iPod Apple says "Let's Rock", be here because it will be a big deal...

[215512]

Can't Wait!

Oh I Can't Wait!I Can't Wait!I Can't Wait!I Can't Wait!I Can't Wait!I Can't Wait!

I live in Boston which is EST and I will be in school until 2:30 so this will be just pure torture!

If the iPod Touch prices comes down enough, I think I might get my hamster one too! The two main things I love in life: iPods and hamsters! What could be better! This event is going to be Hamsteriffic!

When a company has to start saying to reporters that a media event is going to be a big deal, it means 1 of 3 things.

1. It will be a big deal, think iPhone style hype all over again...
2. Apple are desperate to get press to view their products rather than MS (who are releasing a new Zune on the same day)...
3. Apple are bluffing and it'll just be the not very exciting updates we've been reading about for ages...

I'd imagine Apple thinks most press events are "big deals", but I've never heard them call one event like this.

I'm hoping....iTunes Plus for the whole iTunes Store? I'd love to see that...but still I don't know if that's a "big deal"....or some type of new product.

Either way, I think tomorrow will be an exciting day

I am pretty sure this statement made me laugh. I am POSITIVE there are worse decisions apple can make. For example...

Selling Apple to the company Frizbee.

Or... Rereleasing the 1gen ipods, and stopping production on the others.

Not to mention that this is a completely relative argument. What is a "worst decision" to you, could be a great decision to others. For example:

If Apple decided to, in secrecy, bomb your house with mustard gas. This would be a bad decision effecting you. But as of right now, i wouldn't care.

Okay, Mr. Literal. Calm down.

You an scratch number 2 off of there. No way is the release of a Zune important to anyone but the Zune guy, and not even him anymore.

Apple may be bluffing, but since when does Apple need to bluff to get people to come to one of there events? I don't keep track of these things, but in my limited experience, Apple gets yahoo frontpage news without really trying.

There's no way in Hell that they're bluffing....you can only cry wolf once and the media would never let them live this down if they made fools of them. Apple has too much to lose to create animosity w/ the scribes. Not gonna happen.

Something is going to happen tomorrow & Apple is is spreading the word differently for a reason. If it isn't notable then no way Apple will ever be able to do that again.

So the Zune has now been released...ohh...ahh.

Laughable that they think they can actually steal some of the iPod's thunder.
Step aside...
