6 has been rumoured for a while now.

Haven't heard about 8, 12 or 14 at all.

There are so many iPod speakers out now that 7 shouldn't count.

To add to the list


  • Storage capacity bump for the iPod mini (5GB, although I'm hoping for something more like 7 - 10GB)
  • Cheap headless Mac
  • Australian iTunes music store

15. Steve Jobs is abducted by aliens, probed, returned a shell of his former self, and from now on all apple consumer products come with a Pistol, Pro products (PowerMac, DVDSP, etc) come with a shotgun, and server products (XServe, RAID, XSan, etc) come with a Minigun and tactical nuclear warhead, for when the aliens come back. They will of course, all be finished in matching white/aluminium. The Nuke will be Bluetooth-ready, for controlling via your mac. (what better way to destroy half the planet, than by clicking the Aliens" under the Bluetooth Menu Extra..
 
In reference to number 1, I think there may be an announcement about an Apple-Motorola alliance to bring the iTMS and FairPlay audio to certain Motorola phones, but seriously doubt that Apple will make and sell their own Apple-branded mobile phone.
 
The phone network thing was a kind of "April 1" joke on a Spanish website.

The "iPhone", though nothing really special, has been demoed at CES recently.

I don't kow about the "Siruis iPod" though ... :confused:
 
Of course not. That's not been a rumour ever since Motorola ANNOUNCED (not rumoured or gossiped) they would add Apple's mobile version of iTunes to their phones in early 2005. I really don't get how people can turn news into rumours...
 
Ceroc,
The iPod Speakers will be Apple Branded, hence being on this list.
The cheap headless Mac is the headless iMac.
I will add the updated iPod Mini.

MDLarson,
I wass looking for a rumor site that had all of this info together and couldn't find one so I found this site and decided to make my own list.

Diablo,
My guess is that Apple will never make their own phone, but they will license out the technology.


All of my information was fould on these varous rumor sites...

Apple will not be making satellite coordinates available. Although the keynote WILL be available on our web site - it will NOT be available until sometime AFTER the keynote is over. They do NOT have a time determined, so it may not be immediately after the keynote is over.

Well, they've done that before, too. At least there is an upside: I won't be getting up at 4am. :eek:
 
Haven't read or heard this anywhere, but I know many mac users are dying to see a G5 laptop. Personally I just want to see some high-end 3D cards that speed up Maya like they have for PC. Plus it would be nice to see the Renderman plugin for Maya be released although I've been told that may not be for another 2 months :mad:
 
What's the chance that Tiger will debut at MWSF 2005?

iPod flash confirmed?

We found a new iPod, probably based on a 1 GB flash memory. Here in San Francisco we have seen people mounting the billboards inside Moscone Center. There were images of the new iPod and a slogan: "Life is random!". Plus the number of the song: 240. Will it be the next "iPod micro"?
