Apple To Make "Music To Your Ears" Announcement

supa_k writes "According to an offical Apple invitation sent to the good folks at MacCentral, on April 28th Apple will make 'announcements that will be music to your ears.' It remains to be seen if this involves a purchase of Universal - something Apple offically denied just a few days ago but it will undoubtedly be the announcement of their online music subscription service and the other announcement will surely be new iPods."

Re:Looking forward to it

[mrpuffypants]

I always try to weasel info out of the peopel at my local Apple store.

The other day I went in there looking at the powerbooks nad told the guy that "I couldn't justify the 17"pbook and the 12" wasn't much better than my ibook. However, I'd go for an updated version of the 15"

He tells me "dude, if I knew anything I'd tell you now, but I haven't heard anything"

Accodring to him the store employees at the Apple stores literally don't see any new products until the day they come in, and it's just sitting there on the shelf. True?

Re:Dell dumping iPods, so...

Actually, Dell just re-signed their retail contract with Apple, so unless they're gonna start selling iMacs, I imagine Dell will be selling iPods again soon.

New iPods

The new iPods should be available in 10, 15 and 30 gig versions according to ThinkSecret. They also say it should also include a docking station.

For all those people who do not believe the rumor sites ThinkSecret has proven time and time again to be nearly always correct. It is not MacOSRumors. :-)

iPod battery problem

actually, I found that the new 1.2.6 version of the ipod firmware solves the problem quite nicely; once again I can get 10 hrs of music off one charge.

has the latest firmware, as well as the older versions and all the tools you need.

Actually, in a way, you're right. Dell stopped selling iPods because of Apple's iron grip of a contract. However, according to MacCentral, Dell, Fry's, and Micro Center all re-signed their retail contract with Apple.
