Apple Event on September 12th


Recommended Posts

Okay so here is the deal with the original 5G iPod with the new firmware:

-Gapless works. (I think the tracks have to be marked Gapless in iTunes though)

-Quick Scroll present.

-Brightness setting present.

However, spotlight type search is NOT present, just like I said/thought.

This doesn't seem to have been posted already which is weird but here it goes. Check out the Apple store. New ipod nanos made out of the alluminum alloys that the ipod minis were made out of with the same colours, new ipod 30 gig/ 80 gig and a brand new shuffle design.

Apple.ca <-- check it out!

Does the 30gb version get 640x480 too or that just the 80gb?

I know the battery life is the same on the 30gb.

Also what about those games, just for 80gb?

I read many places and it doesn't make it too clear :(

so what 1.2v firmware for the nano's include? i noticed about 2 weeks ago when i sent in my womans nano to get fixed from apple that it had v1.2 on it and never noticed anything.

Probably just bugfixes.

Guys, check out the badass new iPod nano commercial: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/ads/

its still pretty cool. would love to see spotlight type search sometime in the future however.

none of my tracks are marked gapless, yet they still play gapless now

also i noticed a batter indicator i present when watching vidoes now

Edited by dinner123

does anyone know if i have a 5g ipod video if i can get that freaking gapless play onto it or would i have to buy a whole new gaddamned ipooooooooooooooooooooooooood

it works if you update to the new firmware 1.2. its really good as well, no more gaps :D

Yeah, iTunes 7 is ugly as sin on PC. Why did they change it?

It's probably Apple's way of teasing Windows users. They're like "HA! You got a small taste of Aqua but we've taken it away!! SUFFER! Get a Mac if you wanna see it again."

lol

<~ dork

I'm sorry, I didn't read the last 30 pages :

What generation is the new iPod? Five or six?

BTW, I feel sorry for my friend. He bought a Nano yesterday. Not "like" yesterday, but he purchased an iPod Nano yesterday. As in the 11th of September 2006. Ha!

I'm buying a Nano to replace my aging Mini 2G 6GB.

Also, do the iGames work on the iPod video that has been out for like six months?

^No Its like this on OS X too. Dunno why they got of Aqua, I was kinda saddened but It still looks pretty nice IMO.

i think it's a sign of what's coming for 10.5

edit: and i really like the way it looks, now if they could make the WHOLE OS look like that it would be good :)

I personally don't like the idea of having an MP3 player that's no bigger than a Canadian loonie (New Shuffle)! But then again, I do like the new iPod Nano and I placed an order for the new 2 GB a few hours ago. $169 CDN + tax is not bad at all for that (previous 2 GB was $250 plus tax last year).

Maybe I'll write a review and post it on Neowin when I get it! ;)

I dunno, I love aqua a lot, and this does not look like aqua, lol. If they could merge the 2 styles that would be awesome, kinda like plastic used in Mail.

I feel the same way about the design. Way too bland for my taste. =/ All greys now. I miss the nice and bright aqua colors. It just seems more rigid and..PC-esque now when I look at it. I know I'll get used to it later on but I can't help but notice it now.

If they design Leopard like iTunes 7 it will look like a bad microsoft design. :laugh: They should have keep the Aqua and redesign it a little.

The design is the only bad thing in iTunes everything else is awesome.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
