Analyst: Apple CEO Jobs to make ‘significant announcement’ during September 20 Aple Expo keynote

American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu expects that Apple could introduce more than just new iPods at the Apple Expo this September.

“We believe Apple could use the upcoming keynote by Steve Jobs at the Apple Expo 2005 event in Paris to make a significant announcement beyond just new iPods,” Wu said in a recent research note according to a report from iLounge. “We believe this could be new markets including music subscriptions and video and the ever-elusive Motorola iTunes cell phone.”

A spokesperson for Apple Expo 2005 would not confirm to MacDailyNews that Apple CEO Steve Jobs will present the keynote address this year. AppleInsider’s Kasper Jade last week reported that Steve Jobs’ staff “have already arranged for his trip overseas. Judging by the preparations being made for the Paris expo, sources further stated that Jobs is expected to make at least one major announcement during his presentation.”

The Apple Expo 2005 Keynote presentation will be held at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, on Tuesday, September 20th beginning at 10:00am, (4pm EDT).

  1. Bill Gates and Microsoft have given up! With immediate effect Apple will be making available OS X lite for use on all wintel machines, with the full version available only on apple boxes.

    That’s it Mr. Giraffe, get all the marmalade…

  2. I want a new Newton, damnit!!

    I want it to have iChatAV and Bonjour with Airport so I can have video conferencing at any given hotspot!
    I want Bluetooth!
    I want RSS for news and podcasts!
    I want audio recording capabilities!
    I want Voice to Text support so I can dictate emails!
    I want Video playback support!

    I want a new Newton, damnit!!

  3. Yeah, I want the new Newton, too. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

    Also, It would be so cool if Apple and Sony were to join forces and make the underlying OS on the PS3 be OS X. Then Macs would get all PS games for free (perhaps with a Cell-based card or something) and Apple could put the iTunes music & video store on PS3 as well as a Tivo-like thing.

    Just blue-skying.

  4. I want a six button mouse, I want I want I want. You people are never happy. You have a Mac!!!! Windows folks would give internal organs for an OS like Tiger but their job or ignorance (or both) won’t allow it.
    You’re among the lucky few and you should be glad.
    Anyway. This iPodPhone had better be good.

  5. Why does someone always have to say, “let the rumors begin!”? Are we not allowed to start rumors without this person? Must he on high tell us it is now acceptable to start rumors?

    It really makes no sense to me. Oh! NOW I can start rumors. Good thing I didn’t start one an hour earlier…what a mistake that would have been, but NOW it’s okay, because it the decree has been placed: LET THE RUMORS BEGIN!

  6. Yes, years ago, Queezie was the official designate for rumor initiation. We have always had to wait for that announcement. So if you don’t like it, then, let the rumors stop!

    MDN magic word “Start”

  7. Unless the iPod phone is actually a relative of Newton, I hope that’s not it. Frankly, I’m getting pretty bored with the whole iTunes phone deal. Yes, I’m glad they’re doing it, but I don’t think it’s earth shattering. I’m afraid, at this point, it’s going to be a let down because of all the hype and conjecture. Then again, if anyone could prove me wrong, it’s Apple.

  8. Y’all boys who want a Newton, I have a mint condition MP2000 I’ll sell…
    I’d just rather use my PowerBook instead of Newtons etc.

    MD word: family; as in Mac users are one big happy one. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />

    TOO; as in me too.

    Don’t forget the ImageWriter II and LaserWriter II, two legendary workhorses.

    As for any big announcements, absolutely anything is possible so I won’t even hazard to guess. I just wonder what’ll be found lurking in a Paris elevator this time… ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

    What qualifications are required to predict that something significant will be said by Steve at a keynote?

  11. If you want more mouse buttons just duct tape your keyboard onto the top of your mouse like me – much less costly; though I’d wished Apple would make a mouse attachment to do this to speed up the transformation.
