Sept. 12th Event 'Showtime'

Seeing as it has showtime and spotlights and th elike, it is obviously an Apple movie starring whats his face from Jeepers Creepers, Accepted, and mostimportantly, the mac ads where for the whole 90 minutes, it is a conversation between mac and pc.

Either that or iTMS movies (and if we're lucky, they'll give in and make it iTunes MEDIA store). Probably higher capacity iPods that MIGHT have bigger screens.

Anyone else noticed that "It's Showtime" is the phrase apple use to describe front row on the MacBook Pro page probably a coninsidence, but hey, worth a shout!!!

I think it would be quite disappointing if Apple just revealed iTunes movies. I mean, everyone's been talking about it for ages and so the novelty's worn off a little. I really hope that Apple delivers something that NO-ONE expected. That would be really exciting.

Poster Number 8 "G5 Powerbooks?", Rock on :-)

Well it is blantantly obvious that this is going to be the announcement of full-length movie downloads. However, Apple in the past has managed to throw curve balls with what they're doing.

So my predictions along side with the announcement of movie downloads in the iTMS is either: updated iPod lineup; with full length movies you're going to need more storage space. I sincerely doubt this will be the touch screen iPod we've all been waiting for.

Or perhaps an update to the Mac Mini lineup. The Mini is not a highend machine and has kind of made a name for itself as the Mac lovers HTPC. So I'd be willing to bet that if this were to happen hard drive sizes would increase in both models.

Or Apple could prove me wrong and just announce movie downloads call it a day and say "see you on the 25th."

Yup, movie downloads, fo sho.. better be some other stuff though, i'm getting all fidgety with the rumors of like 50 new things coming soon (iMac, Mac mini, movie store, phone, ipods, etc) ... I need some new gear!

Funny thing, but TIVO is releasing their Series 3 model on the same day or the next. Wonder if this is a coincidence...

Allright, this presentation is all about iTunes and movie downloads, clearly. So, no new Nano, no new MacBook Pros (Merom), no iPhone. We'll hear all about how great iTunes is and the movies are, and then we'll see the new 23" iMac and larger capacity iPods (apparently NOT the true video iPod yet?) on which to view these new downloads.
Nanos will be introduced on the 19th or later, after the free Nanos for students deal is over.
And, please, bring the iPhone in the next month or so...

Keith is right. We bring it upon ourselves. It's like when that cheerleader from high school smiles at you and you think "wow! she likes me for who I am on the inside!" and it turns out she just wants to borrow your notes for her boyfriend.

I think this hints to an new addition to iLife called Showtime for sorting and presention of the movies you buy from the iTunes store. Also they'll probably announce the availability of (some) video material in the international iTunes stores.
