Honestly, with these new Nanos and the Shuffle there is simply NO competition...these revamps are just what Apple needed, and it did it perfectly...the best of Minis, the best of Nanos...AWESOME..!
The black Nano is gonna be on my shopping list now...GO APPLE!

Personally the Zune is looking fairly attrective right now. Ever since the 5th Gen iPod came out everyone has complained that it needed to be widescreen and have a bigger screen. I don't care for the WiFi sharing really but you have to admit the interface looks pretty nice.
Oh yes, a "click wheel" that does not actually have click wheel functions is such a nice interface...:rolleyes:

How could Wal Mart feel threatened by anything.
They are more powerful than most countries.
the ITMS has been kickin in full swing for years now, and Wal Mart still leads in CD sales, and music distribution by a long shot.
I hope this goes really public and gets exposed through the media, so everyone knows what WM is trying to do.
I would have loved to hear the phone call between Jobs and Lee.

Will the keynote be streamed live?
No, it will most likely be shown on apples sight 2 hours after its ending however MR will keep up with the details of the event.

As for 'professionals' getting pissy:
I don't think any of them care too much about the new features as much as they care about the speed updates. That's the biggest benefit for them.
The 'quick' editing features are useful for some 'pro' edits, definitely useful for a pro-sumer.
My best friend is an editor in a production house in Hollywood and his concern was that they didn't talk about tape workflow, video in/out cards, 3rd party support or XML-based export - among other things.
Just the concern is that they re-built the app and added a lot of GUI and 'smart' features but they didn't say anything about the dirty nuts & bolts.
So - it's an area of concern.
If Apple did what they did with iMove - re-built it from the ground up and removed features (most of which were re-added in the next version)
Well that would be a concern as the 'new' version wouldn't have support for their existing workflows.
(not workflows like "we like to do things this way" more workflows like "because of how this was shot or because we need to export to this specific tape deck" workflows that you can't really mess with)
It's mundane stuff to 'fans' and 'prosumers' but critical for higher end production houses.
A lot of people (me included) were pretty annoyed when Quicktime X came out with fewer features than QT7 . . .
As for the other reason editors might be grumpy:
Some of their 'work' will be partially replaced by smart features.
So they might worry that their exec sees this and gets rid of their assistant because "the software can do it!" which isn't necessarily the case.
Professionals get grumpy when all of a sudden software allows people to do things that used to be their 'trick' exclusively.
Old designers complain about Creative Suite, photographers complain about Photoshop/Lightroom/Aperture, music producers complain about Pro Tools and now editors will complain about Final Cut.

Now, I wonder if part of the iTunes deal involves "Yesterday and Today" and if a digital version of the cover would be included?

It is really pending on whether AT&T will be up to par with Verizon's LTE by this fall... This is why I still think that the iPhone 5 will have no LTE(coming in June again), and the iPhone 6 will be coming out in June/July of 2012 offered with 4G(LTE) from either Verizon or AT&T...

So lets see, I just bought a new mac book however I really don't like the built in antenna for some unknown reason and I go to walmart and buy an external card not made by apple. I then go the airport, where I'm hacked and my life is ruined there is no going back. Riiiiiiiiight.
What a crock, the odds of someone getting hacked is about .1% or less. What gets headlines? A Mac getting hacked not windows who cares. These guys are tools, and I love the links to the ads & the ad in the video they make you watch. Nice touch, way to make money off of Apples good name.

Looks like someone at apple didn't think things all the way through correctly :p
Until 2 days ago the Swiss Store had MBs for 24 hour shipping...now it's slipped to 3 days..!
Bottomline: we're gonna have new MBs by next Tuesday the 14th...rest assured.

Hey guys, allow me to redirect the conversation here because I think you're all missing the point a little bit:
OK, so I just watched the video and all I can say is that the video demo IN NO WAY proves that they've done what they say they can do. First, the BIGGEST thing in this exploit was that this hack was supposed to work without having to connect the hacked machine to any network, yet the first thing they did in the demo was CONNECT the Mac to the Dell!!! Not to mention that they attached a third-party network adaptor (if that was even what it was). Even then, all they got was a shell for the current user.
That doesn't even start to get to the issue of what the video actually showed--which was VERY LITTLE. Just watch it, where is the proof that they even actually did the things which they claimed? I could have made that video EASILY. When I first read the report, I thought the video was going to be one of something that was done LIVE! Hardly...

So buy the full version outright and get data plans with no caps. That's the beauty of a free market - you get to decide what you want and if the cost is worth it.
Until, amongst other things, your own wage is determined by "market forces". What appears to be gold is really iron pyrite sold on a silver-plated platter.
And if companies start wanting welfare while otherwise saying to us how the free market is "good". Like FedEx: http://www.progress.org/cwfedex.htm

This firmware update seems like a good thing, but I'm just afraid of the computer shutting down even though it supposedly ignores temp readings. I tried running the hardware diagnostic, and guess what. The MacBook still shut down- multiple times while trying to run the test. I was unable to get the diagnostic to run at all. Should I just call Apple up and start demanding answers and taking no prisoners? Or should I be more sly about it? I'm just starting to get pissed off at what I thought was a great computer company.

And that is fine, but from a practical standpoint, as I said, you must figure out how to deal with localized economic distress caused by cuts in the military. You also have to deal with the fact that the military controls access to some really impressive weaponry. Take these two things together, the prospect of sudden poverty and ghost towns and the prospect of a bunch of rather testosterone-amped cowboys having their guns taken away, to me that looks like a recipe for major disaster and probably the reason the Pentagon's budget is so difficult to rein in.
I certainly have no problem with the idea of wasting a whole lot less money on "defense". I just think the realities of such cuts need to be looked at from the big-picture perspective.
So, in this situation, would the Military Complex be called an entitlement program, as much of it exists solely to keep people from starving or going homeless? Because that's what it sounds like to me when you talk about it like this.

For those about.. to use high-capacity player=)
What will be the ideal ipod for you?
For me it is:
Ipod-like model with clickwheel. Support of ALAC. Black/white.
Sata interface instead of zif (with programm support of dual-disks drives and unlimited music titles), so that consumers could choose prefered storage (maybe someone want 32-64gb fast ssd instead of hdd). This also let us install up to 320Gb in this device. To save battery, I would prefer old-fashioned black-white screen. And, if it possible to fit, more advanced music system (for high-end headphones).
This is my vision of iPod line:
If you want touch-screen media player (but for some reason don't want iPhone) = iPod Touch
If iPod Touch is too big = there is nano
If you think nano is still too complicated, you just need something to play mp3's = shuffle
BUT if you are looking for high-end MUSIC player with high capacity option there is new :apple:iPod Classic 7th generation:apple:;).
What do you think? How about a petition=)?:)

No, Apple is a hardware company that develops the OS that runs on its hardware.
How about this? Apple is an ecosystem company. Their business model depends on the user experience being sound, solid and pleasant. Trusting the core OS or the hardware to other companies makes it difficult to guarantee that sound, solid, pleasant experience. Their hardware business relies on their software business, which relies on their hardware business. Without one, the other doesn't work. Fostering software developers is their way of maintaining relevance (and these days, dominance).
They handle the hardware part with hard nosed and shrewd business practices, such as locking up long term contracts for displays, etc.

Strangely, the iTunes update was the best thing to come out of the announcements for me today.
Updated regular iPods- Meh
Updated iPod Nanos-Why didn't they just come out with a flash based Mini last year?
Updated Shuffle-New form factor..nothing really new though...
Selling Movies-BLAH...Too expensive and no rental option...who cares
iTV-Somewhat interesting but without cheaper movies/rentals I'm not sure I would use it. I don't know that I want to rip all of my DVDs to take advantage of it.
iTunes Update!!!-Woohoo! Many of the complaints of users are addressed and several slick new features! Probably the best iTunes update in two years IMO!!
