Last predictions before Macworld

[BFG]

What with the little morsals of information we have recieved over the last weeks and months it seems now that we can be pretty certain that Apple is going to annonce today a new 'mini' iPod for less that 100$ or so...
Speculation about Jobs announcing speed bumped G5's and A G5 Server have been popular, but given some recent behaviour i think Apple will move away from talking about Speed bumped machines and move more and more towards talking about new sofware etc and the release of new products (when they produce them!)

Do people have any final speculations in the final few hours before jobs takes the stage?!

[Snipe at school]

I don't have any predictions, I just really really really hope that there are G5 speed bumps... thereby lowering prices on low-end models.

I'm sitting here during my free period, and I'm all excited about watching the streaming Expo, when I realized it's at 9 am PACIFIC TIME.

BLAH! That's 12 o'clock, Snipe, not 9. Noob.

[BFG]

lol snipe you and me both... Sat down at the computer at 9am this morning... then woke up properly and remembered that i was in the UK under GMT and not in San Francisco! ah well..

just a tit bit:

MacSoft today announced they will begin showing Unreal Tournament 2004 at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco. This will be the first Mac showing of the title and is among the first chances for the general gaming public--Mac or PC--to give the game a try.

And another one

Aspyr have announced that they will be porting "Call of Duty" to the mac...

[Mr.Mellow]

CALL OF DUTY? YAY! That game looks incredibly good. ugh. mm. Thank the lord.

[Supernatural Pie]

300 dollar mini ipods. New iLife. Xserve G5. iBook G4's.


Jobs... you fucked up big time, man.

You have precisely three weeks to show me some G5 speed bumps.

[BTs_GhostSniper]

lol.....I just can't believe I drove 30 miles home from work to watch the damn thing!


(I don't have speakers on this PC [Piece of Crap] at work).

[one lazy]

wtf, gay mini-ipods are 250 gay gay gay

[Mr. Paper]

I am so pissed.  Many people had speculated that they would try to capture the market of people that don't want to pay 300 dollars for an ipod.  So what do they do, they bring out a mini for 250! If I were you I would fork out the extra 50 dollars to shift from 1,000 songs to 3,700.  Jobs you did fuck up and this better not be the end of the ipod releases.  Does anyone know if he will do it tomorrow also, that is realease more ipod gear maybe another one with harddrive.  Why the hell did he discontinue the 10.  It was a perfect number.  Jobs Jobs Jobs u better come out with the 3Ghz G5.

G5 speed bumps by the end of January.

I expect mini-ipods to drop in price (under $200) by this time next year.

I can't wait to get my hands on GarageBand. That is the software application of the year! I seriously doubt anything better will come out until 2005.

[BFG]

Yeah Garageband looks awsome.. at first i was just thinking "cut down of Soundtrack" but this thing is seriously inpressive. the quality is damn high - especaially when you consider how much they are selling this thing for! its mad!

[Mr.Mellow]

I'm so excited about Garage Band. Ahh...so very very excited. I can't wait. $50. oh my god. I almost creamed my pants. I'm getting that as soon as it comes out...oh. What's that? It won't run on my old G4? Damn. I'm getting that as soon as I get a new computer. And the el cheapo keyboard, too. And and and. A new bass maybe. Well. No new bass, cuz I'm poor. damn.

[BFG]

lol mellow  you and me both you and me both.
Its a typical Apple does it again leaders in personal computing. Shit i think they are gonna shift so many more imacs this year with this little baby running. Think off all the wanna's and musicians who would love to be able to record their music.
Gotta get me ilife, a midibox with a pick up mic, and that cheapo keyboard let the good times sing!
