The Apple Music Event is just a few hours away and we are, as always we are both sure and unsure of a few things coming our way today. The entire Web has been streaming with news, rumors about the iPod Touch 4s, etc in association to what is coming. Starting from the most pointless of Lady Gaga to start in new Apple Commercials, all the way to a useful extension of preview length for tracks on iTunes. There can a lot more or many might just be left disappointed, though the probability is low.
I thought of jotting down a few expectations that I have in connection to today’s event. Thought I would share what might be coming our way, beginning with:
The iPod Touch With 3G Support / 4Th Generation iPod Touch
Rumors for this have been rampant, from the leak of LCD screens of the 4 Generation of the iPod Touch to those regarding the support for 3G networks. This would mean we will be able to use our iPod Touch much like the iPad 3G. Users will be able to able make use of the contract free data connection using their iPod Touch. Expect a front facing camera for FaceTime [Maybe you can use My3G to use it over 3G networks instead of WiFi just like your iPhone]. The iPod Touch 4 might also feature aback resembling the MacBook Pro.
Though many doubt that it might leave a dent on Apple’s prime product, the iPhone. A rumor and it will remain so, it’s a different device and I bet Apple won’t do anything stupid to kill their own product in any way.
The Square iPod Nano
This will be the pointless of announcements if it has to happen. Seriously, the device looks small [err Nano?], neat but I don’t see a point in someone spending cash on this music device. via
News On iPhone 4 With Revised Hardware
Though this had been hinted for quite along, expect something in connection to the iPhone 4. Especially for the fact the issues with the Antennagate and how Steve Jobs tried to justify it by blaming every other smartphone and getting a slack for it [most recent by Samsung for Omnia 2]. The new iPhone 4 will be available by the end of September or mid October and will most definitely fix the Antennagate issue.
We have already talked about the iTunes bit on extending preview length earlier. Lets wait and see what’s coming our way with today’s event. Apple will be Live Webcasting the Music Event, you can check out the schedule to learn when you can view this in your region here.
