Apple confirms Sept. 9 press event

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Aug 31st, 2009

At last Apple has begun distributing invitations to a press event scheduled for September 9th. The image on the invitation, which features a classic silhouette dancer, pretty much confirms our suspicion that this particular dog-and-pony show feature the iPod (now with cameras! ...maybe). Apple typically introduces new iPods in September.

This year's event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco on September 9th at 10:00 a.m Pacific time. Perhaps then we'll see that secret television ad. In any case, we think it's safe for the pro-tablet theorists sit this one out. Maybe next time, folks.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Happy 7th Birthday, iPod!

Gallery: iPods over the years



It's hard to believe that 7 years have passed since Steve took the stage and introduced our friend, the iPod. Over the past few years, the iPod has gone from new guy on the block to "funnest" guy on the block. While the basic design hasn't changed much (for the Classic model at least), the features definitely have. When the iPod launched in 2001, it was basically a FireWire-capable hard drive and MP3 player -- nothing more, nothing less.

The first iPod sold for $399 for a 5GB version (which was Mac-only). Apple later came out with a 10GB version of the same iPod for $499. Here's some fun facts about the first iPod via Mactracker:
  • Codename: Dulcimer
  • Dimensions: 4.02" H x 2.43" W x 0.78" D
  • Weight: 0.41 lbs.
  • iPod OS: version 1.0, upgradeable to 1.5
  • Introduced: October 2001
  • Terminated: April 2003
  • Hard Drive: 4200 RPM in capacities of 5/10/20 GB
To celebrate the iPod's birthday, we have created a gallery to show the many changes over the years. If you want to brush-up on your iPod trivia, check out Wikipedia's iPod page. If you have any happy (or unhappy) memories of the iPod, be sure to reminisce in the comments.

How many iPods do you own?

What did 'ya get?

by Jan Kabili (RSS feed) on Dec 25th, 2005

Go ahead and make us drool. Tell us all about the Mac goodies you got for Christmas. Was it an iPod video, an iBook, speakers for your iPod, or a new case to carry it all around in? How much do you love it? Is it what you wanted or were you disappointed?

At our house we're loving our new Logitech mm50 portable iPod speakers. They sound great, have a rechargeable battery, come with a remote control and a case, and work with our iPod nano and iPod video (as well as other models). We haven't found any downsides yet. What about your Christmas booty?
