jlmodell Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) They removed all educational discounts for nanos/ipods, and updated their page telling you how many you can buy per year (removed ipods altogether). Drats, I was hoping to save $10. Silver 2gb on order. Switched it to a 4gb Green nano 2g The stream is working now too Edited September 12, 2006 by jlmodell Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491875-apple-event-on-september-12th/page/15/#findComment-587876653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishrman Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 when doing an install of itunes 7 in os x i noticed an option for install itunes phone driver, is that new? Could that possibly be a driver for one of those Motorola phones? I'm not expert with tbe iTunes + Phone thingy that Motorola had going back with the ROKR and the like, but perhaps its that smoking gun about the "iPhone" we've been looking for. Or maybe its not, lol. :rofl: Someone shed some light on this, 'cause it..seems interesting.

jackwanders Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I don't get it. Why bother with the whole "determining gapless playback" thing when you could just play the next song immediately after the current one finishes? Plenty of mp3 players do this already, don't they?

giga Veteran Posted September 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2006 Is it just me or does the new iTunes icon look very different from the other default Mac OS X applications? We might see an updated icon style in Mac OS X Leopard after all. Yeah it's different. Some new gloss on the note.

rayjin Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 They removed all educational discounts for nanos/ipods, and updated their page telling you how many you can buy per year (removed ipods altogether). Drats, I was hoping to save $10. Silver 2gb on order. The stream is working now too I still see the education promo on the Canada site.. it points to the old Ipods with reduced price to match the price of new Ipods. I wonder if there is price protection from Apple.. I recently got the 4GB Nano and now it's a $30 diff.. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491875-apple-event-on-september-12th/page/15/#findComment-587876668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigapixels Veteran Posted September 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2006 What's the difference between gapless playback and the current crossfade?dL Exactly what it sounds like. Instead of fading between the two tracks so your hear a little bit of both at the same time, it starts the next track immediately after the current track without any delay. I like gapless playback a LOT more than crossfade.

Toxicfume Veteran Posted September 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2006 They are still 5G ipods, just updated. I assume a majority of the updates WILL be in a firmware update for the old version with exception to maybe the battery (unless they just made it more efficient) and the screen. Somehow I really doubt Apple wants you to have the new software features of the 6G on the 5G ipod without buying a new one.

MrKuro Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 iTV is born... Wireless Box to watch movies and shows on tv . . . but my xbmc enabled xbox's have done this for years already (and they will probably be cheap, and more feature filled than this pretty looking device. Although this solution will be fine for people without those resources. . . . also the price of these downloadable movie is way to high. I was hoping for 9.99 for a new flick, and 5.99 for an older movie. Plus the resolution sucks, no 5.1, or bonus footage. For their price, I'd rather just buy the actually dvd, or "aquire" the movie from other sources Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491875-apple-event-on-september-12th/page/15/#findComment-587876720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdsams Veteran Posted September 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2006 the itv looks ok but it lacks DVR?
