shouldn't it work with Safari on Windows? or does Safari not even exist on Windows anymore ha?
weird graphic, hard to read the text. But yea... I'm feeling like this even might be bigger than normal.

I am ready. Sold my iPad 3 in September, bought a Nexus, realized Verizon didn't support the 4G/LTE (and there was not 3G) and returned it (nice device otherwise). So I'm looking for a Verizon LTE iPad mini 2 with retina.

Not that I really mind seeing as if I want to listen to music on the go I use my iPhone, but it is sad to see the iPod lines neglected. Used to be so iconic, but now taken over by the iPhone. Their peak imo was the iPod (5G) and the iPod Nano (1G). Beautiful designs, really classy. And the packaging for them was really nice.
I don't think there's much more they could do with the standard iPod. They still refreshed with some new colors this year and the Touch is still going strong. Ecce Homo.
They really have to change that menubar, it doesn't fit in with their new visual profile.

That said the current iPod Shuffle design is the best one. The first clip one was pretty much perfect and then (after the stupid non button one) they trimmed it down to a neat square. Don't see how you could improve it other than audio quality/file storage increases.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
So exciting. Credit card is ready to go. Come on iPad 5 and 15" rMBP with dedicated GPU.
I just bought one a month ago for basketball. I love it. I actually just use it in general now instead of wasting phone battery.
you guys think rMBP will be in Apple stores today?

All I want is official gamepads to be announced with a release date.
These three variants made by Apple. Obviously the 1st one is for simple games and should be cheap, the second one is for complex, 3D games, and the 3rd one would be for playing it on your TV. The first two would also need to come in different sizes for iphone, ipad mini, and ipad.
Gamepads have been on android for a year or two, but no Android OEM has made an official pad (Moto, Samsung, Sony, etc). Furthermore all developers mainly focus on iOS, with more developers paying closer attention to android just recently. I feel like apple taking the initiative and the leadership here will do great things for mobile games and maybe we can get some more of our favorite franchises on our phones and ipads. Plus, I wanna play DQVIII and FFVI
with a gamepad and not touch only.

Eh, I would go for a white bar that stretches across the entire top, makes it look more like iOS 7, where the chrome is white and they just use text.
yay

I'm in the same boat, although I'm more likely to upgrade my laptop today rather than my iPad. A retina Mini is very tempting, but my three year old Macbook Air is ready to be replaced by a retina Pro. My girlfriend is just waiting for me to hand off my Air to her.
I'm not upgrading my air until I can get a retina screen in that form factor. With the IGZO displays Apple is using in the new iPads, it's an inevitability.
wish we can order today but I'm guessing Friday at the earliest.

Agreed that it is coming eventually. I think it has more to do with battery life than form factor at this point. They can get larger batteries in the rMBP to help power the display longer. The addition of the Haswell chip will help the Pro models too. Looking forward to what they have to offer.
you know the 15 inch rMBP has always had a dedicated GPU right? the 13 inch models are the only ones with integrated graphics

you'd be surprised. I got way more money for my iPad 2 from an eBay buyer than i was expecting, even after the new stuff was announced.
Apple sells refurbished 32GB minis for $350 or so, I'm selling mine and hope to get a little over $300.
apple stuff holds value very well.

I'm here for the possible iPad Mini 2, but secretly want an upgrade to the iPod touch. I'm ready to move on from my classic!

Interesting. I was hoping for a shift in price. Would love to see that happen. I have to imagine that most people were either buying Airs or rMBP at this point anyway.

I'm going with a retina mini from iPad 3.

Maybe it'll work.

Wait, on a PC you can't just watch the event from Apple's homepage? Dammit Apple.
EDIT:
That seems to be working for me, I'm getting test patterns it looks like. I'll try it out at noon.

Those three inches make a difference though

What's the over/under on the Mac Pro being surprisingly cheaper than anticipated?
I hope so. The pricing will be key in getting a 'mac in every home' or whatever. I have always wanted a Mac Pro, but dat pricing

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. There is a lot of technology stuffed into that cylinder.
What time is this in UK GMT time?

Is it wrong I want a 13" iPad? I feel like the 9.7 is just a bit of an odd size. I'd be happy with a mini and a 13" convertible tablet/pc. I see some people say just but a laptop at that size but for reading large pdf files a laptop is a clunky option since I can't detach the keyboard. Documents on the 9.7 are readable with retina but it gets rather shrunk down.
Doesn't look like we'll see it at this event but I hope one does come out next year.
