New Apple Lust Objects

no, I'm with you RW. Maybe I'd need 80-160GB if I was going on a months-long trip. But 1000 songs on 16GB will do me just fine for anything else.

ipod classic is cool in theory but i can't imagine ever needing 160 gigs. the scrunched nanos look fucking ugly and i don't understand why anyone would pay for a 16g phone-less iphone instead of getting a proper 8gb iphone and waiting for an unlock.

nothing here's really that compelling! i'm ipodless at the moment and the one that looks most appealing to me is probably an old-school 8gb nano.

and actually my 2GB nano is way more than enough for most things

rumors of iphone price drops?

is the phat nano a replacement for the old nano or a new line? if it's new, what's the advantage?

video, I think

where is ichat for iphone and ipod touches

i basically keep my entire miusic collection on my ipod so 160g would be cool.

-Can now buy whatever song is playing at Starbucks with one tap of a finger
-When you get near a Starbucks, automatically a 5th button will show up in the store with Starbucks logo
-Great partnership with Starbucks that we're announcing today

ew

wherein Apple jumps the shark

McCartney's behind that.

barf

ha this starbucks thing sucks!

Starbucks-Apple-Google your cuddly megacorps.

However, if they did this at music venues, that would be cool.

What, let you find where the nearest Starbucks is after a show?

"I'm over Denny's now, Carl. I've aimed higher. I'm upwardly mobile."

i was thinking, download the bands' tracks, but what the heh, either way works.

would be cool if you could see other peoples' music collection in starbucks

"I MUST purchase this new cool jazz compilation."

"-iPod or iPhone will automatically recognize the song that's playing at the current store and 10 previous songs, buy it with one click"

will each Starbucks be broadcasting this, or do all the Starbucks across the country play the same song at the same time?

other missing buttons include: a nike button, a walmart button and a general motors button

Yeh! Can't I use my Nike iPod+ kit while jogging down to Starbucks to download the latest Paul McCartney album?

Schultz offered some operating statistics for Starbucks and said that his company has "gotten pretty serious about the music business as well," pointing to the eight Grammy awards Starbucks has won.

what?

bwaht?

they came free with boxes of cap'n crunch.

a ray charles button

8GB iPhone now $399

They should make it compatible with customer service centers so you can download the hold music with the tap of a finger.

16gb iPod touch is $399 too. So it's a phone, or 8gb more space. Weird.

8GB iPhone now $399

It begins. Roll on January.

ok now they are going to confuse the shit out of the general public

I can't think of a more appropriate Starbucks follow-up than KT Tunstall, really

Does anyone know if the new iMacs will come pre-loaded with Leopard in October?

off topic

he meant leppard

they haven't announced a ship date on Leopard, so probably not

but if you buy an Apple computer in between the announced date and actual shipping, they mail you a copy

is the touch missing email, too?

yeah wtf w that

Looks like the touch has a lot less.

"It's fantastic that Steve Jobs is making it more fun to pay for music than steal it!"

KT Tunstall

KT Tunstall took the stage and performed her hit song, "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree."

what, she couldn't even trot out "Suddenly I See"? At least that was from last year.

So all the Beatles hype was a prick tease for Baby Boomers? Kudos.

"We could just give you all the Beatles' songs on an iPod, but we decided to go one step further. How would you like to download that one song you once heard in a Starbucks?"

by paul "the beatles" mccartney

god save anyone who walks into a starbucks and is introduced to new music
