this is not a PS from what i can tell...

Yes, that is a new iPod Shuffle prototype being tested. They use cats now because they don't spread rumors.

I care. The thing is, if you can never completely turn off your iPod and just put it to sleep, it waists battery. If you can turn it off, it saves battery which allows you to listen to your iPod longer when its on.

Hey, its wastes, not waists! Unless, of course, you're connecting it to your belt (or eating it).

As for turning it off, I prefer sleep, since it keeps it in the same place I left it, rather than "from the top". Especially for playlists and all. I was seriously irritated the one time I left my iPod alone for a couple of days, and found it lost my spot.

As for preserving battery life in sleep mode, turn off the clock, and turn off any alarms. Keep that backlight off. And for goodness sakes, whatever you do, don't play solitaire! It sucks your battery dry in no time at all (yeah, there's a 'your momma' or 'my girlfriend' line in there somewhere, I just couldn't come up with the right one).

Hi everyone, I stopped into my campus computer store today and I got a flyer for a promo that doesn't start until tomorrow. Evidently you can get a free iPod Mini ($179 rebate) when you purchase a new mac. Its a part of a back to school promotion starting June 28th - Sept. 24, 2005. You don't have to buy a mini to get the rebate, but it wont be free.

Has it occured to anyone that July 7th is a Thursday. Apple have never release any new product on a Thursday!

3. iTunes 4.9...possibly with some major podcast content provider exclusive deal

4. iPod (original) all color display line (iPod photo essentially becomes standard iPod)

5. Maybe a real surprise. They have done it before...remember Airport Express!

That's about it.

Okay, so 3 and 4 are out of the way. 1, 2 and 5 are still possible.

I think this is a great place to insert this comment:

As an Apple Store for Education customer, I'm always checking on the deals Apple sends us poor college students' way. What I'm seeing here surprises me: Instead of a $200 rebate on iPods with a purchase of a Mac, they're offering a free mini instead. This is going out on a limb, but maybe that might shed some light on the future of the minis. Given, this rebate is a surefire way to reduce inventory of the current mini. Ah, who knows? I'm just pissed that they're not offering the $200 anymore because I'd have to get the iPod. Then, I'd have two perfectly working iPods (3rd and 4th/5th Gen. however you want to debate this version) plus a mini. Ugh.

p.s. On the bright side, I'd have them conveniently stashed wherever I'd need music (e.g., Work, Home, and Car).

I don't think we'll see any updates. At least not until this cram and jam deal is over. Does anyone know if Apple has released new hardware during this period (cram and jam). I mean it wouldn't make sense to start that kinda deal when you have new products (ibook) coming out that are gonna sell themselves.

yeah that's what i was thinking. it would be weird to start off cram and jam on 28th june and then release new iBooks like a week later.

so it means july 7th is just iTunes for mobile \

edit:
but in any case cram and jam has always gone on around this time (and adjusted accordingly for australia and new zealand to Dec-January back to skool/uni).... i think

Now that the iPod cat is out of the bag, perhaps the mods should move this topic over to Future Hardware?

It sounds like this "next month announcement" should have more to do with iBooks and Mac minis.

Speaking of future hardware, Apple is really boring me now. Pathetic upgrades on PowerBooks and iMacs; lousy new iPods that are just ipod photos with different back cases. Frankly, I wanna see something hot and new. Apple can you give me that before summers end?

Dude; seriously, chill. They just released an all-new iMac, for one. They've been pumping out Tiger and working on the Intel switch, which they're making because IBM can't provide G5s fit for a new G5 PB. The "new" iPod isn't supposed to be new at all; they're just consolidating the iPod line and phasing out the old B&W iPods. Apple said it's still 4G; the 5G is coming. Apple just added podcasting to iTunes and iPod, a major change in the way people use audio content.

Hot and new? Apple's all about hot and new these days. You need to look around a little and calm down. Hypertension's a killer.

Apple's not Samsung. Samsung produces a new mediocre product every 42 minutes. Apple, on the other hand, takes the time to get the technology right and prepare the market for the emergence of new products that have substantial functional upgrades.

i reckon will see a 'iPod Video' 80GB soon, and i a couple of years they will drop the 'iPod Video' name (maybe making room for another line of ipod) and give the video features to the "ipod"

What impressed me most with the Le Figaro page were the numerous references to Paris2012 Olympic and the upcoming decision to kill off NYC in Singapore . Deep Impact also seems to have made a hit, if you will pardon the expression. {That's a Gauloise!)

I've been feeling the same about one in Japan prylX! Sure I can use the US, but what's the fun of having all those squiggly font things on my mac if I can't turn them into music!
