Apple Event Set for Sept. 9th

[StevoJD]

Doubt they will update the Mac Mini until next year really. It's the low-end Mac, and Apple likes to enforce that. :p

[PyX]

Or they better cut its price in half, cuz frankly it isn't worth a lot judging by its specs.

There's a huge letdown on the Mac side of their enterprise... The imac update was good, but the rest... come on, nothing happens.

I'm risking life and limb here to tell you what iTunes 8 will include. Because I love Neowin so much, here is what iTunes 8 will do:

- Syncs with iPod nano 4G

- Syncs with iPod touch 2G

- Allows you to subscribe to the iTunes Unlimited music service

- Will download lyrics for all of your songs

- All your purchased music will be converted to iTunes Plus on first run (Does not include iTunes Unlimited content)

- Music Videos and Video Podcasts added to the LIBRARY section

- A new CATEGORIES section is added

- Washes your dishes with every iPhone sync

- Cleans your house with every iPod sync

- Takes the kids to school when you update your Podcasts

- Cures Cancer on first run

- Contains bug fixes for Global Warming

- Play music

My sources include Steve Jobs, so you don't have to question me. He told me all this while we were doing Yoga at Starbucks while Jon was designing the Mac Tablet in the background. Phil was busy knitting iPhone socks. He always gets stuck doing that :(

iTunes 8 would be pretty nice :D

- Will download lyrics for all of your songs

If it's like the CD cover service, I don't care :p

I mean, why do I need an iTunes account for that?!

[zape]

Please:

iPod Classic with 160GB or more with WiFi.

Better sound quality

That would have me sold :)

I never understood that one either. WMP11 automatically grabs album artwork for you without an account...

[Rudy]

I really hope there will be a new macbook pro

[MrFuji]

^Me too, although I somehow doubt it.

Sad thing is, if there won't be a MacBook Pro update at the upcoming event they probably won't come out in September as that would draw off iPod attention imho.

[MasterC]

I hope they release a larger capacity Touch at not too much of a price increase. (Y)

[Guest]

I'm hoping for iTunes 8. From what I've read, it's coming.

New iPod updates, and a new MacBook just before college/uni please :D

[Lexcyn]

I hope they have a date or some more information on the next iPhone update. That would rock. Background apps hopefully as well.

The iPhone 3G just got out, so don't expect any news/update soon. Probably a new firmware at best.

I hope for a Touch with more memory at the same price.

[Neil]

32GB or more Ipod Touch at a decent price.

[StevoJD]

Bring down the 8GB Touch to $200, I'll be sold. :)

[Lasker]

Bring down the 8GB Touch to $200, I'll be sold. :)

I agree, is ridiculous the price, mine cost too much. :no:

[WelshBluebird]

As much as I doubt it will happen, a 32GB touch for around ?200 please (the creative zen xfi 32GB is ?220 ish, so I don't see why apple can't do it too), and I'll be scrapping my pennies to get one.

I'd probably jump at a ?150 16GB one too.

[Apple-a-Day]

What would you suggest? A separate app for each of those functions? I don't think that would work somehow. And anyway, you only see the features you want to see. It's not like Apple is forcing you to load every single part of the application every single time.

how about drag and drop to the "device"

who needs itunes to load a player... others make due with out that fine

[PL_ Veteran]

Noooo, don't make the touch like a slim iPhone 3G, I hate the iPhone 3G's design :(

Crappy plastic, stupid curve...yeuch. The original felt much nicer.

[osirisX]

Compared to the original touch design, the iPhone 3G feels heaps better. The curve sits much more nicely in your hand.

[kalam_]

I've also heard that the source code for the new Itunes will contain Steve Jobs's DNA.

[se7en.hu]

exciting :D

Not prospecting an upgrade for myself yet though, no way till those i7's come out, thats the only time I see it as being a worthy upgrade :p

[Digitalx]

will be interesting... if ipod touch gets gps and different design i might just have to buy another one for lulz and comparison it would make it a good cheaper alternative to iphone 3g sif paying $900+ NZD for non contract thing just for gps and stuff :s
