Well, as of now, my previous predictions stand, although apple is good at pulling rabbits out of its hat and surprising everyone. There are tons of rumors moving around now and most of them contradict each other. IE no more hard drives vs 160gigs, wi-fi vs none, fat nano or micro nano vs no nano. The list goes on and on. Its fun to read them and make predictions and such but by the end of the day, Apple would either wow you or disappoint you. So yeah, my previous conservative predictions stand and if they release a 100gb touchscreen iPod without wi-fi, kudos to those waiting for it. If Apple will just remain with its original screen size and modified form factor, sorry for those disappointed.

Anyway, whether there will be nice new iPods or ugly looking ones, I'm just praying that it can be iModded. If not, fine with me, less harm for the wallet. At the very most, lets just hope the disapperance of stocks happening these days wont mean that some people’s wait for cheaper gen5.5 iPods to be iModed is swiftly drying out.

Does anybody know if the big event is going to be broadcasted, live on the interweb?

According to Macrumors, there won't be a live feed of the keynote presentation. However, you can subscribe to their notification list, so you can get the link to the stream once Apple posts it, so there are no spoilers.

The sometimes reliable Think Secret just posted their expectations.

wow - everything I would want assuming the iPhone like interface lets me take notes and record messages (like a digital recorder).

I was about to get an iMod - I think I might wait for Vinnie and Ken to come up with an iMod for the iPod 6.

I'm wondering if with the release of the Beatles catalog on iTunes is this will bring about the release of the REMASTERED catalog that has been in the works and completed recently? Man I certainly hope so.

I think that they're going to keep going with the brushed aluminum look for the new ipod nano, and hopefully adopt it for the regular ones. I've been holding out for a new ipod ever since the first generation of nanos was released. I hope it does have an iphone like interface, with useful wifi...

If it looks like this and has at least 80 gb (hopefully 120) then I will buy on September 5th.

[edit] and allows me to type in notes and store electronic books (not proprietary or special e-books just something that I can store text files on) and has voice recording features and either works with my iPod radio remote or has radio remote features and costs less than $399 and doesn't scratch easily and ....

160 Gb and the possibility of being iModded would put me in line tomorrow.

Of course no way to know about the 2nd wish untill Vinnie has had a chance to check one out.

 

[spraggih]

Check this out - I went to the link "TheMarchingMule" provided and found this link-- it talks about a touchscreen iPod almost one year ago.

Sooner or later all of our predictions will come true

What a coincidence - Zune announces price drop.

That appears to just re-site the earlier linked Think Secret article, no?
