Being Apple lovers over here, any Apple product news is consumed voraciously. On Tuesday, January 14th at 9:00 AM, Apple Inc.’s Steve Jobs will deliver the Keynote Presentation at Macworld Conference and Expo at San Francisco’s Moscone West. For any Apple fan, this event is where we get to see and drool over the new and groundbreaking products to come out of the Cupertino, CA based company.
Over at AppleInsider.com, they have posted images of banners reading, “2008: There’s something in the air,” that have been raised at Moscone West in preparation for the event. Yeah, they’re banners, I know, but with Apple, hints like this are the fuel for fanboy fires.
Could it be alluding to an onslaught of further Wi-Fi connectivity across the Apple products?Something like Wi-Max capability for devices such as the iPhone, Apple TV, and laptops… Intel and AT&T, both partners with Apple, have been working together on the tech for several years.
An Apple TV update with wireless iTunes purchasing and movie rentals?
iPhone over the air purchasing at locations such as Starbucks, another Apple partner?
Maybe the rumored slim MacBooks??
Predictions aside, something major should come out of this years Keynote because the font change, to a thinner and “lighter” version of the company’s usual font choice, is a deviation coming from a company that maintains extremely strict control over it’s image, marketing, and visual presence. Font changes and logo changes usually signal major events for a company, so come this Tuesday at 9:00 AM we will see what change, or changes, Apple, Inc. will be bringing in 2008.
