9:08AM PT - We're outside the center, journalists are milling about in preparation for the event! Everyone's roped in, kind of like a small pasture.
9:22AM - Apple Store is down. Shocking!
9:35AM - Hmm, Hurley from YouTube is here, wonder what new Rick Roll-enabling apps they'll be talking about today!
9:44AM - Okay, we're in and in our seats. 'Sunshine of your Love' is pounding out. Rock indeed.
9:51AM - Oooh, 'Gimme Shelter' -- suddenly the whole thing feels like a Scorcese picture.
9:53AM - Announcer: please turn off all cellphones and PDAs. The presentation will begin shortly. Sweet.
9:57AM - Ah nice, The Doors -- 'Touch Me' -- is it some kind of sign? We're not gonna say it's not, okay?
9:59AM - It should be noted that this Doors jam is playing considerably louder than the other tracks we've heard. Nice and subtle.
10:00AM - And the lights are coming down... here we go!
10:00AM - Steve is out!
10:01AM - Big cheers. "We've got some exciting stuff..." he cracked a joke about the obit. Ha!
10:02AM - "So let's get on with it. The topic this morning is music. Let's start with iTunes. It's the ubiquitous store and music player. It now offers 8.5 million songs. It's amazing. Over 125,000 podcasts, over 30,000 TV shows, 2600 movies... and we now offer over 3,000 apps for iPhone and touch."
10:02AM - "We've got over 65 million customers. It's enabled us to become the #1 music distributor in any format." Big applause for that one.
10:03AM - "So we're adding new content to iTunes. HD TV shows. You can buy them for $1.99 in SD, HD will be $2.99... and you can watch them on your computer."
10:04AM - "We're introducing iTunes 8 today."
10:04AM - "NBC is coming back to iTunes." Big cheers "The Office is coming back, Monk, Battlestar Galactica, 30 Rock... and they're coming back in HD." About time.
10:05AM - "HD TV shows, accessibility... voice over... new browsing in iTunes, and something called Genius." well what do you know? "Old browsing wasn't efficient, in iTunes 8 you can look by album cover, and this new bar at the top let's you look at anything graphically in little tiles."
10:06AM - "This also scales to movies, TV shows, podcasts, but it will be used most for music."
10:06AM - "We're intro'ing a new featuring called 'Genius' -- it allows you to make playlists from songs in your library that go together. It helps you rediscover music in your library. And it really works well."
10:07AM - "Let's say you're listening to a song, Bob Dylan, and you push the Genius button -- 25, 50, 75 or 100 songs. They're amazingly good. You can bring up the Genius sidebar which makes recommendations from the iTunes store." Ah, making that easier to sell eh?
10:08AM - "You've got your music library, you turn on Genius -- it sends information about your library to iTunes. We can learn about your musical tastes... but completely anonymously... but we're going to combine your info with other users, and as that happens Genius gets smarter and smarter." Tee hee!
10:09AM - "The results are tailored to your tastes and library. Automatically make playlists with just one click." Demo time!
10:10AM - "I've got albums, I can click to artists... let me go to Aretha Franklin... and you know, play songs." Aretha! Nice.
10:11AM - "I can see music by genre." He's scrolling through panels. "I can see by composer. It also works great for movies and TV shows." Ha, 'The Office' -- the phone gag. Priceless stuff.
10:12AM - "You get the idea." "Here we are watching HD on our iMac. Going back to music, I'm going to search for John Mayer..." Oh joy. "All I do is push the Genius button.. and boom, that's it... I can refresh, and here's songs that go with that song."
10:13AM - "Alright I'm going to buy music. Elvis... and uh, I'm gonna buy 'Heartbreak Hotel' now let me make a playlist -- and it's pulled together songs that go with that song." Ah, Buddy Holly... Roy Orbison... yeah, that's a no-brainer though, isn't it Steve?
10:14AM - "Some songs I'm missing, some songs by other artists." Little Richard. "We think you're really going to like the Genius feature." Big cheers! "That's available today as a free download."
10:15AM - "Now let's talk about the iPod. NPD data shows iPod with 73.4% marketshare. Number 2 is "other", number 3 is SanDisk, and number 4 is Microsoft, 2.6%." "There are over 5,000 accessories, they announce products before they want them to... it's funny." Ha! Big laughs for that one... nano anyone?
10:16AM - "Total sales since we started are over 160 million." "So with that, I'd like to tell you about some new products. Let's start with the classic. We've offered in two models, thin and thick, but we're discontinuing the thick one. We're upgrading to 120GB at $249."
10:17AM - "We went from 1,000 songs to 30,000 in your pocket. The iPod nano. You know we shipped the first nano in 2005, it's only been 3 years." Showing off the older generations now, boasting of the improvements. "But we have a new iPod nano for this holiday season."
10:17AM - It's just like the spy shots!
10:18AM - "Exactly the same display, but it's the thinnest iPod we've ever made. It's an oval shape, and it fits in with the line. The first and second gen, but exactly the same... he's pulling one out."
10:18AM - It's quite small, extremely thin! It almost vanishes when he turns it on its side. "You'll be blown away with how thin it is."
10:19AM - "Features? New curved aluminum design with curved glass -- and enhanced UI with new features. We've taken the accelerometer from the touch and iPhone and it does some great things, and you can use the Genius function on the iPod."
10:20AM - Songs are displayed in a touch / iPhone manner. "Turn it sideways and you're in Cover Flow -- you get full size album art -- again with photos, just turn the nano. Video is fantastic, and another cool thing is you push and hold the center button for a popup menu, you can use the Genius, you can browse."
10:20AM - "Calendar, stopwatch, voice recording when it detects a mic." Demo action... now.
10:21AM - "Let's go into music, artists... we'll pick Beck... 'Guess I'm doing fine' -- I just rotate it sideways and I'm in cover mode." This looks handsome, but not mindblowing.
10:23AM - "New feature... shake to shuffle!" huge cheers, you just shake it to change. Nice, very cute.
10:24AM - "I wanna show you photos... here's some photos, we can thumb through... tilt it for landscape, look at some photos. It just works really well. That's what I wanted to show you." Nice, a decent upgrade, but a lot we've seen.
10:24AM - 24 hours battery life for music, 4 hours for video.
10:25AM - "We want to be environmentally sensitive. We're constantly worrying about it. But the biggest thing is toxics -- we have an internal checklist, but the new iPods look great from this point of view. They're highly recyclable... we're really trying our best. We think these new nanos are the cleanest we've ever built."
10:26AM - "Now there's one thing I haven't talked about: colors." Wow, a whole rainbow of super bright colors. Bright blue, purple, orange, green, pink. These look pretty slick. "Entry price of $149 for 8GB, $199 for 16GB."
10:27AM - 8GB in stock in the next few days, the 16GB hopefully this weekend. "We've also got some great accessories... armband, some headphones as well... we have a pair we're introducing... these headphones have a pause / play and volume control, double click goes to next song, triple click goes to previous, right from the cable, and there's a microphone for voice recording."
10:28AM - "We've also got some new in-ear headphones. They ship with 3 earbuds, and they've got 2 drivers each, a woofer and tweeter -- they're going to sell for $79." Ooh, what a bargain... that's knocking the price up a bit.
10:29AM - They've got a new ad... and here we go. Funky music... very funky electroish beats. And flipping, melting / paint dripping nanos. Short, but cute.
10:30AM - "Let's move on to the iPod touch. We've brought our multitouch interface to the iPod. It's unlike anything in the market... for this holiday season we're making it better. Same display, but even thinner. Contoured stainless steel design... they're just fantastic."
10:31AM - "What's different? We've integrated volume controls into the side. Built-in speaker... which is hard for something this thin... for casual listening... Genius playlist creation... and the App Store built in."
10:32AM - "We've enhanced the UI, better artwork on albums. Of course it's still great to watch video. The UI is even nicer. We've also built in Nike+ to the touch." Wow, now that's kind of handy.
10:33AM - "The receiver is built in, you just need the transmitter for your shoe." Big cheers for that one. Now he's going on about Genius again... okay Steve we get it, we'll never have to think about music ever again. Steve clearly never made a mixtape for a girlfriend.
10:33AM - "And of course... the App Store. I'm pleased to announce that users have downloaded 100 million apps...." Yeah, 99 million were total crap.
10:34AM - "Today is only the 60th day the store has been open. Right on the iPod touch. There are about 700 games on the App Store, some of them are getting pretty fantastic." Ah yes, fantastic Sudoku!
10:36AM - "Let me show you some of this stuff." "I'm going into music, I'm gonna pick Green Day, 'American Idiot' -- tap the Genius button..." This looks real familiar. They are pushing this so hard. Hmm, Hendrix? Not exactly like Green Day, is it? And now U2, okay, that makes a bit of sense. Refresh brings up a whole new list. "It's pretty nice." "I can make playlists on the touch. Let me go to movies, let me remind you how great it is." Oh yeah, we'd forgotten how good that looks. Thanks.
10:37AM - A clip from 'Iron Man' -- "And I can go to the App Store and download games. We've got a treat today." He's inviting Phil Schiller on stage. Phil's going to demo some games it seems.
10:38AM - "This couldn't be more fun, hundreds of games. Here's some you haven't seen before. I'm going to start with a game that just shipped... Spore. The iPod touch version, 'Spore Origins'." Man they love Spore.
10:39AM - Now he's into the Creature Creator, Phil is making a new life form. Ths graphics do look pretty slick, but this isn't exactly new territory. "You can create your character any way you want..." Ah, so that's how it works.
10:41AM - "I'm controlling my character by tilting the iPod touch. Just got bitten there." A little laughter... the crowd seems content to watch Phil game. "It's kind of like life... and the graphics are just incredible. So that's Spore. Okay, on to 'Real Soccer 2009', just shipping today." Mmm, football.
10:42AM - This game looks pretty sharp -- we'd imagine from Fifa fans will go in for this. The graphics are impressive. They've overlaid a transparent D-pad on the screen -- but the game also uses gestures. Phil just scored... huge applause, we've got some sports fans here. Instant replay!
10:44AM - Ah, 'Need for Speed'. Looks like it uses some real car models. This looks fun, but we're still holding out hope for some more hardware... that might be wishful thinking, of course. Again, pretty impressive 3D graphics, it continues to be shocking what the touch / iPhone can do. Phil wiped out... crowd: "oooooooh!" He's on the run from the cops, good stuff. "Don't try this at home."
10:45AM - Okay, Steve is back!
10:45AM - iPod touch: 36 hours of music, 6 hours of video, environmentally sound design.
10:46AM - "This is the funnest iPod ever. We think people will really like. We've got it in 3 models." 8GB, $229, 16GB for $299, and a 32GB for $399. All three are available today. "Now we've got a new ad."
10:47AM - Touch with games played on it, lots of games. Ah we get it... look out Nintendo. That's basically an ad for a gaming device. They're going for the throat here.
10:47AM - "It's the best portable device for playing games..." gauntlet: THROWN.
10:48AM - We've just spied Howard Stringer in the front row... we think. Interesting.
10:48AM - Uh oh... 2.1 firmware for the iPhone!
10:49AM - "This is a big update, it fixes lots of bugs. Fewer dropped calls, big battery life improvements. No crashes with Apps. Backing up is faster." Nice.
10:49AM - "Some great new performance enhancements... free to all owners, available this Friday."
10:50AM - "Back to iTunes and iPod. We've got the best lineup we've ever had. We've sold over 160 million iPods. We're ready for this coming season. And we really appreciate the chance to share that." Round of applause please...
10:51AM - "We get excited when we can bring products to market that make enjoying music better..." Looks like a musical guest is about to step out. "He's sold over 60 million albums, he's the #1 selling male artist in iTunes history... Jack Johnson."
10:52AM - Hi Jack. Lay it on us. We better be righteously chilled out when this is over or we want our money back.
10:52AM - One thing about Jack Johnson, he doesn't mind being a corporate shill.
10:55AM - Hang back folks. We'll see what happens when Jack finishes.
10:56AM - Jack is truly rocking us to our very cores. Actually, it's ironic that for the 'Let's Rock' event they end with some soft acoustic folk stuff.
11:00AM - Big cheers from the crowd. A few journalists have been moved to tears. We think we spied Dan Lyons in the corner sobbing. Jack is thanking us and being quite modest. "I'm used to 20-something girls right here, I'm doing my best." Guffaw. "Apple has been really supportive... I wanted to say thank you."
11:03AM - "Thanks again." And it looks like we're done! Thanks for joining us!
11:04AM - Steve: "Thank you all for coming!"

Anyone think new MacBooks at this event? Or only iPods?
I'm guessing just iPods; they'd probably save any MacBook updates for other weeks of this month.
I wish there was, because I'm gonna buy one soon but I want to get the new design when it comes out.. So if they're announced then I'll get it tomorrow..
"Let's Rock", I would think iPods only.
richard, you lai
So, maybe a good time to get rid of my current macbook?
By the look of the poster it's iPod's only and by the look of the iPod the guy in the poster is holding the iPod nano spy pics are spot on, ow no!
macbooks maybe. but pro's i dout. what else can they do to the pro's? it has everything the macbook should had
Anyone think apple will come out with a new version of the macbook air?
dont forget new iTunes
If there are any new devices that meet the criteria for the Back to School promotion (which ends on the 15th), these new items won't be available until after the 15th.
Only iPods, I'm sure. "Let's Rock" doesn't really speak too much about computers. . .
On a side note, this is the first time that I really miss Ryan on Engadget. It's hard to now imagine a live-blogging of an event without seeing his name there.
Oh well, the world keeps moving.
Give me an iPod with BlueTooth, Steve Jobs. Otherwise, I really don't care what lame crap you are peddling.
I am so excited. I really hope that Apple can play catch up with the Voodoo Envy 133.
Wow, I really hope that they can play catch up with the Netbook market.
Apple does tend to lag behind a lot. It took them 10 years to come out with a phone. When they brought it out, it did not have current technology (3G ) nor some basic functionality. And when they went 3G, pplaying catch up, it has been an unmitigated disaster of poorly tested hardware and software.
Come on Apple, get it together; catch up by all means, but do it soon, please.
Steve Jobs get skinnier every time i see him!
I have to agree with Rohit Kapur, this Josh guy sounds like an absolute tard.
Can't you just report on the news without injecting your opinion onto every single topic that comes up?
"LIKE WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT BEFORE" "WOW THEY LOVE SPORE" "THIS MUSIC MAKES ME MOIST"
Of course, I'm paraphrasing, but seriously.
i think jobs' physique was the inspiration for the new nano.
This is the worst "journalism" I've ever seen on Engadget. Clearly the author isn't an Apple fan, which is fine, but the constant snide remarks are unfunny, unproductive, and frankly, childish.
Engadget: If you don't want to report these events like a serious publication, you shouldn't bother turning up.
I just found a contest where you can win a new 16 GB nano. Apparently it just started because I was the first one to enter. All you gotta do is think of a caption to a pretty funny photo. Check it out:
http://www.macblogz.com/2008/09/09/caption-contest-win-a-brand-new-16gb-ipod-nano-you-pick-the-color/
OMG I can't wait!!
Wait.
Wait.
I can't wait either. I hope mac mini refresh in some way, just put the x3100 in and let me have 4gb of ram.... DAMMIT
macmini is over... *O*V*E*R*... accept it and move on...
"9:53AM - Announcer: please turn off all cell phones and PDAs. The presentation will begin shortly. Sweet."
Sweet? What is sweet?
Yeah, the covering of this show won't be biased.
I think it is all ipods...
I really want them to up the apple tv HD though.... 160 is just so weak...
they should add support for external drives, and other media formats (like itunes has) Divx support would be great!
I would like to see one with a bigger HD, DRV capability, and a BlueRay drive.
there is a hack to make external drive support possible:
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gigantastic-potential/apple-tv-hack-allows-external-usb-storage-283532.php
New ipod nano, touch, and itunes 8. What else? Looking foward to the new touch if equipped with gps and camera.
I hear you. I would consider purchasing the Touch if it had;
- Bluetooth A2DP
- Camera
- GPS
- Uber battery
me two!
I hate monthly bills, and a simple cell would do fine for a phone.
but if they could basicly make an phone-less iphone with a super battery, id go for that. 64gb, plz
Same with me. The Touch is way too expensive right now compared with the iPhone. They have got to drop that price. Please, a 3 meg. camera at least, and a mic for voice recording!!!! Stunning battery performance isn't too much to ask either. Throw in Gear of War 2 and that will do it for me.
Sure it's expensive, if you ignore the contract.
... and divx/xvid and ogg support.
I'm not holding my breath.
Why would you want a camera and gps in an mp3? That's more the job of mobile phones, pda's and such?
How can Engadget post something tomorrow, but everyone can see it today?
it's magic.
WHAT ELSE have they been lying about ?!?!?!?! jk :)
magic.
Please, please, please let the 'one more thing' be the new Macbook Pro!
Steve doesn't do 'one more thing' anymore.
We could dream ya know.
I hope they don't refresh the MacBooks.... I'm ordering a MBP tomorrow AFTER the announcement and grabbing the educational discount, a free iPod touch (hopefully a new design), and - what the heck - a free printer, too! If they announce new MacBooks, I highly doubt that they will be out before the 15th (when the iPod deal ends). For that matter, that new iPod may not be available until after the 15th.... Oh well, guess I can't have EVERYTHING.
Apple has a very annoying habit of releasing updates about 60-90 days after I purchase a machine. I have a feeling we're going to see updates in oct/nov and feb/march/april - too late/early for back-to-school, and the holiday season. Might want to hold out (if you can).
The iPod touch rebate is only available on the current iPod touch models. Check the rebate and the model numbers. Its exactly the same program as last years and its "While Supplies Last"
All i want is the exact price cut for ipod touch, that will decide whether i buy a new one or refurbished one...
Does anyone know how long it will take the new iPods to hit the market after the official release? Any guesses?
that probably depends on whether or not your name is John Mayer.
I thought I remember someone saying that with these "photos" of the iPod nano 4G, that the availability would be tomorrow. But I would bet more a two week lead time.
They are available on apple.com immediately after the event.
This is so sad...
you really feel like this is a major accomplishment, dont you?
I am really hoping for an iTouch update, with GPS, Skype, and lower price points.
lol @ Retrokat911 how did engadget post on Sept 9 @ 9 am? They are obviously using the built in time machine in the new iPod Touch 2g. Good thing my wife just washed my ipod touch in the washing machine and I now have an excuse to buy a new one. (About two weeks ago my 11 month old son slobbered on my ipod and killed it, luckily not getting the water indicator wet. Apple replaced it within two days and I was extremely pleased, until the day after I picked my replacement up, when I got a phone call from my wife saying I was going to hate her for killing my best friend.) Atleast now I can travel back in time and hopefully save my iPod touch 1g.
Ben, engadget said in a previous post, "We're also hearing that current-gen iPod touches are being pulled from store shelves with instructions not to sell them, anyone else hear or see anything similar?" Hopefully this means tomorrow!
iPhone firmware 2.1 hopefully will have some cool hidden features.
(I hope anyway :\)
I'm thinkin' major price cuts to the touch and nano.
hell yeah GPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think apple will update mac mini...
Im pretty sure they are not going to have an iTouch update at an Apple event...considering an iTouch is from Pasen. But hey!, maybe they will turn over an iPod Touch update. Which is probably more useful. (and you own one?)
the posting in the future was just a time-zone thing as it always shows the current time in the location of the post or upload :p

.......and how is the Touch expensive compared to the iPhone? as with most you are forgetting to build in the needed month subs to the iPhone cost, it's not like you just buy it and thats it, whereas with the Touch, once paid for its paid for.
".......and how is the Touch expensive compared to the iPhone? as with most you are forgetting to build in the needed month subs to the iPhone cost, it's not like you just buy it and thats it, whereas with the Touch, once paid for its paid for."
That argument holds if you don't currently have a wireless plan, or are getting an additional account. However, for most, the monthly bill is going to replace another monthly bill, so you only have to consider the price difference between the two. My current bill after taxes and random borderline illegal nickel-and-diming is $54, so I'd consider the new iPhone's monthly cost to be less than the full monthly bill.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one who becomes absolutely infuriated with everyone calling them "iTouches".
OMG you are SOOOO right, I hate it when people call them itouch I alsways correct them, also i-Pod or ipod or IPOD or I-POD_---- you knwo what I mean ... its iPod , i dont spell your name MaTT do I ^^ hahah awesome
Dang! I have to go to school.
Silly. Apple (probably) won't stick things like a camera on it. It can't be seen to undermine the iphone... Bluetooth..Maybe.
Who knows exaclty what they will do but at the end of the day these things are not iphones, they are ipods.
The Beatles su iTunes Store (Let's Rock, live video with London, ...)
@ Joe
Sure, the iPod touch isn't quite an iPhone, but it's not the traditional iPod anymore. It's now a wi-fi mobile platform that has gone beyond merely the media functions.
The lack of an external volume switch from the first iPod touch made the user experience less pleasing than that of the iPhone. Apple needs to resolve this. Any talk of just a price drop for iPod touch happening seems to indicate that Apple won't make any changes to the iPod touch, which I don't see being the case.
Wisest thing would be a new iPod classic and maybe to drop the MB Pro line cause they suck.
No chance of an iPhone on a different provider (non-AT&T)?
No, Jesse. No chance unless you are outside the US.
No more bugs, and video recording for the iPhone, PLEASE!
Mac Mini and Apple TV refreshes PLEASE!!!!!!!
Ryan
The iPhone costs about $1200 (plus the cost of the phone) a year compared to an iPod touch for $299. Unless, of course you jailbreak and use it with some type of crappy cell service like Hitlermobile....
iTouch....myself
hi macdailynews has a complete list of all the websites doing live coverage and i also found the blog for the live coverage of the event
http://live.techztalk.com
Does anybody have an idea what will happen in the UK if we get new nanos/touches announced at this event?
Will we have to wait ages to get anything sensible?
No
Thanks for Live Blogging this event, I didn't make it this time. Anyways Ill post multiple live blogging - streaming websites including yours on http://www.livecrunch.com
Thanks my Endgadget friends.
Apple store is down for "updates" - expect new products soon!
is this going to be a video blog?
Will Apple refresh MBP? No more NVidia plz.
@Jack
If I could low rank you over and over without clearing Firefox's cache, I so would
Apple store is down :-)
ok, in a few minutes, apple will reveal their latest in the ipod/consumer electronics category. I've been a devoute apple fan for many, many years. My whole family has owned macs since the late '80s. But I have to admit, even before this announcement, I'm already disappointed. As apple continues to grow in size, it has somewhat stagnated in innovation. The efforts to keep things clean, to simplify global distribution, and to make a profit have started to adversly impact its role as the leader in innovation and creativity. the company that brought us the GUI, mouse, and first generation ipod is now far, far behind in features. Social connectivity through music players? FM transmitters? With no slight intended to Ive and the design team, I think that design should not come at the cost of utility. I bet the vast majority of faithful ipod users know that accessories are what make and break the ipod. Connecting and charging it in the car, getting great speakers, etc. While apple has a tradition on the desktop side of actually incorporating great innovation and software into future software releases, I have not seen any features made by established third party providers like griffin tech that apple has incorporated into the ipod. we are long over-due for a slew of more features that allow us to get more functionality with fewer add-on and third-party hardware devices. Sadly, with apple focused on the itunes/iphone roll-out in so many more countries, and for the first time really trying to become a presence/force in so many regions, I fear that this creativity will continue to be stifled while the focus is on managing the growing enterprise. I expect at least a couple more years where this will be the focus. But if apple wants to stay ahead of the curve and maintain its ever growing customer base, it has to once again wow us with cutting edge innovation to accompany top-notch design in its consumer electronics products.
appleinafrica @
ohhhh.... just quit wining. what the hell is wrong with u?
so apple is branching out.... big news! where have u been the last years?
features, features, features.... if apple started to put every-single-piece-of-crap in their products, you would end up with a fuckin' SONY.
Apple is growing. And, finally, really going worldwide.
THAT IS GOOD. Open your eyes and embrace the changes.

Xerox was the first to start development of the UI, Apple and MS just stole it.
@ crow610
"Xerox was the first to start development of the UI, Apple and MS just stole it."
That old chestnut! Wrong wrong wrong. Go read your history and not something you've read on a message board from a hater who also read it from a hater ad infinitum.
iPhone 2.1 (now bug-free and not slow) with copy/paste
And one more thing:
32GB iPhone 3G
I wish.
i so agree with you
i'm wanting to buy the iPhone but i want 32 GB so i can give my 8 GB nano away so my pockets wont be too full :p
I don't really know if you guys are aware of it, but Apple Store is down already. So let's wait and see what new shiny new toy are we gonna put our hands on.
iTouch, where did that even come from? I'm sure people who mistakenly use that instead of iPod Touch haven't heard of the real iTouch yet in every state I'm sure this happens. Is there some conspiracy? Another one I hate is the use of "download" in place of "install" and also "offline" in place of "from the internet". I know some anal nerd is going to point out that product names are not the same as terms but too late.... I beat you to it!
That reminds me of my all-time biggest pet peeve. it makes me crazy when companies tell you to "log on" to their website. I LOG IN to my email, to my 401(k), to my bank, but if I am just viewing your website, I am not LOGGING ON to anything.
OMG U R SOOO RIGHT THX!!!!!!
iTouch -.- its iPod Touch DAMNIT!!! xD
I ran into a guy over the weekend that was on a flight next to an Apple developer and he was
saying something about the new Laptops being Very Thin and touchscreen. -
picture messaging and SMS for iphone....
?! Dude... the IPHONE 3G is the LATEST APPLE PRODUCT.
They are NOT making any changes to it right now.
Why would you think that?
I hope that they do something good with the ipod touch...
