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).

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.
