    I'm not sure how or if this would apply, but Apple's sales policy states:



    Should Apple reduce its price on any shipped product within 10 calendar days of shipment, you may contact Apple Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775 to request a refund or credit of the difference between the price you were charged and the current selling price. To receive the refund or credit you must contact Apple within 14 business days of shipment.



    If your within the 10 days, it couldn't hurt to ask.

    Damn. The Ship Date on the Delivery note says 27/08/03... 12 days. Damn. Im phoning tommorow anyway... ...Whatever - the excitement im feeling isnt cos i could get a better iPod its that- (and this brings my mind back to Future Hardware) -what PB will Paris bring to the world? Come on guys, G4 iMacs with 1.25Mhz PPC, 160GB(!) hard drive, 1GB DDR 333 RAM, and 64MB VRAM... excuse my spec whorishness but man! What will the pro line up look like!!!

    Don't trip, it's not your's or apples fault. I have a 15Gig ordered, supposed to be here in 4 days. But they canceled it, automatically upgrading it to a 20gig for me. How nice is that?!

    I'd bet my pinky finger on that one, because that's info I got from Apple. That plus the new OS update, but that's all that I have any definite, reliable info on at this point. I did get a phone call from Paris about an hour ago, the word is that it's all still secret, but I did make them promise to call me immediately when they see/have pictures of this stuff, so I'll post again after that.

    Does anyone else feel like a total geek for getting this excited about stuff that 99% of the population could care less about??






    You sound a lot like that PowerJack bloke from MacWhispers to me. Just more unsubstantiated rumour. We'll see.

    methinks the G5 PB's are a distinct possibility after this little bump.

    any takers?




    I'm starting to have similar thoughts, despite wanting to be all sensible and conservative about such things.



    The best PBG5 scenario that I can come up with is that IBM has developed a low-power 970 variant, and kept it under wraps at Apple's behest. This scenario sounds plausible enough, so who knows? We will, soon enough!

    That's what i wrote in another thread:



    maybe Apple & IBM worked simultaneously on a "portable G5" like the centrino is ...



    and maybe tjayswift knows something more about it??

    Maybe, maybe not. We've seen a lot of people on these boards with pretensions of having inside information: these pretensions are hardly ever backed by anything substantial.



    Anyhow, we know that the 970 has been under development for some time; something like 2 or 3 years. We can only presume that the development of low-power variants was part of the project more or less from the start. So I'm starting to talk myself into a more optimistic position about what we can expect to see in Paris.

    Something to keep in mind: I don't think the keynote is being webcast or shown via satellite (seems I read that somewhere yesterday). Whether or not that means something, who knows?



    Is the Paris show traditionally streamed or not? I can't remember. If so (and now it's not), it might point to a keynote of "not that big of a deal".



    But if there is traditionally no stream, then never mind.







    He might very well unveil G6 iPods and a anti-gravity tablet.

    I took a few anti-gravity tablets at a party, and my voice was really high-pitched and squeaky for the next couple of hours....



    I just looked at the expo site, and I didn't see any mention of a broadcast. So you could well be right, alas.

    IIRC wasn't WWDC also not streamed?

    or was that just my crappy conxn?
