New Apple Lust Objects

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

that'll be on the Braille Ipod

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

Apple to unveil groundbreaking new marketing partnership that will revolutionize the music industry: get a free Beatles song with every 32 oz. Slurpee.

Does anyone know if there is an iPod that will allow to buy the new Holy Hail track with one click as soon as I enter Burritoville or Pies and Thighs?

what new Holy Hail track?

Hang on, I'm forgot that I'm pissed off at the cheek of $1 to make a ringtone.

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

Also: no more white iPods.

PGRAMMYX

pretty sure the Touch will handle email via the web.

They did win the 2003 Golden Globe for lamp design

web shmeb, should be able to use the iphone's email client if it has wifi

Oh please tell me that wasn't an intentional face.

does it do internet streaming audio through the wifi?

Having vented our "STARBUCKS?" spleen here, it's well worth it to read Maura's more positive take at Idolator.

They need to use Omarion to market the Touch.

On the contrary, I think this is a perfect chance for the Unwarranted High Fives to record a sellout song of the best kind.

it occurs to me that the 160G iPod has more storage space than my Desktop's HD.

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

Starbucks has it's own satellite channel that broadcasts to all the stores.

i agree w/maura that if you looks at the starbucks thing as a proof-of-concept it's very exciting; it's practically proto-william gibson type sh*t

But what's the betting that apple have some kind of exclusive deal with starbucks for this technology for x years?

if the thing came with a microphone (a la the iPhone) i don't see why something like shazam couldn't be linked up to some kind of itunes music store scriptlet

yes, i just used the word "scriptlet"; please send me to the glue factory someone
