For some reason, I imagine that, in the dead of night, strange figures start lurking around this building in the shadows, making grunting noises, and you hear random Mac chimes echo in the darkness.

I've worked this out. Apple will launch a new ipod. It will have a screen and cost between $50 and $500 and will play music from the iTunes store.

When will we start seeing pictures of the boxes of Apple products sitting out in the open, behind the warehouses?

@Collins1: I dunno, that kind of sounds like a pipe dream.
@taylors_dad: When the iPhone 4G comes out.

nothing says "We are completely in the tank for Apple" like posting a story about a picture of a banner appearing at a future event launching same-old same-old mp3 players with.. more storage.

@Aturayd: Nothing says "I'm a troll who shouldn't bother posting" like a comment like that.

So is Apple ever going to come out with different iPod ads? Its been the same thing for like 5 years, where as the creativity gone?

crap. I was looking forward to new macbooks / MBP.
with a banner like this is almost impossible that they will give us some laptop love. I need a laptop ASAP but i cant wait until January. PLEASE APPLE GIVE ME A LITTLE MACBOOK LOVE, i would kill myself if a new MB is released 2 month after my purchase.

@lolec: Can you wait until October?
@lilkeith7: Yes. Why doesn't Apple just change the iconic iPod ads that everybody loves and recognizes? Yeesh.

I would really want to get a new ipod, but I already have an ipod touch that i use every day. so I dont really see a point as to me getting a new one unless it has a bigger screen or something. but it's always nice to see the new ipods coming out. cant wait!

@dlozarie:
you're kidding I hope, you can barely see the iPod. LOL
Seems like a lot of Hype for a new Nano, hopefully there's a bit more to it than just this. we'll see. Like A2DP Bluetooth!!! and iTunes Music Store streaming etc. blah, blah, blah, who knows, we won't until the 9th, fingers crossed, will still sleep well tonight either way. ;-)

Is it just me or does the iPod that guy is holding look like a Nano 4G?

@Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass:
Apple will never include A2DP Bluetooth... the quality of audio isn't that good, and it Drains the battery!..The mass market Can't even Pair bluetooth headsets with phones..imagine doing that with iPods..Best Buy still charges $15 bucks to Pair a headset. Maybe in the future they might have their own proprietary wireless technology(typical apple)..but i don't expect it anytime soon..

The banner shows a wire going from the iPod (thought it might be a soda can ;) ) to the headphones.

@seamustry: I'm sure you forgot to insert some zinger involving the word "games" in that post, so I'll let it slide.
Wait, no I won't, you're a Bill-Gates'-dick-sucking-troll.
Burn in hell.

this advertising campaign is ridiculous. They covered up the "whale building" in Dorchester, south of Boston with some ugly ass Ipod advert. What a disgrace. They need some new graphic design too, that shit is tired looking

TSNN has determined that the new ipod nano would have a screen bigger than inches, because then the click wheel would not be in proportion. Follow them at www.twitter.com/tsnn

Well, I wouldn't mind an iPod refresh. My 80GB Classic was stolen last month, but I haven't replaced it yet. I was worried that the day after I bought another 80GB Classic they'd announce a brand new iPod that was even better and less expensive.
