Yes, a different device but the Macbook can do more, USB port for one. If the price is close to the price of a starter Macbook then I can't see as many people buying it when for a few pounds more you can get a full computer.

a high end macbook air is similarly priced to a low end mac pro...
2 different products... 2 different needs...

People used same argument for the macbook air. It didn't work then either.




edit..
Dalvin200 were obviously on the same wavelength today lol...

Here's hoping! :-(

If he says anything though, I think it'll just be a firm release date.

I expect we'll be right back here tomorrow, refreshing webpages to see if prices are showing up yet! Except I'll be crying. :(

And now your saying apple have said no price till the 20th!! I say utter bull
(if your not that guy then sorry)
 
my random guess is friday 30th at 14.30 PM

well clearly no one knows for sure so it's just a waiting game :(

so things you could do until release:
1 - rewatch the demos on apple.com
2 - rewatch the unboxing on youtube
3 - read about the bad wifi issues
4 - look and gasp at the ebay auction prices
5 - post random guess of prices and release dates in this thread :D


not that i'm complaining but come on Apple release the dam prices and the dates
 
I know for a fact that it will be released on the 29th of April at 3.23pm

I can't link because I am unable to type http://

:D

we could just put the above 5 steps on loop! :)
 
Yeah I assume all the dates flying around are just rumours at the mo.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for an announcement with the )OS 4 conference tonight.

Anyone found any official Apple cases on eBay? Such a wide search I keep getting cheapo ones.
 
I've had three emails today from eBay stating:

"We'd like to let you know that eBay has ended an item you were bidding on because the item appears to have been listed without the account holder's permission. We are now restoring the account to its original owner. For privacy reasons, we can't share any further details regarding this member's account."

I'd forgotten I'd even bid on these! They were all different sellers.


I got one of those too. wonder if it was the same seller, or another one? mine was for an ipad in the UK
 
I just can't see a pricing announcement. Why would they announce it when they are there to talk about the iPhone OS, I dont no whether all this waiting has turned me into a pessimist but i really cant see it happening tonight. I'm looking forward to the other news we can hear tonight about the OS and the waiting can start again afterwards!
 
What do you think is the probability that Apple gives us a date for places like the UK, Australia etc tonight?

Anything's possible, but it's very improbable IMO. It'd be very 'un-Jobsian', un-Applelike, for a major new product's worldwide release dates and prices to be an add-on feature of an event that's touted as an iPhone OS event.

I'll still be watching and hoping, though.

But with every new day - and week - of April that passes without any news at all, I think a release date slip to May or even later becomes more likely.

Not even, a we are also releasing in these countries on this date, with no mention of pricing or anything else?
 
seeing as we're now only 3 weeks away from the end of april - do you think apple will even do pre-orders?

US pre-orders started march 12th for delivery/launch 3 weeks later...

it's gonna be a tight squeeze maybe?
