Bear in mind, Jobs is making fun of wireless capacities today. Apple probably waited for the right time to release the "video" iPod (IMHO they could've waited for at least 640x480), so it's not as bad as you describe it.
There are other wireless capacities that wuld be much more useful, for example, wirless bluetooth headphones. (Like logitech makes, but without the external transmitter)

I'm installed the updated but my temps have gone up.. from about 34C degrees to about 54C.
34C is really, really low. 54C sounds more normal. How does your MacBook feel to the touch? Warmer? Perhaps it was reading the temp incorrectly before and is now reading it correctly?
i have a week 26 white 2.0 MB. it has a screw on the bottom in the dead center. it was never serviced.
Hmm. Maybe WillMak meant some place else then?

I had my 160gb classic ripped off. I would have been pissed if I couldn't replace it with a new one, which I promptly did.
I also still have my 20gb from 2002. It's like a priceless artifact. Survived a year of combat and it still rocks.
I bought an 80gb when they came out, then gave it to a friend when I got the first 160gb.
I will always own the highest capacity iPod.
Hoping the classic sticks around until at least it can be replaced by the touch model. Still, I love the classic. It's rugged and holds everything I have, and it's also simple. No wifi, app store safari, etc.
Just iPod. Classic!

Wow. Hewitt is one of the big developers on the iPhone. That's a pretty big loss for the iPhone man. Some seriously big shoes for the new developer to fill.

Seriously, if you think that's a big developer you live too much in Social Networking sites.
That guy doesn't touch tens of thousands of n-tier professional developers who write call center suites, engineering applications, Wall Street Financial applications, Power Plant applications, etc.
Seriously, he's a kid who got known for Firebug. BFD.

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=)?:)

Whats the point in the 8 gig when you can get so much more capacity for only £20 more?!
Seems fairly bizarre really, you'd have to really like little black things to bother surely!
anyone getting one care to explain your rationale?
I can fit a large chunk of my 20 GB library onto an 8 GB iPod, certainly more than I'd listen to for a week or so.
I'd like to have 24 hours of battery life.
I'd like to go running with it (hence flash memory).
I'd like to get a Nike + thang at some point to motivate my lazy ass.
I'd like to be able to fit it in my sexy lady jeans without looking like I've got a small child stuffed in them. :p
I know where you're coming from, but I just sold my 20 GB 4G iPod to pay for this, because I never used the full capacity and it was bigger and heavier than I'd prefer. I'll never watch videos on my new one. It'll be very rare if I look at photos on it. I'll never play games on it.
So, although I do like to get the best value out of things, I feel like I am with this, because I'm getting more stuff I want (size, no hard drive, better battery etc) for a cheaper price. Which is a good thing. :)

Nice library, but do you need it with you at all times? I used to think I did, but I've found that I don't need 11,000 songs with me all the time. I have songs in my library I haven't listened to in years. Another reason why the iPod classic is dying, Apple, and iTunes, have made it very easy to manage the music you actually listen to, and add it to your iPod.
Yes, I like to have it all with me.
I listen to music for 9 hours a day when I'm at work and used to get frustrated with my old 60GB iPod photo because I only had half of my collection with me. I've had my 160GB classic since 2007 and I'm now down to my last 5GB of free space.
A new 220GB classic in September would be perfect timing. :D

I know we've overdosed on speculation recently, but the MacRumors live transcript from the keynote today contained the following line (from Steve I believe):
10:24 am lots more announcements during the next week
best to just wait and see......
I thought that was for the Universal Binary third party - not Apple's.

Officially, no.

Skunk and Sydde present facts. You can only present a faith-based belief which is based on assumptions, one of which is that the bible is divinely inspired. Clearly, this assumption can never be proven particularly to someone who does not believe that there is anything "divine" to begin with let alone that a particular set of works is the reference given by such. Assumptions based on assumptions is just too hard to swallow.

As WWDC approaches, a number of images (mostly fake) and last minute speculation continue to emerge. The most notable tidbits:
- Robert Scoble (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/laptops/robert-scoble-says-there-will-be-a-dizzying-amount-of-new-products-at-wwdc-191572.php) claims that Apple is "readying a dizzying amount of new products" reportedly based on inside information. (previous claim (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2003/02/20030218034443.shtml)).
- A WWDC Banner photo (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/08/20060803110323.shtml) (mirror (http://guides.macrumors.com/Image:Wwdc2006.jpg)) has been revealed, showing off the usual development icons. No clear new announcements have been revealed, but Apple is prominently displaying the "64-bit" emblem.
- It appears that Apple will be distributing a Leopard Preview build to developers at WWDC. Apple has already posted (http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/QTNoStepsDemo/index.html) some sample code with the Build Requirement: "Leopard Preview".
- More iPhone images (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/08/20060802215346.shtml) and movies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v520U3vS2iI)) (both likely fake).

I agree that Apple needs to come up with some new designs for their hardware. I think the new nanos are a perfect combination of the nano (slim design, flash memory) and the mini (seemless casing, scratch proof) but the other products seem to be long in the tooth. The MacBook Pro/PowerBook has looked basically the same since it was debuted with a G4 processor (what was that, 2002?). The MacBook/iBook got a somewhat update look with the latest release, but kind of took a step backwards IMO.
However, with all of that said, 99% of us do not work for Apple and do not know how to design like they do. Where do you go with the current MBP? I would love to see an anodized black version but that still does not give us much of a difference at all. I am interested in seeing new products. I was dissapointed when they released the new MacPro's in the same encolusers. An extra optical slot and moving the power chord to the top of the tower does not count as a redesign.
Oh c'mon!! Why did the designers at apple pay education for?? Really?!!
Ok... I studied design myself(although a cinematographer now ;) ), and I know how hard it is to keep a sleek, clean, "ahead of it�s time" look and feel. But please!! 1yr Retro style?? Are they using recycled minis or something??
Really guys... This is not a complaint but Steve "Marketing Master" Jobs was not happy on this one... I know alot of people love the minis, and I also know that they will sell millions of "retro" nanos... but in a market POV it�s really bad to "go back in time" with design and say it�s brand new. And one last note about them: There�s millions of colors on the pallete... why use the same ones?? Again: are they recycled?? Cause if they are, I�ll buy a couple, just for the sake of "saving the world".
the Mac Pros for example... they could�ve done the cases with different finish or something.. but keeping the same design saved them millions of cash...
BUT WAIT!! :p
Ok... let�s get a little optimistic here:
Steve told us all last year, that this (2006) was going the be the "year of transition". So it�s quite dumb of us to expect big redesigns, and/or mint new technologies...
That makes me think that the design team is REALLY focusing on applying those new patent technologies on a brand new line of products hard/software. And what happens is:
Marketing Director - Time for new yearlly ipods!!
Design Chief Exec. - Do we still have some Mini aluminum on stock?
Chief Hardware Engineer - Yes plenty for a couple of million.
Design Chief Exec. - Okay, so let�s just wrap up our current stock of nanos with it, and get the hell out of here.
Marketing Director - Yes, cof cof, sir.
;) These are just my two cents... :p
Conclusion: Big redesigns -> 2007-2008

Those are some really nice specs, I am sorry if this has been answered before but do we know what Core 2 Duo they are? Conroe or Merom :confused:
The 1.83, 2.0, 2.16, and 2.33GHz clock speeds show that it is Merom, not Conroe. Conroe would be 1.86, 2.13 (2MB L2 cache), 2.40, 2.66 (4MB L2 cache), and 2.93 GHz (Core 2 Extreme)
Since the 24" model is at least prosumer, it would have been nice to see that one get a Conroe (Extreme even).

This is exactly what many said in response to the article yesterday. Delay three months to get support for next gen networks (and who knows, maybe unify the ATT and verizon hardware). Despite all the hand wringing, it's hard to imagine many happy iPhone users would defect over a three month delay.
Much better to get new features three months later than ship in summer without them and have to wait a whole extra year for them.
Exactly this.
I'll wait, hopefully our wait will be worth it though. If we could see LTE, a revamp of iOS 5 (specifically notifications) and a speed bump (dual processor) I will definitely hold onto my iPhone; for another 3 months with no issues!

If they increase the amount of RAM to 1GB they could increase the amount the integrated graphics use to around 128mb, the current 64mb is a bit low.
The 64 MB quoted for the GMA950 is actually a "sliding window". It can (and often does) request a larger chunk of video RAM from the memory controller as required. Out of that chunk, the GMA950 slides around its 64 MB window to adjust which areas of memory it can directly manipulate at any given time.
(According to Apple's website, simply booting MacOS X on a MacBook or Mac Mini causes the graphics system to commandeer approximately 80 MB of RAM.)
__________
BTW, that's the reason why computers running the GMA950 chipset will be able to run Windows Vista using the new Aero interface, despite the fact
that systems with dedicated video RAM of less than 128 MB will have to use the Classic (Windows 95/98) interface.
