iCal, iDVD, Rumors and Deep Thoughts

As many have noted, iCal has been quietly updated to 1.0.2 -- up from version 1.0.1 released just a few days ago. Changes include bug fixes for those in Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii.



Despite reports that iDVD has been updated... it appears some people were not aware that iDVD 2.1 was released back in July. The iDVD 2.1 Upgrade is not new.



Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.... er... CompUSA that is... one Appleinsider user reports that the San Francisco CompUSA is being significantly updated:

    "There were Apple people in there completely revamping the area today.. seemed that the iBooks and Powerbooks were missing, but they may have just been cleaning them. The area was roped off. The upstairs Apple store within a store was completely ripped out down to the walls and floor. The windows are covered over and say that they appologize for the mess (ok I paraphrase) but that a new display is on the way. "


However - one CompUSA employee writes that all stores are simply redoing their layouts and Powerbooks and iBooks are simply being moved. Note: even software introductions or Airport introductions could prompt new displays and may not represent anything more significant.



LoopRumors.com posts information about a claimed tablet-like Device from Apple: "Apparently it will be a digital lifestyle device, and not necessarily an iPod, but rather similar to an iPod."



And finally... a quote from one of the users in the MacRumors IRC conference to help you through these tense times pre-MacWorld:




    Do you think that we are all running around wandering about and looking for the thing from Apple that will make us happy... but the funny thing is what makes us happy, is the fond memories we are creating in the process?



One more day... :)

That last quote is a good one. I just "swtiched" with the relase of the new iBook myself. I am enjoying the community, the rumors, and the frenzy quite a bit. I am really intersted to see what this MWSF is all about, took me forever to relize what that stood for:p

Im actually dare I saw excited about it, its like a culture. I never in 12+ years of pcs/windows actually got excited and interested in a confrence or whatnot.

in case you haven't read the other thread about ical 1.0.2, one of the things they've changed (i suspect the only thing) is that now us Aussies and kiwis (and people from Vladivostok) can use the cals in our native timezones without everything going insane.

with regard to the other stuff... well, it sounds like it's going to be huge.

excellent.

i only wish it were a big upgrade for the powerbooks. mine was doing some very weird screen flickering the other day. got it on video. letsw hope it doesn't happen again, because there ain't no power 4 variant in a powerbook yet.

LoopRumors.com??? Looks like they are pretty confident, and it's good to hear a fresh voice out in the rumor world. I sure hope they are right on. I'd love to get a "insert name" as soon as they come out.. it sounds pretty cool!

Just to tame thigns down a touch...

Major store changes could also just be there for new iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie displays and demos...

there could be no new hardware at all! :)

Let's not get too carried away...
