Yeah I've read about this - Hopefully we're told a bit about it next week!

EDIT: I wonder if we can expect a Microsoft Office demo also!!

Nice, that's definitely a step in the right direction. With any luck they'll offer digital audio out on the iPad 3 as right now you have to faff about with the CCK if you want to use an external DAC.

weren't they planning on buying greece? I'd have the mainland landscaped into the logo.

They'd buy Ireland and take the re out to make iLand.

iPad 3 left, 2 on the right.

Something's not right there, Im looking at my ipad2 right now and it's not that much out of focus, it's the camera and the aperture affecting the depth of field........

Fostex HP-P1, or Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo both do this for portable use, for desktop there's plenty of cheaper options (iStreamer and so on).

Last week, we noted that shortages of the Apple TV at third-party retailers had begun spreading to Apple itself, with a number of the company's own retail stores reporting that the set-top box was unavailable for immediate in-store pickup. With a part number for a product with the code name of "J33" and known to be the next-generation Apple TV also surfacing last week, it certainly appears that an update is imminent...

Certainly looks like we'll be seeing more than just the next generation iPad tomorrow! Any guesses as to what they'll be including in a possible next gen Apple TV (ATV)?

I'd imagine a bump to an A5 CPU and 1080p support to go along with the hi-res iPad.

 

[Conanius]

I'm both excited and slightly gutted about potential releases. Bought an ATV2 and iPad 2 32GB Wifi last year ! Nevermind

Need to start working up to swapping things round

Don't buy an iPad3 then cos in 12 months you'll say the same thing about the 4

I would be in no rush for the ATV3 myself either, the ATV2 jailbroken with XBMC is a fantastic device as it is

limited to 720p though, while not such a deal breaker for most, it does render sbs 3d slightly useless

 

[PaulyD]

Agree on the 720p, but I will imagine it will be a long time before the ATV3 is jailbroken and has as much support as the current ATV2 does.

Would be interested if the ATV3 can read from network drives natively

When do you reckon they will announcing anything to do with their laptop line up?

They won't*. However a new MacBook Pro is due soon.



* Unless they truly change the design they'll just update the Apple Stire page one day.

I am looking forward to this event as always with Apple they are great.

 

[GJ02]

is it going to stream live ?

 

[Belloni]

Eurgh, i seriously can't wait.

I don't care for anything else except for the release of 5.01 iOS, if that doesn't happen to fix the battery life, this is getting sold (iphone 4s) straight away!

Yes, I was thinking that until someone told me a jailbroken iphone/ipod touch running xbmc with the HDMI adapter works just as well
