Totally baseless speculation
So it’s finally official – there will be an Apple press conference on the 12th of september, and my favourite game of totally clueless and useless speculation (I have no inside knowledge) begins anew:
- They will introduce a movie store, you read it before, blabla. It will be way too expensive.
- There will be a fullscreen iPod, that resembles the MacBook fun, my clueless speculation from february. But it will be widescreen (movies!), maybe a bit smaller than 10” and it will have all those cool patented features like showing the controls when the finger is near the device, etc. The nano will be mostly unchanged, but they will increase the capacity.
- iTunes is for music, not for films. Movies in iTunes just don’t feel right, and I’m sure many folks at Apple agree. So there are two choices: Either make iTunes a media-center app for films, music, DVDs, etc. and move the focus away from music. That requires a mayor overhaul of the interface. Or (and I think that’s more plausible) make iTunes a music-only platform again, and introduce a new program for video and movies.
- So whatever happens, we will see iTunes 7. And maybe a new program. If I had to propose a name for it, I would call it “Showtime”.
Ok, let’s see If I got something right. 7 days to go…
