Official Thread - Apple Event - September 9th, 2008

[aphex]

Most rumors have iPod/iTunes updates as the primary focus, but as usual, we won't know until tomorrow.

I assume all the usual sites will provide coverage, links will be provided as they become available.

Sure as hell hope iTunes 8.0 fixes all the app problems as well, my last sync took 3.5 hours (and thats with backups turned off)

 

[TheBiggmann]

Anyone heard any leaks on what the macbook/pro will recieve for upgrades?

 

[umrigar]

Have you tried connecting your iPhone to your system directly? I have heard that if you do that, directly connect your iPhone sans any USB hubs you might have, that your backup and sync times will be greatly reduced. I am not real sure why this might be so, but apparently it works.

My backups, in general, take close to an hour. It's kinda crazy... it's only what like 1GB of data? It shouldn't take more than 5-10 mins.

 

[mflacy]

Great automatic updates at http://live.ilounge.com/

I have never used Party Shuffle, but isn't Genius just like Party Shuffle? Whats different?

Looks like Genius Shuffle will find songs that go well together. IIRC, Party just took songs at random?

I'm confused. What's really new about the new iPod Touch besides an added speaker and the Nike integration?

Volume knobs on the side... slightly different format (bit thinner, more steel look instead of front plastic bezel).

I have a 16 GB touch and was worried the new one would be way better and include GPS. Seems like it's not a huge difference and there's no GPS so I'm not sad

 

[silverpig]

Sweet, the 2.1 update is free for touch owners with 2.0 software. I get nike! and genius playlists

Yeah, I guess. It just doesn't seem like a huge difference to call it a real "redesign" to me. At least they officially announced iPhone software 2.1. Hopefully, it addresses a lot of bugs.

Doing away with the 160gb iPod and "downgrading" it to 120gb is a stupid stupid move.
