The only official word is "late this year to early next year." We'll know more in a few days.
officially? Before Vista. :D
Why is no-one here talking about the WDC banner?
(a) you mean WWDC ;)
(b) there's another thread about it. ;)

I'd have been sold on the 11" if it didn't have nearly 4" worth of bezel. I currently have a 13" MBA and I really hope the next true redesign addresses the bezel issue. I'd love to have a 13" screen on a MBA that has the footprint of the 11" That's really the only thing that will get me to upgrade my MBA. Sandy Bridge refresh is nice, but not reason enough for me to upgrade.
For those 13" owners who are bothered with the fan noise, you really should check out coolbook. I've been running it since I first learned about it and its been fantastic. Battery lasts longer, MBA runs a lot cooler and fan speed has NEVER hit full speed since I started running it.
It is a shame that Coolbook will not work with the SB version of the MBA when it comes out....

Oh, there's no doubt we've lost The Ashes. So well done to England. They were certainly the better team. However, I think England should play to win this one. They're playing it a little safe now.
Get Australia in and destroy them. Big hitting and lots of wickets in a few hours. That would be cricket!

People with PCs must not leave their houses much...I've been to coffee shops and airports all over, and it seems about half of the laptops I see are Apple.

@wilw posted this (http://twitpic.com/47aisk) funny pic earlier, so I did what any right minded person would do: Make a desktop theme out of it. It's subtle, but there's date, time, weather and itunes info in there.

Is that Twitterrific 3 still running, or have you found a way to mod the appearance of Twitterrific 4?
its the version 3.2.4. without a mod.

In my tiny private HS if your phone was out / rang in class they confiscated it until "the next school day" even if that meant a 2 week long break.
Even then, a parent had to come retrieve it for the student.
I asked the principal once what we were to do in the event of an emergency over break without our phone and she said "I'd recommend staying home"

IMO Apple built this giant datacenter in order to launch its own search engine to compete with Google. Why ?
<snip>
I think they built a giant datacenter to stay in front in the cloud race. With Amazon introducing a cloud service, HP pushing hard for cloud services, and even Microsoft singing the praises of cloud services, I think Apple see the future for selling its products will involve deep cloud integration. In order to do that, they need a cloud. Ergo, datacenter.

it's funny how people say it's just a phone. It's not that its just a phone its the PRINCIPAL of it.
It's like a store owner who catches someone who steals a canned good that costs .98 cents. Most store owners would prosecute that person to send a message.
Same thing with the iphone. Is it okay because it's just a phone that a trade secret should compromised? Obviously some people on this board don't understand how competitive the industry is.
And as for this hurting Apple i doubt it really makes apple look like "The man" Maybe some geeks will feel that way or some people who want a reason to dislike apple.
But Apples sales are still at an all time high. The AAPL stock is high so im getting a great return. And i wouldn't compare Apple to some Orwellian creation.
A Company that is attempting to protect it's intrests is not evil. However a person who profits from Theft by monetary gain or in this case a Journalistic scoop is evil. Gizmodo is Reaping what it Sowed.

Are people as outraged by this leak as I am? I can't believe it. He just stole Steve's thunder at a later secret event. This will end up costing Apple the element of surprise and the impact of a special Steve announcement. We've got to punish Lion's Gate somehow. We need to boycott all of their films and show that they cannot mess with Apple. The mothership is under attack! Who's with me? :mad:
Right, like industry people haven�t been talking to each other about this.
No thunder stolen as everybody is fixated on the Apple phone, the 200TB iPod with holographic screen and the new G5. I forgot the new Newton, we will all waiting for that.
Will a movie download service really be that much of a break through?
I do believe that if the price is right, the current level of compression and resolution will be fine (annoying, but tolerable.). I will still buy Criterion DVDs and shoot to build a library that is not only resident on my PowerBook. I'd really rather see a good film in a theater.
This service will be a boon for people like me, who don't own or watch TV. This is the one time I could see a plan like NetFlix working for Apple. I would pay for a service that allowed me to have well resolved movies that I can only watch once, or that only work for a few weeks or so.

The engine cradle of the new Corvette C6 is made primarily of magnesium. If magnesium is the choosen material to contain a 7 liter engine spinning at 7,200 rpms at temperatures hot enough to boil water, it should be good enough for the lowly iPod. Now the MBP, thats another story.

Final Cut Studio and Logic Pro are a couple of the prime examples of software best still delivered via Disk. Not only is the software mammoth, it takes over 3 hours to install directly from the disks. And as fast it is to transfer data via disk compared to over the net, you bet that this would be a huge problem for 2 reasons. One, it would take forever to install. Two, a lot of folks have monthly limits on data, so you'll be hitting walls a lot quicker, that way.

this doesn't contradict loop insight at all.
they said no iPhone 5 at WWDC. This is saying iPhone 5 is coming shortly after WWDC.

God this is the best news of tonight, i can finally get rid of my iPhone 3G.
June will be amazing.
So.. iOS 5 (which is rumored to be a total revamp), A5 Dual Core CPU, upgraded GPU, larger screen, NFC, and a tweaked design yet same form factor. I'm really liking the sound of this.

My interest in the 11" stems from fond memories of my two favorite computers that I've owned: 12" PowerBook, and a Sony Vaio P. Wonderful little machines that I wouldn't hesitate to take anywhere (especially the Vaio P, of course). They were each my only machine at the respective time. It's so liberating to be able to whip out a little notebook for a moment, with little drama.
The 13" MBA and the MB/MBP aren't nearly as compatible with my usage style.
I had the 11" air and the 12" powerbook...Loved the powerbook so much more than the air. The air was simply too small for me.
I have been really wanting to pick up the 13". Great at everything.

I think the point today was made that Apple, Inc is not longer Apple Computer, Inc.
Announcing computer stuff along with the non-computer Apple TV and iPhone would have diluted that message. :confused:
If there's any company that knows how to keep in the media limelight, it's Apple. My guess is that they're going to let everyone speculate about the Apple TV and iPhone for a month or so and when the press dies down for them, then they'll have another press event for Tiger and iLife.
Besides, Vista's big consumer launch is at the end of January. What better time to steal the media limelight back than to announce software right after that?
How many "events" did Apple end up having last year? It was almost ridiculous! :)

I suppose the "True Video" iPod will be released at a special event along side the iPhone and PowerBook G5? :p
(Well, two out of the three would be nice.)
why is it still funny to sarcastically imply that the Powerbook G5 will be here "next tuesday". It's not so clever anymore and it doesn't really pertain to anything. so please guys, can we poke fun at apple's track record in a new and exciting way?
Speaking of the Ipod: I honestly don't think apple would have dropped the prices of the current 5.5's without providing a top end product (i.e. Video Ipod) before the end of the year. As it stands, the current 5.5 is only 50 bucks more than the overpriced nano. That's not much product differentiation at all and it hints that the current Ipod won't be top tier much longer.
