According to Boy Genius Report, this is supposed to be Apple’s 2009 Black Friday ad. As you can see, the deals are very, very good. 30% off all iPods, 25% off all Macs, and up to 15% off all Apple software, hardware (strange, right?), and accessories. But here’s the deal breaker of this deal: No discounts on the iPhone of iPod Shuffle. Still pretty good though, now we have to wait and see if this is even real.

As Phil shows here, the iPod Shuffle will now come in different colors for a great price.
September 9th, 2009. The day that the Apple iPod event will start to rock, and roll. It starts at 10AM Pacific, 1PM Eastern time for you people near the ocean.
What’s gonna be there? No one knows yet, but most of us have a pretty shrewd idea that there will be iPods with cameras, a possible Apple Tablet, and anything else that Apple has up their long sleeves.
One little note: See the iPod in that pic? The headphone jack is at the bottom, meaning that it’s not the iPod classic. It probably will die after all.
UPDATE: The event will be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. So go there to get rocked.
Blow out all the stuff that could be possible at the “It’s Only Rock and Roll’ event, so that means:
Comment!
Now that you know can pre-order a Zune HD, and you know what colors it will come in, you would like to know the actual specs. Well, here’s what a Zune HD can do in the video department:
Windows Media Video (WMV) (.wmv) – Main and Simple Profile, CBR or VBR, up to 3.0 Mbps peak video bit rate; 720 pixels x 480 pixels up to 30 frames per second (or 720 pixels x 576 pixels up to 25 frames per second). Zune software will transcode HD WMV files at device sync.
MPEG-4 (MP4/M4V) (.mp4) Part 2 video3– Simple Profile up to 2.5 Mbps peak video bit rate; 720 pixels x 480 pixels up to 30 frames per second (or 720 pixels x 576 pixels up to 25 frames per second). Zune software will transcode HD MPEG-4 files at device sync.
H.264 video – Baseline Profile up to 2.5 Mbps peak video bit rate; 720 pixels x 480 pixels up to 30 frames per second (or 720 pixels x 576 pixels up to 25 frames per second). Zune software will transcode HD H.264 files at device sync. DVR-MS4 – Zune software will transcode at time of sync.
So now, what’s the battery life like?
(Holds breath)
Music, up to 24 hours (wireless off); video, up to 4 hours*
It’s okay, 24 hours is alot, but the iPod Touch has 36 hours, although it’s a claim, and it’s much less. Even then, is that all Microsoft?
Maybe it’s the Nvidia Tegra chip.
Hey, Tegra, go on a diet..
According to Apple Insider, an Apple Tablet is coming in 2010, instead of 2009, which what the China Times claimed. They believe it will have 3G capability and it will not be with AT&T since they say Apple is not happy with AT&T. They also state that it will be shaped like a iPod Touch, will be 10 inches, and will be priced between $299 and $999.
In the meantime, Gizmodo thinks that it will be called the “Macbook”, something that would be confusing with the current white plastic Macbook that’s on sale for $999 USD. Why? They name would be the same!
I personally think that it will not be called the Macbook, instead Apple will come up with one of those interesting names that they always make, it could be called a “Mac Touch” for example, or “Apple Tablet”, maybe even “iPod Touch 10-inch”?
You decide what to call it, Apple.
Tell me what you think!
