"The beat goes on"

"The beat" in french is "les beat", which is an anagram of "Beatles"

I'll just get my conspiracy theory and my jacket

I saw an article that said "The beat goes on" were the last words of the
press release that announced the break up of The Beatles.

I'll be amazed if The Beatles don't turn up on iTunes this week.

OK I'd say there are definately new iPods coming out today because on the radio this morning (it's 08:50am here in NZ on Wednesday) Harvey Norman our largest electrical retailers were advertising that you can "pre-order the enw Apple iPod, be one of the first in New Zealand to have the new range of Apple iPods, numbers will be limited, and get a 10% discount if you pre-order"

So sounds like they've busted an embargo to me

*Shudder*

I felt a great disturbance in the RDF... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced...

I've figured out how to improve the lyrics for her new song

Here comes the rain
(Here comes the rain)
Wash away all the pain
(wash away the pain)
Coming together, going apart
I want you to stay
(Hope you wanna stay)
What you trinna say?

I wouldn't say it's 'confirmed'. Source have confirmed means little, if you
want to claim that a report is confirmed you need some evidence, nothing
that's turned up so far has matched say the Time cover with the iMac on it.
Every rumour site claims to have confirmed what they post. It wouldn't be
much fun if they said it was speculation would it?

Mind you that gives me an idea for a new site. I reckon Apple are still
working on a camera you know.

iPhone form factor, new interface and 120G disk will probably get me to risk a serious kicking from "her indoors" and splurge my next bonus on one.

Just as long as the surprise isn't a new boom box and leather case
for the iPods.

see my post from 12 hours or more ago, the local radio here had an advert to pre-order the new iPod.

remember it was wednesday here when the trailed it so I think the ad agency bolloxed the time up and busted any embargo.

they mentioned the new iPod range from apple.

So what time is the conference and who's doing a feed this time? I'm not in the market for a new player at the moment (See my Wasting money thread) but it's always interesting to see what Apple throw out.

If there really is an iPhone-like iPod that's not a phone I'd likely be up for it
