Then again, Christmas isn't so far away really and some new hi tech booty always goes down well with guys at Christmas. Video nanos to compete with the new Creative Zen Vs seems logical if not commercially essential.

But I think it's reasonable to expect that a venture into pure telephony rather than just putting iTunes in someone else's phone would warrant an entirely separate media frenzied event anyway.

This is a developer conference - that's the DC in WWDC. There had better be a lot of Leopard news and it better be of the "Thought Vista might be catching up? Think again!" nature.

It's not that I want bragging rights for my OS - I just want a reason to shell out $149 10.5.

Q. What have been the roadblocks with an Apple movie store?

A. We’ll win both; consistent price per movie, burning to DVD. Other internal factors include bandwidth and the evolution of Airport. This is all bigger than the iPod.]]>Aug 4th 2006 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/Aug 4th 2006 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/Aug 4th 2006 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/
What about MBP/MB updates? Surely at the least the MBP will get Merom by September. We should get a roadmap for Core 2 Duo as well, in which case the future of the iMac will be determined (Conroe or Merom).

Every says that they won't announce consumer products, but with Apple using Intel chips now the pressure to compete is on. They have to keep up with the trends and get the processors out first. And with the Zune coming out eventually (maybe with Vista :-P) they need to get an iPod update soon too.

There is the Paris expo though...]]>Aug 4th 2006 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/Aug 4th 2006 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/
And everyyear the consesus is that WWDC or MacWorld was a bust. Then sure enough the next year history repeats itself and I am let down all over again.

Steve, just release the phone, pda and tablet already will ya? Stop thinking like a bussiness and consider what the consumers want.

This is assuming it's not an intentional leak.

Companies do this all the time. I'm sure Apple does as well. A lot of the time, the leakers provide about 90% correct information and 10% incorrect... then they leave out completely the bits that are really important. So what you end up with is a leak that looks really credible, that the article author/interviewer wholeheartedly believes and supports, but that still leaves a lot of room for surprises. At the same time, it's just inaccurate enough that next time around, there are still those who insist it wasn't an insider.

This is a way for companies to control the spread of rumors, basically by introducing their own. With Apple being as tight-assed on rumors as they are, it would surprise me if they *didn't* have plants all over the place. Some of them are probably even spreading more accurate info than others.

I can't believe people think they were going to actually introduce consumer hardware (iPhone, new MacBooks) to DEVELOPERS!!!

Apple TV? iPhone? that's all just silly speculation that SEEMS fun, but really are pretty stupid ideas. I still love all the off-the-wall rumors, but this one (though i doubt it's actually a leak: or maybe just a leak from an Apple Janitor,) sums up what i'm hoping for.

More than anything i'm just interested in 10.5, and hoping we get a few surprises along the way (Apple LCD's with a built in iSight are overdue, though i wonder how they'll connect.)]]>Aug 4th 2006 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/

well you know... it's a developers conference, not some iPod users gathering.

Anybody expecting anything more than leopard preview and high end Mac introduction is just hyping themselves up for a gigantic disappointment.]]>Aug 4th 2006 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/

If this was indeed an intentional leak, then you can expect a couple more surprises I'd say. But don't get your hopes up for some miracle products. Maybe just some nice improvements or updates to make your life easier. Seems that's the Apple philosophy anyway.

This show is supposed to be all about Leotard, no? I'm more interested in the new Mac vs. Windows battle as both OS's will hopefully debut around the same time. Seems so long since we've had a nice head to head comparison of products that you could argue are nearly on the same technology level.]]>Aug 4th 2006 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/anonymous-apple-employee-supposedly-speaks-about-wwdc/
