New Apple Software Products?

[tktino]

Before I give the load of stuff that apple rep told me, I want to share something with you. "I Hate Apple"

Now, I was at the apple store today. I needed to get my powerbook fixed [again] :x . I had the chance to play with the G5 and all the other stuff their, then i ran in to this cute rep lady which i was trying to flirt with. It didn't go that well, Then i just asked her "what is apple previewing on 28" she told me that apple, will be bring a lot of their powerpc software to mac. Mostly Pro software so they can preplace PowerMac's next. So what i hear is Mac Mini will be the last thing to go to intel... Odd but she said that Mac mini's are still sellings like crazy. Now, I believe this is news...

last time i went to an apple store the workers didn't even know that a universal dock for the ipod existed.

i love apple products, but i don't even talk to the workers in those stores let alone believe anything they say.

I have to agree with you... When I went to apple store to look at Powerbooks, [before I started hating mac's] the lady told me that Powerbooks are the best their is... The best at crashing!!!

At any rate. I was told the same thing from my friend who works for apple. So, she is correct.

usually apple is so secretive about their plans. so i guess since this is at one of their HQs instead of a bigger venue and invites were sent out so last minute it really isn't a big event. it just seems so un-apple to tell store employees what's going on ahead of time.

Thought the universal binaries were gonna come out a few months later or was it March?.

Radish?

[chrisgeleven]

"fun, new products" does not mean updates to the pro software...although that could be an additional part of what is released on the 28th.

There is something else going on. Guarenteed.

Ok, Here is a funny story... When Apple cameout with intel, I thought they went intel 100% like PowerBook Intel, PowereMac Intel etc. Well as everyone know, it never happened but I did try to buy something that wasn't out yet. The apple sales person had told me I should get a MacBook Pro, I was like why!? like why should i, I hate you guys anything... Before i could as anything like that, she told me that Pro software is due for march. So you are right:). :)

[NeoXY]

It was mentioned in the Key Note by Steve and it's also On the Pro's website...the conversion to U.B is due in March, so I wouldn't really be suprised if Apple push that out..

Actually, now that the Pro software are out, I'm just waiting on Adobe to jump on the band wagon so I can get a MacBook Pro...:happy:

Exactly, the people working there don't know anything of Apple's future plans nor do they have acces to unreleased stuff.

They know things the second we know things. The only hints they get is like "hold all current iMac models and expect new shipments" for example.

If it is just going to be a bunch of software updates I am going to be highly depressed. It cant just be software updates though.

Not as much as you will be (Y)

It adds nothing to the conversation so it is appreciated.

I would love to see a real ipod/cellphone. Would be interesting to see what they would come up with.

I was odd ball that found iphone.org and then started digg it. Its odd because apple owned that domain in 1999 and 2006... I think they are trying to plan for next year many... To early to bring out a iPhone...

.org? That would make no sense whatsoever. Someone just falsified the WHOIS info.

[Clinteger]

No, go to iphone.org right now. It goes to the Apple homepage.

I just tested, and it turned out to provide some nice information.. if you can even call that information..

Someone just falsified the WHOIS info.

Falsifying WHOIS info is simple, but the domain is using Apple's nameservers. In order for Apple's nameservers to respond to the request, they'd obviously have to be set up for it by Apple. So...

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

So is it safe to say that here-say is actually considered Back Page News these days?

Sorry to be such a stickler, but I come to this section for concrete news... not to read second hand speculation from an Apple rep reported by an admitted Apple hater.

[doug_jnr]

so what happenend? where are the pro tools? where you lying? was the rep lying? YES.... as everyone with even the tiniest insight into apple knows..... REPS know jack all when it comes to future releases. My mum has a better idea than a apple sales rep.

OWNED!!

If you hate Apple so much then why are you persisting with them? Why not just cut your losses and buy something else?

:rofl:

Please go ask your "mum" what's next please. Very curious.

Please don't post immature comments. The Neowin community would appreciate it.

my point being Mr Texas, that its common knowledge that reps have nfi about what is coming out. This rep said pro tools for today and no mac mini. This made front page news (Tom Graham thought it fit to put it on the front page lol), when in fact both predictions were completely wrong.

My mum predicts iBook next to make the transition followed by Powermacs and Pro software at the same event.

Watch this space Texan!

You know tktino, for someone who constantly claims that he hates Apple, you sure do post a lot of Apple news on Neowin...
