July 7th?

by Jay Savage Jun 28th 2005 at 1:30PM

Apple logoWell, this is all very interesting. I'm excited about the new color iPods and getting to play around with iTunes 4.9 with podcasting support. But now that they've been released more than a week earlier than expected, we have a new question on our hands: what is the big announcement Steve supposedly has scheduled for July 7th? Most of us assumed that the bash was going to be in honor of iTunes 4.9 and possibly the new iPods that showed up today. so what do we think is really going to happen on the 7th? Here are my top choices:
  • Nothing: the original claim came from Mac Bidouille, and something got lost in translation.
  • Steve climbs the Arc d'Triomphe and yells "ha, ha! Fooled you again, new media!"
  • New iPod Shuffles or iPod Minis.
  • Video capabilities for the new iPods and the iPod Photo.
  • The much ballyhooed, much maligned, long delayed iPod Phone.
What's your vote?

July 7th.. hmm.. what could Steve be up to? Me thinks he's going to go on Oprah, jump up and down on her couch and proclaim his love for Tom Cruise! Then, Oprah is going to announce the Hermes special edition IPod.. It will be the colors of the French Flag, wont accept files after 6:45pm and CERTAINLY wont upload any HIP HOP! The show will end with OPRAH GIVING everyone in the audience a brand new Motorola Ipod Phone complete with WIFI, XM and Sirius Satellite radio tuning as well as GPS, Bluetooth and Black and White video capability.

Nothing, as I recall, what they said MacBidouille said, was that the media had to get ready for new products announcement, this doesn't necessarily mean a keynote, could be just a press release. It'd be waaay too surrealistic to get that many Apple brand-new products in less than two weeks, right?

Numbers and an updated iWork along with Mac 10.4.2 and the dashboard enhancements.

I think it will be the iTunes Phone, but I hope it will be 10.4.2 being released (via Download and on shelves)

I'm obsessed with the soon-to-be released iControl from m-audio. I would not be surprised if Apple debuted a breakout-box (Asteroid?) to go with it.

@Brian (#2), On the Apple site, it's just "iPod," see here: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70307/wo/Ud5XqRT9M3nC2VpkZL9GLBvAdV8/0.0.11.1.0.6.23.1.5.1.0.0.0.1.0
