It’s Only Rock And Roll But Will We Like It???

Well, tomorrow is the day. The Apple faithful will gather to hear the latest news from Cupertino. As usual the rumors are swirling about.

There will be a tablet! There won’t be a tablet.

Steve Jobs will take the stage. Steve Jobs won’t take the stage.

The iPod Classic is dead! The iPod classic is getting a camera.

iPods with cameras are ready to go. iPods with cameras are delayed by a production glitch.
(This latest rumor has gained significant steam over the last day.)

It really is amazing the degree to which Apple can stir interest and excitement in the blogosphere by (seemingly) doing nothing.

There is, however, one thing we do know for sure…

We won’t know anything for sure until Apple tells us tomorrow.

So the question remains, when the dust settles and all is clear, will we like what Apple is offering us or will it be yet another time when the rumors stirred a degree of excitement the reality can never touch?

Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen

    The ‘camera trouble’ seems to be one of those things taht is based on a single report based on months-old info, that has suddenly gotten new life, and people are feeding the fire by updating it without citing the ‘months old’ part of it … what I’ve seen is another one of those ‘wort of the web’ examples, regardless of whether or not it ends up true.

    Heh heh. Nothing is funnier then reading all of the rumors about Apple and then the next day seeing the disappointment. That’s what they have been getting as of late. Here’s my off the wall never will happen predictions….

    Apple will loosen app store restrictions allowing all sorts of apps.
    Apple will announce iPhone on VZW or Sprint.
    Apple will give everyone a free upgrade to DRM free music.
    Apple will release iPod Touch with cameras and 64 GB of storage.
