BREAKING NEWS: Apple Event Confirmed for September 5th

I don't care about the camera, I really don't want an overly-complicated iPod.

True, and really thinking about it I hardly use the camera on my phone and it is much higher quality than the iphone camera so it would be pretty useless for me as well. I do hope that third party apps would make their way onto a ipod with wifi, like we see on the iphone. Meebo on a wifi ipod would be insane.

WTF!? News post on AS?

I think that new iPods should be just like an iPhone - maybe little thiner, and without clickwheel...

And I actually agree whit "BapeStar" - it's a little too early...and about Beatles...well who knows - Special edition maybe (in Gold :))

As much as I swore I would never buy another ipod, if the widescreen, iphone without the phone ipod comes out that everyone is calling for I may just have to get one. Damn you apple.
That's what I've been saying ever since the unveiling of the iPhone. It would be a revolutionary step in MP3 players.

It wouldn't really be a MP3 player, though. It would be a portable device that happened to feature MP3 playback. Since the 4G, the iPod has been moving away from exclusive music playback.

Hey Unbe, nice to see ya around again :)

There's a lot of hype on the Podcasts I listen to, sounds like tomorrow is going to be an important one for Apple and it's consumers.

All i want is wi-fi on them, in a way like a psp with a harddrive, and no UMD player. This would allow you to download you music directly to your ipod, that would save time.

Job's has always made it very clear that the iPod was a music first device.

anything that interferes with that wont make it into an iPod's design. Do you find the 5th gen ipod any different to use than a first gen?

it works in the exact same fashion, despite having videos, photos, games, calendars etc etc... its just a thinner, sexier, more vibrant design. that is all.

Music is on the top of the main menu, and will always be the most thought out feature.

EDIT- It's now september 5th in Australia... I guess you'll soon find out if I'm right or not.

They won't update the Australian site until the products have launched on Sept. 5th PDT.

I'm not an idiot. Your original comment implied that, as it was Sept. 5th in Australia, the products would be released there first.

And there are 15 hours, 34 minutes left, or thereabouts.

lol sorry. no offense intended.

I didnt think the products would be released in Australia first... Just Its september 5th in Australia, and was wondering what date/time it was over there.

#471109

Wow... Levi, it's Sep. 15 here already too... :)

Offcourse they don't update regional site's before US websites, but Indian site get's updated somewhere between 2-5 months after US site. :D

Sidenote: I loved how everyone made a big deal when the main Apple site got updated with a new look, but when the rest of the world followed suit (it was right after the previous Apple event with the new iMacs), nobody said anything.

Levi: It's fine :)

I was outraged (somewhat, not really) that it took Apple so long to update thier website, like 3months after the US... The new imacs showed up on the AU site a day late, it had me worried :/

So when it came to Australia it was more relief... I'd already seen the wonders of the US site.

So today is the day...who actually went?
