ive never bought anything apple... ever. but i eagerly await the day they make a product that entices me enough to actually buy it. here's hoping this is it :D

skyblaze waits in anticipation]]>Jan 18th 2010 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/Note for the 27th: just this once, could everyone please let me enjoy the damn live coverage? I'm looking forward to whatever's released, and I'd really appreciate it if everyone who feels the need to be a dick about Apple posts would just . . . not comment for once. Please. I'm serious.
OK I'll make you a deal – how about this: if all you witsters and snarkers don't comment on the 27th, I promise to comment something snarky about an Apple product at some point in . . . let's say February.

Hey, I just realised.

This may be the first piece of Apple news this year that isn't actually a rumour!]]>Jan 18th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
Their are Apple products worth their price. The iMac price is only slightly overpriced but fairly solid all in one. Not for me though. But I have to ask you.

Why would you look forward to buying a device that has a 30% chance of turning you into a brain dead consumer or even worse a douche?]]>Jan 18th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
Do not expect it to be less than $999!
But never forget you are buying more than the internal specs, the quality of design and materials it as also to be paid for.]]>Jan 18th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/haha... you're funny...]]>Jan 18th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
My wants:

1. It's gotta be running a dual or multi core CPU
2. It's gotta have a front facing camera
3. It's gotta be no heavier than 2 or 3 pounds
4. UI should look like the iPhone's but with larger icons.
5. It better have decent enough graphics for gaming
6. It's gotta have GPS, WiFi, bluetooth (for third party stuff like thin foldable keyboard) and USB
7. Battery should last 12 hours of use (not standby, use) ..possible if they use an advanced display technology.

As for size hmm .. 10 inch .. but maybe 13 inch would do too (form factor of an LCD off a macbook pro).. and pls minimal or no bezel mmkay? Also wouldn't mind a 6 inch (diagonally) model with a 2:1 aspect ratio for the display.]]>Jan 18th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
Good luck with that. The Apple Haters Brigade are already fine-tuning their comment GripeBots for Jan. 27. It's what they live for.

Me, I'm just hoping to see a really cool new device that won't shut them up per se but make them seethe with jealousy nonetheless.

Steve Jobs should throw a Tina Fey "Suck it haters!" line into his preso.]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
Hmm you know what I am thinking why not go oversize .. like 15, 17, inch or even 21 inch tablets like they had in the movie Avatar .. they'd prolly weigh too much though with today's tech .. hmm.]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/Jan 18th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
The live feed is on here, right? I'm kinda new here, so pardon my not-knowing-my-way-around-ness please.
Anyways, during the introduction of the 3GS last year, I was watching/reading a live feed that would refresh every minute or so, and it would show the latest stuff from the keynote.
Unfortunately, Im not sure which website this was on. Was it on here?
Any ideas anyone? Thanks ]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
Or it will be like the MacBook Air or AppleTV.

Funny how you just assume everything Apple released was like the iPhone.]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/

MY expectation?

1920x1200 display on a 7 inch screen

8 gigs DDR3 RAM

Core i9 Processor

3 USB 3.0 ports

2 HDMI IN; 2 OUT

802.11 N WIFI

AT&T AND TMO 3G

a complimentary pet chocobo

All for $299... no contract :P

And I doubt there will be a tablet, but if there is it will be nothing like the rumors, completely revolutionary, amazing, and the first gen will be over priced and be missing all th features that actually make it useful.
And I think maybe Macbook Pros with Core i3/i5/i7 processors.]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/Jan 18th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/

Last time I checked, no brand-new product was released in October.]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
Nice. I have a few too...

1) On release it will be hailed as 'a new technological paradigm' by the usual bloggers and tame journalists. Numerous articles will be penned describing how it can do innovative things like 'browse the net' and 'display words and pictures'.

2) It will sell a million or more to the usual fanboys and glitterati. This will result in more articles from said bloggers and journalists about how it will dominate everything and replace the PC, TV and Cinema by 2012.

3) Sales will rapidly tail off once the fanboys, etc have got theirs and everyone else has raised the question "Sure, it's nice but what the hell does it actually do?"

4) It will have a high failure rate because they've made it as thin as an after eight mint and it will overheat even if you keep it locked in an icebox. These reports will largely be ignored by the tame press and bloggers. Anyone complaining on the support forums will be summarily executed by Steve's hit squad.

5) After it becomes clear that it's exhausted its niche it will never, ever be mentioned again by the tame press and bloggers who will be nervously looking at each other and hoping that no-one remembers what they said about world domination. They will help distract people from their words by spreading endless rumours of an Apple contact lens that, like, "beams the web to your frikken eyeballs, man!". There will be at least one article on this every week until the next iPhone comes out.]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/Jan 18th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/Jan 18th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/Core i9?

I'm typing on said 'fictional' Macbook. As for Nokia tablets, like every other tablet, I don't see the point.

But, like Hot Fuzz says, let's see what happens in a year, eh?]]>Jan 18th 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/Jan 18th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/

6) Apple fans will, like the Apple TV and MacBook Air, which they conveniently forget were hyped just like this, will see that a device that was niche is that for a reason, and will not magically find a mass audience because "Apple made the UI cool", forgetting that you actually need a USE for something put on the market, and not a logo and fanaticism.

When they find out that, gee like all other tablets and slates, most people dont care for the form factor or the limitations of such, and they will just say that people need to catch up so they can appreciate the genius of it (actually said regarding the Apple TV).

Device doesnt get mentioned again or is regarded as a "hobby".]]>Jan 18th 2010 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/its-on-apple-holding-january-27th-event-to-show-off-its-lates/
