Taking it too far: Odds on Apple's upcoming announcement

"If more than one product/upgrade/offering from our list are announced on the Oct.12th, 2005 press conference, all wagers will have NO ACTION." In effect, the proposition is "ONLY announcement X will be made", not "announcement X will be made". This reduces the value of the bets, naturally. Furthermore, since many of the outcomes are correlated (iTunes video store is likely to come out with video over Airport Express), the probability of multiple announcements is increased.

Considering that tomorrow's announcement comes the day after Apple announces its earnings, what if they're going to unveil an acquisition? The "One more thing..." might be a buyout of say (for example) TiVo or some other media company - a video iPod (if they ever build one) would require content. And what better content than what people record onto their TiVo (or other PVR) at home. What companies would be good candidates for takeover for Apple?

something is going to happen with the music store because they havent updated it yet. last time it wasnt updated on tuesday was when itunes 5 came out so something is going to happen

I would. It's going to be an iTunes Video store... without a doubt. Someone is going to make a wad of cash on this. What I can't fathom is that OSX for the PC has odds at 9/1... what the hell? Dream on!

The 'One more thing' is going to be replacement NANO's to all who put it in their jean pocket and got scratched.
