Didn't they just announce the Zune 2? They could be just trying to get rid of old stock, not necessarily in reaction to this iPod announcement today. Not like new iPods will be in the store tomorrow anyway.

They haven't announced it, as far as I know. There was some picture leakage. But it didn't look like the "new" Zune was touchscreen... so it'll be stillborn. And yes the new iPods *will* likely be in stores tomorrow.

 

[cjdunn]

My point was about the timing.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Aw, it's a bit sad.

In fifty minutes

* Jobs walks on stage *

* clears throat *

"What the hell, it's all pointless now... I guess everybody's seen the news."

"Boom! They got us good."

* breaks down in tears *

* runs down from stage and out of Moscone West *

* Engadget and Gizmodo editors set themselves in fire as protest to Zune *

How do you know? Oftentimes they are.

 

[cjdunn]

Apple Store is down.

LOL yes, that Zune price drop and Zune 2's slightly slimmer form factor will have Jobs and his iPod devotees running for the hills in terror!

That settles it, new iPods in stores today!

 

[Hooker]

Is there going to be a live-video of the conference?




EDIT: Hmm, after reading more replies in this thread I'm going to say 'no'

 

[cjdunn]

Nope. See previous posts about liveblogs.

I was thinking it would be like the iPhone with a big gap between the announcement and the in-store date. Would be nice to get something to replace my 30GB.

Special Event: Apple announces Zune will be compatible with iTunes and the iTMS.

The iPhone and Apple TV are actually the exception to the usual way of things with Apple. With iPhone they did it so the product didn't leak through FCC approval docs. But usually, when they announce something it's available for purchase nearly immediately. With the Target rumors I'd say it's very likely they're gonna be in-store by the end of the week.

If it's Phatpod, no buy.

If it's ipod touch, i'm setting up camp outside their midtown store.

 

[sorryaboutdresden]

I'm so glad my 12:45 class is a computer science one where I'll have internet access.

 

[Benjamin1981]

Come on Apple, bring it on. Touch iPod with Wifi and 120GB HDD. Sold my 80 GB yesterday for 250 €, i need a new toy, please deliver.

 

[Zombie James]

OH SNAPPLEexz,

BAM, that's exactly what I'm rooting for as well.

Typically how long do the keynotes run? About an hour right? I'm just trying to prepare for all the F5ing I'll be doing here in the office.

 

[Zombie James]

I'll probably be out of the office by the time everything goes down, should have plenty to read when I get back

 

[brandonh83]

I'm so glad I don't have class period until 3:30.

 

[Nick]

I'm going to be disappointed by this product.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I did not think GAF had so many iPod whores

this better be one hell of an iPod update, I never owned one myself but I gave one as a gift

I can't wait to see what this one looks like

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I'm so glad I don't have class period until 3:30.

I'm so glad I'm currently unemployed and have even enough time to...oh wait. :|

Then you can make the announcement to everyone in class and you'll get all the bitches for being the first to know!

"And then the Han dynas..."

*girls shriek*

I guess every store is down 8Germany too btw). The new nano I am not that interested in but iPod touch would so rule.

 

[Benjamin1981]

Screw you Apple if the new iPod only comes in black like the iPhone.

 

[joeposh]

How quick does the apple store usually ship? Is there any point in ordering an ipod off it if my sole objective is obtaining one ASAP (we don't have apple stores in SC).

 

[Keylime]

there.

Are you implying people pleasure themselves while wearing condoms?

Or that you are about to have sex with an inanimate object in celebration?

... man I'm nowhere near as hardcore as I thought I was.

 

[Fireblend]

Damn, my connection's barely able to take the insane amount of F5-ing I'm inflicting upon it. :lol

 

[Manics]

I'm working the boner real slow so that I climax right when I hear the announcement. Ohhhh....Jobs....ohhhh.....

 

[Tanukid]

Command+R for me. =)

Gah, I really hope they show something, I got a class at 2:00.

And it's my birthday.....

 

[Tobor]

10 more minutes. I can't wait. I have fresh money ready for either the new iPod or the iPhone, whichever looks better after the presser.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Looks like gizmodo has pretty good live photoblogging.
