Wow, that's a long title. Blame it on A leI ider, who believes most -- if not all -- of those yummy goodies will be delivered to us in a nice wra ed package by The Jo himself at next week's su osed media event. According to the rumor peddler, at the yet-unconfirmed September 12th event Jo will take the wra off...drumroll please:- An $9.99-a-pop movie download service with films from at least one major studio. The idea is that the rest will see how Freakin' Amazing it is and follow suit -- a la TV shows.
- A new 23" iMac that we reported on earlier.
- A new non-scratch metal iPod nano with "at least double the storage capacity of today's models."
- What they believe is a new Airport Expre -like device designed to stream video content from your Mac to your TV/home entertainment system. AI says "it's arguably been one of the most closely guarded secrets at A le since the evolution of the first iPod digital music player."
I'm most interested in that streaming device. This i 't in the article, but imagine: plug your Airport Expre to a TV and be greeted by a Front Row-like interface that streams videos/music/photos directly from your Mac, controllable by the included A le Remote. Pipe dream? Maybe. But I gue we'll find out next week.
Check out the article for more in-depth information and AI's standard "it could be pushed back a little" disclaimer.
