Apple Event 09-09-09

[sneeks]

What are we all expecting other than a refresh of the iPod range? A new and more social linked iTunes? I'd like for them to introduce a iTunes subscription system to rival Spotify but that's probably unlikely.

 

[sneeks]

Endgadget are reporting that Apple have reduced the price already on the current iPod range today.

Usually have to work late on such days to get all the new products on our website but... I'm going home and not caring this time :/

possible leaked image of the NANO 5G

If they are real, I prefer my 4G. Looks far sleeker than that.

 

[Millsy]

they look like cheap chinese knock-offs tbqfh!

Proper Apple press release images wouldn't be pixelated like that.

Beatles on iTunes and a special Ed Beatles iPod. Similar to the U2 one.

The Apple Store is, as expected, now down.

Like this?

Unlikely, that was last october.

 

[Tom]

Someone owes me 20p

 

[sneeks]

iTunes 9 and 3.1 installed without any problems, Apple must have the download servers sorted out for today.

Nice shiny new Shuffle and Nano with camera. Will definitely be visiting the Apple store when I go to DC next month.

Anyone going to bother upgrading the snow leopard? Doesn't seem much point in me paying the £25 all I would get it 2x faster starting up and shutting down haha. Waste of time.

 

[sneeks]

Yeah I'm running SL and it's OK, not hugely different but does run quicker so far.

 

[BenWall]

I find SL awesome, new expose is mint.

I can definitely see there being some sort of tablet running OSX in the near future with all the changed made in SL.

 

[sneeks]

It was definitely worthwhile upgrading to SL.

 

[Jaws]

What's so much better? I don't really have any speed issues with my macbook. I've only got the 2ghz macbook with 2gig of ram too.

I was the same. No not much difference but its nice to have. Alot faster and alot of the menus have changed. Stacks are different, expose is better and it turns off/on faster.
In the words of apple, the worlds most advanced operating system - finely tuned.

Anyone had problems downloading the Keynote? I've tried for the past few days, but it still doesn't work!
