Beyond the rumors sites. Way beyond

I wonder if it will be significantly LONGER keynote than before... hence the move to Monday... it could interfere with the schedule of everything else to be on Tuesday. According to IDG they did move the keynote because of its "impact".

Note that this year, the keynote is scheduled to be from 9 AM - 11 AM. Previous years, where the keynotes all fell on Tuesday, the keynote was always scheduled to be from 9 AM - 10 AM. The keynote is twice as long this year. In addition, Steve Jobs' regular keynote is usually 30 minutes longer than the set 1 hour time, so you can count on at least a 2.5 hour keynote.

I believe this this is the official OS X Macworld. We will find all those great products we are missing come out for os X. I'm sure we'll see new hardware to but i believe this to be the begining of the end of classic.

The funny thing is: We all know that on 8th, we will meet here and bitch about Apple how they could do such a hype! It was the same with the last keynotes and with the iPod. The expectations are high, everybody thinks that all the dreams he has will be released.

I *guess* that Apple releases a completely new system architecture: New cpus (maybe G5), new RAM (RamBus or DDR), new external BUS (GigaWire/USB 2), new cordless stuff (bluetooth keyboards and speakers) etc. etc. Note, this is speculation, but maybe Apple only wants to celebrate that they again are back on the olymp of the hardware world.

Still, I am sure they are extending their digital hub thing...it won't be called iWalk, but damn, an Apple PDA could be so cool, and if you take a look at PocketPC 2002, stuff like a dock could really be realised on a PDA, and on a PDA, a OS X style dock would rule big time!

We all don't know...that's why it is so much fun to guess

Spymac is the worst bullshit rumor page of them all! It is all filled with fantasy! iWalk...duh....they said that the iPod was going to be the iWalk. Remember that awefull manipulated pictures they had of the "iWalk"? If you look at the page spymac.com you will se that everything sounds very unrealistic. If you want good rumors, visit thinksecret.com or mosr.com, they guess right more often!

Btw, would it be smart to wait to after the expo to see if it comes a iPod revision to buy it?

There definitely will be new software for the iPod to display text files, contacts and a calender.

A revision to the thing itself? I don't think so. They are selling too good.

this is what one guy said on the macrumors site discusion:

"I just went to my local Apple dealer in Amsterdam. Checking up the price for an iBook, he suddenly went silent and then said "strange, Apple is listing somethings called PowerPod, not yet available". I saw the listing myself. Wanting to put an order on one immediately, we tried to do that. However, the listing seems to have been an error as the product wasn't able to be ordered. The seller reloaded the listing, and the PowerPod on the list was gone. Apple is messing with us!

This all makes sense: We've got the iBook and the iMac, the PowerBook and the PowerMac. We've got the iPod.... and soon we will have the PowerPod!!

My guess is that the PowerPod will be the ultimate handheld!"



I don't know, might be pretty cool ey? Makes some sense anyway.
