"One More Thing" is just an open apology for ROKR
TUAW has just received confirmation that Apple’s much-anticipated, invite-only “One More Thing” event is simply going to be an official apology for the ROKR phone. Apple wants to let the affected markets know that they tried their best to help the ROKR become all it could be, but alas: they couldn’t salvage the otherwise promising product from the throes of Motorola’s engineers.So unfortunately we won’t be seeing an iPod video, or an iTVS, or a PowerBook with a kitchen sink port... but at least we’ll be getting a warm, comforting apology from everyone’s favorite guy in a black turtleneck.

I don't think so because that would associate the phrase "One More Thing..." with something negative. I think they would have chosen another title for the event if it isn't something positive.

I've heard unconfirmed reports that the "One More Thing" event will actually be a public apology to die-hard mac zealots for the Mighty Mouse. Xenophobic mac-addicts were so terrified by the prospect of a multi-buttoned mouse that they lobbied Jobs in a continuous harassment campaign of abusive emails and unwanted pizza deliveries. Steve eventually submitted to their demands and so tomorrow will be announcing a new one buttoned mouse. The mighty mouse will be quietly put to rest.
It seems mac rumor sites were mis-directed by the "One More Thing" invitation's movie curtains, when they should have been concentrating on the word "One".

Oh, it's just going to be:
- Pink Madonna iPod
- nano socks
At least according to CARS.
Check my the link on my name for the whole thing.

An apology and possibly the introduction of an iPhone maybe? :D

I believed this for a whole 2 seconds. Come on guys! Apple would never do this, it would just be quietly discontinued! And did you not see that its filed under "humor"
:D

If it is just an apology for the ROKR, I will be sad.

Maybe it's because I just woke up, but I totally believed this at first. That's not very nice!

You made my heart skip a few beats. The disappointment was hard to contain. Panic followed.

LOL
I am still hoping for a video iPod, soon to be renamed the iPorn. I see many, many, people bringing these to work/school/church/grandma's and making extended trips to the rest room.

why in the world do you guys still use such an old outdated (non-balding) photo of Jobs? I find that funny, not funny ha-ha, but nonetheless funny.

Here's a hint for future reference: jokes are FUNNY. This, however hilarious it sounded in David's mind, is NOT FUNNY. It is at most mildly amusing.
So anyone who took it seriously could be forgiven for missing the fact it's not to be taken seriously. And David, just because you filed this under "Humor" doesn't make it funny.
Sorry man, but someone had to say something.
