Apple plans special media event for October 12

Apple is planning a special media event on October 12, which may see the introduction of the video-enabled iPod. The event, planned for Wednesday, October 12, is one day after the company announces its financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter. The invite-only event is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. October 12 at the California Theater in San Jose and follows another special event by Apple where it introduced the iPod nano, iTunes 5, and the Motorola ROKR iTunes phone in early September. According to one report, the invitation shows closed theater curtains with the words "One more thing…" written on top.

[Whatever it is, I'm buying one that day.] Let's hope they are selling "a life." Sorry Scotty. Couldn't resist. ;-)

Red Curtains?

Hmmm...kinda makes me think of, oh I dunno, a cinema maybe. Either that or Apple have come up with some way of miniaturizing actors so you can carry a theatre in your pocket. Just think, "The complete works of Shakespeare in your pocket!" Well, maybe not. But the curtains are tantalizing!!! Of course, it could be the generic "...we're going to unveil something!..." but I think not. Now is the time for an old rumour: Steve never believed in watching things on a tiny screen, so deep in the bowels of Apple they were(are) working on video shades, the coolest wearable heads-up display ever. Problem at the time was battery life. Ring any bells?

This is a sure sign that the G5 powerbook is imminent!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I would not be surprised if this is the "set top" box type media center everyone has been talking about.

Despite all the naysayers, I've still got my fingers crossed for an Apple-branded PDA. I'd easily pay $700 for a pocket-sized Mac that integrates seamlessly with iCal, address book, iPhoto, and iTunes. Hell, I'd pay almost anything for that.
