Steve Jobs arrives in London: jeans, turtleneck and New Balance expected soon

Listen folks, if you had even a slight bit of concern that tomorrow's "Mum is no longer the word" announcement from Apple was going to be anything less than monumental, you can now put those fears to bed. Steve Jobs, AKA El-Jobso, AKA the Jobs-man, AKA Jobbers is in London as we speak, undoubtedly standing in front of a full length mirror and practicing saying, "Oh, one more thing," with a fake British accent. You have been warned: there will be at least one human being in England tomorrow wearing stonewashed jeans and your dad's turtleneck.

What is this news about?

[Argot Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:23PM]

It's about some cult leader arriving for a ritual involving some sort of fruit and possibly zombies.

Oh i'm a mac user btw.

[Javi0084 Posted Sep 17th 2007 5:34PM]

I wish there was a way to filter all this Apple "news". I'm not Apple hater or lover but this is just too much.

[Twitchy Posted Sep 17th 2007 6:10PM]

Is that Steve Jobs or Phil Collins?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 6:26PM]

Javi0084, there is a way to filter it out using tags, i'm just not familiar with how it's done because I never wanted to do it!

[GenBanks Posted Sep 17th 2007 6:27PM]

@Javi0084
Uhm... well there is, actually... http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/20/tired-of-iphone-and-or-apple-news-on-engadget/

what toilet did he take a dump in?

WHO CARES

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 8:27PM]

A gold one, with gold leaf toilet paper, and when he flushes his little apples are washed away in a river kitten tears.

[Chris Bell Posted Sep 17th 2007 8:35PM]

"what toilet did he take a dump in?

WHO CARES"

Then why did you ask?

[fontendet Posted Sep 17th 2007 9:09PM]

I think that he's not only presented iphone in Europe - he's officially and at last announce that Beatles is in iTunes Store!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 9:57PM]

"Then why did you ask?"

what does sarcasm mean? i forget...

[galfridus73 Posted Sep 17th 2007 10:04PM]

n3rdk1d: You need to look up the definition of sarcasm because your earlier comment... that just wasn't it. There was no irony or wit at play there.

Just saw that it is available on a shopping site in india :

[mikeypizano Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:15PM]

No iPhone for the UK ;)


Just kidding.

[LostNote Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:16PM]

That's a photoshopped picture, right?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 6:47PM]

Yes...in the original picture, Jobs was giving the finger.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:19PM]

lol @ Jobbers.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:53PM]

jobber is a robber...gotta love iProducts

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:19PM]

Job's announcement: "You are on the eve of destruction, make your time"

[artifex Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:20PM]

Aarun: the monotonous brightness and strong edges around the flag, and artifacts around the hand didn't make it obvious? :)

I say, old chaps, I believe there's one more thing...

[LostNote Posted Sep 17th 2007 8:11PM]

Haha I know it's Photoshop. I use the CS3 version of the software frequently. I was just in a stupid mood and felt like making a REALLY dumb comment. And now I feel particularly silly for it...Thanks for your understanding..LOL!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:24PM]

So...you're saying he arrived in London, nude? There's an announcement we didn't expect.

[KennyB123 Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:24PM]

No, Josh Topolsky, we had no slight bit of concern. You already posted that there would be an announcement tomorrow. Thanks for a meaningless blog post.

Can we have a Bill Gates tracker-blogger post where he is each day too? Good God.

[drew05 Posted Sep 17th 2007 5:04PM]

A Bill Gates tracker would be boring. We all know he sits in his evil mastermind cave on a volcanic island somewhere in the Pacific. He runs the world from there. Duh.

[Mufasa Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:24PM]

Guess this is the closest I've ever been to my god then. Odd sensation, really.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:26PM]

Fantastic!

I do hope you're going to treat us to minute-by-minute reports of His *every* move around London-land and start new articles to tell us about His clothing choices for the day!

What kind of shirt will He have? Will it be tight fitting? And don't forget the trousers - they're definitely worthy of an Engadget news report all on their own!

Oh, and what about his footware?! What will Stevie be wearing? Oooh! The excitement! The anticipation!

It's great to know that Engadget are here to break out fresh stories on every single aspect of His iHighness gracing the shores of Blightly-land. A bitlike a tech version of Heat Magazine, if you will.

'Doffs iCap and waits for the next *vital* update.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:30PM]

Good, I hope someone in the crowd asks him when they are going to fix the bad screens on the new iPod touch.

[SimonRichards Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:31PM]

There really is no excuse for this. Engadget, you disappoint me so.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:35PM]

I'm an Apple fanboy and even I think you guys are going overboard with this posting.

[dogtanian Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:36PM]

ah...ah, they're called 'trousers'...

[JeanMichel Decombe Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:36PM]

Boom, matey!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:36PM]

As long as he doesn't open with "It's Stevey B****" I think we'll be ok.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:38PM]

Come on Engadget, this is just getting ridiculous.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:38PM]

Right now Bill Gates is takiing whatever steps are necessary to comply with the ruling.

Is that enough for you?

:)

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:39PM]

I hear he was looking for Eight ball squash and muttering to himself. Still shell shocked from Noah Wyl... I mean Steve Jobs yelling "YOU STOLE FROM US"

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:41PM]

Please give us hourly Steve updates...come on engadget--this isn't gizmodo is it?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 6:22PM]

Work will be interesting tomorrow - I'm an o2 salesperson in Birmingham, and we've been told to expect a large delivery tomorrow afternoon, and most of us have been rota'd in an hour extra after closing time. I'm pretty certain it's what everyone else is thinking, as are a few of my colleagues.
Stay tuned I guess!

[duckhunt Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:46PM]

He's going to introduce the new Apple (Endgadet) "News" Generator!
Please mention "Q" from the bond movies, Steve.....

[SimonRichards Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:47PM]

Pants = underwear, so i should hope he does!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:47PM]

So this is "BREAKING NEWS" eh?

What was the point of TUAW once again?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:50PM]

Is this really news!!!

[calemon Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:50PM]

Man I think this is just funny! it's only a news entry... why is everyone getting all upset? Just enjoy his Steveness and prepare to bask in the glory of the live event tomorrow.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 7:21PM]

I think a reason for people to get upset would be the constant downward spiral this site is taking from its original premise.

There are many Apple "gadgets" being released at the moment, but I'm sure SOMEWHERE, there is another large or new company releasing OTHER gadgets that deserve equal attention.

I really hope this post was a big of a joke to get back at everyone ranting about the frequency of Apple posts. If not, god helps us all.

[kreg37 Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:51PM]

i've always felt the deluge of apple-related news on engadget was justified considering you'll find news about new apple products on non-tech news sites or your local tv news station... but this is ridiculous, especially considering that the announcement for the event was already posted today

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:52PM]

More great ***News*** err I mean commentary from engadget....Wow Jobs landed in London...Wonder where bill gates landed...oh yeah, engadget is just APPLE fanboys

[BillR Posted Sep 17th 2007 4:58PM]

* UPDATE TO THIS STORY *

Steve Jobbs just took a dump!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 5:05PM]

a sloppy apple core shaped dump, as he sits playing Doom on his Archos PMP

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 17th 2007 6:04PM]

Who ever said anything about this being 'breaking' news? :S
It's news about an Apple event, tomorrow, if any of you morons read the article.

[iPadKing of Tablets Posted Sep 17th 2007 6:21PM]

On France or England? That's important late-breaking news. Somebody should retrieve those turds. They might be worth a $100 credit.
