i dont know if this is any relavance, but about 30 mins before the store shut i was trying to get to the macbook purchase page where you chose any upgrades you want and i couldnt get onto it:confused:

So maybe something to do with that or there fixing some technical glictches with the site,

But more than likely its none of the above


They're switching over to Intel OS X Server which would effect all aspects of the store.


Apple.com should go down for a split second too but we won't notice that one.

Hate to be boring but it's probably the XServe, Woodcrest is out today...

Yup thats the likely product to get an update. But you never know Steve could have a surprise up his sleeve.;)
 
It has to be something *rather* significant to have the store down, does it not? When they added the new U2 ipod, the store didnt go down. Minor updates and price changes dont make it go down.

That being said, it most likely is Xserve, followed by MacPro. I highly doubt there are going to be any new laptops (unless there was a new form factor released, and we would have heard rumors of such a thing)
 
music tab

There's a 'music' tab next to the store tab, was it always like that or is this new?? maybe a new tab (videos...) is coming up??

No, especially since it is not Tuesday...and the store was down shortly for the greed Pod.

Pretty sure Europe stores went down for the price drops.

I think that's there from the pre-iTunes days. They haven't updated the "Be right back" page since.
 
I wouldn't be surprised to finally see the real video iPod. It's been rumored for so long. But, I would of expected some rumors leaked throughout the last week.

Would have thought they are saving that for November/December holiday buying season if indeed the said product exists.
 
How long is the store usually down for updates? It seems like it has been down for at least an hour now.

If the macpro came out today I would just poop myself... wow that was a profound statement haha.
 
Woodcrest is 'released' today, although general availability won't be for a few weeks - maybe Apple got the first batch however.

I'm guessing XServes primarily, then maybe an Intel Mac Pro, although the G5 PowerMacs won't be removed just yet.

Shall we start placing bets on when it'll be back up?

My guess: GMT = 16:10
If it goes any longer, Apple's sticky note would be a liar.

well this post was made at 4:11pm so if the yellow sticky label is truthful it will be back up within the next 10 mins

Well it doesn't have to be shipping today, but an announcement would be great. :)

Uploading all the pictures and video of the newly redesigned iMac, the video iPod, and the iPhone may take a little longer than an hour though.

I thought there was a video ipod already? Can't you watch tv shows on your ipod?
