Has anyone considered that apple might not be realeasing the wide screen super secret video ipod because it dosn't exist?

lets all think for a second...

1) touch screens are weak, soft, and matte, not iPod at all
2) they get printy and scratched very easily
3) they would go through oodles of batter power
4) Apple would not make the thing bigger just to hold the extra battery
5) battery life would STINK
6) touch screen starts to complicate the interface, goes against apple's easy as pie rule
7) the thing would have to cost a fortune

please dont kill me, but does anyone have proof, or is it just a dream of perfection?

p.s. does anyone know if they will webcast the event?


hmmm

1) No
2) No
3) No, see pda phones, which go for 2-3 days. iPod, with a harddisk, could go for 5+ hours.
4)Yep, right.
5) No, it would not.
6) No, touch screen has nothing to do with the UI
7) No again, touch screens are not too expensive. Just see the current touch screen devices on the market today

It is more than possible that Apple would release a touch screen device. Hmm, Apple once even had one =), called Newton.

So which Vista version would be the equivalent of XP Pro??:confused:

The reason the iPad's file size is so large (593MB) is because it has to install a camera on the top of the iPad, and if you go into the Settings> General> Bezel, you can now change it from Black to White (or vise versa) whenever you want.

This is an awesome update, hurry, download it.

P.S.
No onions.

Thanks for clearing that up. I had the Dremel in hand and was about ready to drill the hole for the camera - glad it's going to install it on top! That way I can revert to the previous version, right? Also, if I jailbreak my cheeseburger, will it get wifi like the fries, or is that just a myth?

Just wondering, does the aluminum material prevent them from manufacturing white models? I prefer white over all the available colours, and it'll prolly go better with my MacBook.

I was wondering the same thing. A white aluminium one with a white clickwheel would look good, I think. The silver's almost there, but if it was just all white that would be great. It's going to be strange to have a white iBook, white leads, white mouse, and then an all-black iPod.

A rough and ready Photoshop job of a white one:

I think it would look very smart indeed.

My MacBook was purchased in the first month. I did not have any random shutdown problems until the first SMC update.

Then I started getting random shut downs. All the %#(*&$#*($&^& time.

I took mine to Apple Store in MN, Southdale, and they fixed the heat sink within 90 minutes. No more random shutdowns.

The Genesis Bar dude went to console and looked for 2 items. They showed up. They took the MacBook. Fixed it and called me in 90 minutes.

My MacBook runs at 63c on a regular basis. I do have 2G ram and run 18 to 21 programs at once. I also have a cool pad beneath the kind with a fan beneath my MacBook that runs all the time.

Actually, here's a link (http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/provider/providerarticle.asp?Feed=OBR&Date=20060824&ID=5969723).

My wife said no too and this even includes my wish for one for my upcoming bday to get one.

Your wife said 'no'?

You know, this is a question that I've been wanting to ask for a long time, and this is not directed only at you, but to all responses similar to yours I've seen on such topics. It's an honest question I have, because it just blows my mind:

What the hell kind of relationship do you people have with your spouses?? I mean, seriously??! You need their explicit PERMISSION to buy something you want, with your money, and it gets to their point of people BEGGING their wives to let them buy something, only to be turned down?! How the hell do you get yourself into this kind of dynamic? The only plausible reason that a wife may be against it is if you guys are so short on cash, that $500 will break the account and drive you into poverty? And if this is the case, then you people should have a bit more responsibility than to beg your wives to let you buy something that you clearly can't afford. If you CAN afford it, and it is your $$, then why the hell do you even need to ask your wife in the 1st place, and what right does she have to refuse you? Do your wives make all the money? An iPad isn't a car or a house that needs to be a consensual and debated purchase. Your wife shouldn't have the ability (nor the desire) to stop you from buying one.

This is honestly something that Id like an answer to. Some of you seem to have a 'child/parent' relationship, instead of husband/wife. If she's the breadwinner of the house, and you mooch of her, fine I'd understand. But if you bring in the $$? Sounds like a disturbing and cold relationship. Why does she get to dominate you and dictate your decisions, void of any debate or discussion?

well, today looks like a no-go. it probably would have been announced by now, or the store would be offline... so, the wait until next Tuesday starts...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Interesting discussion.
It seems that many people pirate Adobe products because they want to learn the tools, but don't have a job to pay for it's high prices. Those who are anti-piracy seem to argue that if you have the tools and the know-how than you can easily make enough money to pay for the price.

Do those in the anti-piracy camp have major issues with someone who pirates Adobe products, but doesn't "profit" from them?....i.e doesn't make even enough money to cover the costs of the original products or even makes zero dollars?

Of course it is still illegal, but it seems like everyone's defense revolves around "if you make money off of a product than you should pay for it"..

I personally feel that pirating is wrong in ALL cases. However, I couldn't care less if someone pirated it, and profited in NO way.

Piracy aside, I do think it's interesting to see Adobe going this way, and I don't think it will pay off. At a time when Apple is enabling developers with it's App store to be able to charge less for apps, but earn more money with a higher volume of downloads. Not to mention the customer gets some amazing benefits by using the app store: integration with the os (think Launchpad), easy updates, multiple licenses across a users account, use of itunes account to make purchases, etc

Seems like Adobe is just BEGGING for developers to take away their business. It's already happening with pixelmator, aperature, etc doing 80% of what adobe does, but at fraction of the cost.

I give it one more year, and Adobe's products will be entirely replaceable by App store Apps that will be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. Developers will be making their money, the apps will be cheap enough that piracy won't be as big of an issue, and everyone will be happy (except Adobe....and those heavily invested into their software model, and business).

Lets hope they remaster them - the stereo effects on the original versions can be really painful on a pair of headphones.

I believe that they have been working on remastering the entire collection for a while now. That would produce a really nice iTunes addition.

Apple growing fast on a dying market. Great. :rolleyes:

They should better focus on releasing the iPhone 5 in June and not pospone it until fall....

Wow! It's really disturbing how many people are so quick to call this an unfair attack on Apple-- and how quickly the argument on this board gets labeled as "apologists" against "bashers".

What's next? The code was written at Apple, but by a contractor? The guy who wrote that code has only been with the company for a year? None of the other coders like the guy responsible for that one, so it doesn't count?

Look: I don't care who wrote what code-- if it makes my machine vulnerable then it's bad. It's not whether Apple wrote it, or whether or not they tested sufficiently (which is nuts because most stuff like this needs to be designed properly-- it's nearly impossible to test all the possible vectors)-- it's that my Mac isn't secure.

Or someone else's, as I don't have a Macbook, but you get the idea...

When Apple started advertising its security, we knew this would start to happen. If you tell someone they can't, they'll want to prove they can. The question isn't whether vulnerabilities turn up, because they certainly will, it's how Apple handles it from here. Are they upfront and quick to respond, or do they forward you to Symantec?

Can anyone quote the UK HE store prices or post a link to it please?
