| Jan 24th predictions / 20th Anniversary. Hey everyone, What do you think Apple may release for their 20th anniversary? The Register seems to think a tablet. I don't agree. I believe and updated eMac and iMac (read new form factor). Perhaps also an anniversary iPod (i.e. perhaps colors, or a 60gb special edition). http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/39/34434.html What are your predictions?

| I predict that nothing will come on Jan 24, but on the 26th. I made it in in earlier post, so I'll stick with it. A drop in prices for the mini iPods and the announcement that the Beatles will finally be available via the iTMS.

| You think that will be all they will do for their anniversary? I would be surprised if that were it. I can definitely see the price drop, but not that soon, especially since the iPod mini is currently the best selling item in the on-line shop. 26th makes sense, it being a monday and all but I think the 23rd would be far more likely.

| Yes, I think it'll be mostly music-related. Especially with the Pepsi promotion just around the corner. What better way to promote the iPods and the mini-iPods and GarageBand. Maybe we'll see a bump in G5s, but I think the rest will be music-related.

| We already had the music stuff out of the way at the keynote ... I foresee a special edition iMac or something like that, perhaps, if the PM's get a boost, with a G5 ~ 1.6-1.8 GHz (underclocked 90nm?). They are bound to do something with the anniversary beside iPods etc. It's too soon for a pricedrop and I don't see the old iPods getting fancy colors. There are also rumours of a homepage makeover for Apple ...

| I will pray for a G5 powerbook.. Don't think this will happen, but hope dies last.

| Well on the front page of Macrumors (http://www.macrumors.com), they have an article posted stating that IBM has produced 65nm 'G5' processors for the upcoming XBox 2 from Microsoft. If this is the case, these processors will probably be the ones we would find in the G5 Powerbooks. IMHO.

| I believe Apple will not do much. Maybe some promotions. I agree, they will probably have some digital music celebration of some sort. |
