:24 pm Comment from: OZZ

Dates for iPhone releases in other European countries?????

Italy, for instance?????

C'mon!!!!!!!

Apple TV (HD) is one thing . . . but where is the whole monty? Even beleaguered Dull makes a huge widescreen TV (doesn't it?), so where is Apple's? More TV's will be sold this year than any other in history (as we all upgrade to digital), so isn't a 42" from Apple the logical product release?

Feb 07, 08 - 07:24 pm Comment from: The Truth

I'm with Mac_Atty – OSX on generic PCs. Why?

At the start of the Macworld conference, before Steve Jobs' keynote, they showed a Mac & PC commercial where Mac asks PC at the end of the clip what he'll be doing in the next year?
PC says everything that Mac's been doing.

Now I realise that that could be Apples latest joke at M$'s expense, ridiculing their attempts to copy OSX (and failing miserably); or is it a subtle clue as to future plans to license OSX to the 'other' PC vendors?

Everyone agrees Vistas' a steaming pile of crap – wouldn't the timing be perfect for Apple to get all the other PC manufacturers to jump ship and pre-install the Mac OS on their boxes? (Even if it's only offered as an option?

Box-shi(f)ter: "Do you want your PC to come with Vista or OSX?"
AverageJoe : "Humm, let me think about that for a nano-second... OSX!"

Feb 07, 08 - 08:00 pm Comment from: GmanMac

@Barts

No-it wouldn't.

Just scan Dell, Compaq, Acer websites.

Can you imagine Jobs allowing his pride and joy to be licensed on those obnoxiously ugly hunks of plastic and cheap looking fuax metallic trim?

Feb 07, 08 - 08:10 pm Comment from: WuFu

I hope the MacBookPro 45nm Penryn will be released:D!!!

Im waiting to switch from windows to Mac OSX

Jim,

You only lose the money when you sell. If you sold you are an idiot windows user.

Feb 07, 08 - 09:08 pm Comment from: HotinPlaya

Steve was pretty nice towards Sony at MacWorld and the MBA intro.

maybe OSX on Sony computers, and Apple/Sony branded TV's with Atv built in?

Feb 07, 08 - 09:10 pm Comment from: emjoi via iPodDailyNews

Of course it's the SDK, and probably some Apps to go with it.

It's a whole new market... the return of the Newton, though of course it wont be called that. The Touch is already being called a Wifi Enabled Device... it is no longer marketed as merely an iPod.
A $500 iPod costs too much, but a $500 PDA? That doesn't sound quite as silly.

I'm really looking forward to this.

"Heck, all us Apple fans have lost so much money on Apple stock in the last month or so we can´t afford to buy any Apple products."

Speak for yourself. Some of us have been holding our AAPL since 2001. Besides you don't LOSE the money until you sell the shares under what you bought them for.

New Macbook Pros and iPhone SDK!

Feb 07, 08 - 10:03 pm Comment from: Cubert

Hopefully updated displays with built-in iSight cameras.





And.........um.........the return of the Cube.

"A new Mac powered entirely by corn. Al Gore on stage."

Or, how about a new Mac powered entirely by hemp. Woody Harrelson on stage.

Apple to employ Bill Gates as Tea Boy!

(Don't forget the biscuits Bill!)

Aperture 2.0, goddammit! Sheesh!

Feb 07, 08 - 10:47 pm Comment from: TheConfuzed1

iPhone SDK is the most logical answer.

Why would that need a press release though? ...For the additional hardware that will be announced at the same time. wink

Honestly, I don't care much about a tablet. If anyone were to change my mind though, I'm sure it would be Apple.

I'm hoping for a new Mac Book Pro update. I'd like to see Penryn, multi-touch, and a holosuite. wink

Feb 07, 08 - 10:48 pm Comment from: TheConfuzed1

By the way, I made an adjustment in my 401k today... More AAPL. smile

Apple has found a way to turn FUD into power pellets (they look like rabbit turds) and they will run the AIR Book. Apple will name the main supplier of FUD as Microsoft.

Feb 07, 08 - 11:46 pm Comment from: Homie

With all the fixes pending in the 10.5.2 update, Apple has decided to release it as 10.6.0 instead.

Feb 07, 08 - 11:49 pm Comment from: Homie

Apple will be announcing a $200 price cut on the 16Gb iPhone and drop the 8Gb one. And when everyone comes complaining this time, they'll say we shoulda seen it coming.
