Post by: neXus on January 09, 2007, 12:51:48 PM
At the same time as CES but of course not at CES (were to big to show up there) lol

Apple will today announce whats next for the company and whats on the way again.


IT looks certain that they will finally show off officially the iPhone and more infomration and progress about the iTV box and maybe, just maybe finally show off the new ipod video with the wide touch screen.

thats gonna be Ã,£500 and Ã,£700 over here.  US Contracts IIRC are a lot more profitable than UK ones, also they know they can charge shedloads more because its an Apple product.

I like Apple hardware, but for once I can see no point.

Sexy, but rather pointless. I like buttons, yes I do!

Be interesting to see what the interface is actually like, sounds like theres some pretty clever software behind it as well as the finger-print magnet.

Regardless of my dislike of OSX and a fair few things apple. That is rather smart. Tho it majorlly looks like a "hey dude come rob me" kind of phone. If could be made slightly more discreet, then as long as its updatable and you can customise it all with UI add-ons and your own program sets, then it will be perfect :)

Hah Ã,£100! :mrgreen:
More like pray and hope for back of a lorry iPhone. :P

More like there will be variations of the iPhone in the future, like the iPhone Nano or something. :P

Nice but pretty pointless the iPhone, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC and etc have been doing this type of thing for some time.

Apple TV, looks good but theres rumours of an HD version in the works. Like most Apple hardware they go out of date and you cant upgrade them.

Dont get me wrong I love Apple, I just wish they open up more.

Its a nifty bi of kit but Ã,£700 is silly money for a phone.
