Apple’s online store is currently displaying the familiar message that often, but not always, precedes new product additions:
We’ll be back soon. We are busy updating the store for you and will be back within the hour.
Visit Apple’s online store here.
[UPDATE: 11:45pm EDT: The Apple Store is now back online. There are no announcements about new Apple products.]

woohoo!
The website does not appear to have any changes to it.
Hmmm… updates, perhaps, that won’t take away from next Tuesday’s shine?
New mac minis i bet u anything
Seemingly not in the UK – yet…
Haha. i sent them a message about this 5 minutes ago.

Updated MacBooks and Mac minis are coming today, just like I said yesterday.

Still nothing
Wait for it
Updates to the site are usually made 8am to 9am EST.
Maybe they have too many new items for a single announcement. Get the bump up (8gb nano) out of the way now and save Tuesday for new products (phone, living room device, etc…).
its tuesday too!!!!!
Cmon you little beeatch!!!!
It’s the first day of a new semester here…I hope I can concentrate.
MW: “Study” all too fitting. “Study hard and don’t be so obsessed with Apple announcements.”
They’re silently going to announce a the Apple Kronekker Delta that will replace all existing lines with the following:
iMacBook Pro
jMacBook (black)
kMacBook (white)
iiMac
jiMac
kiMac
and of course the new full screen iPod updates today with 1 Tb HDD inside, a smaller enclosure, full screen that also projects upward into the sky (like in Star Wars) so we can watch all our movies in 3D. And that’s just the beginning.
Aw yeah. Suck it Redmond. Crash and burn like you deserve you greedy, selfish, unimaginative, unintuitive, helpless bastards.
Like I’ve said before, I suspect updates to the MBPs and perhaps a formal offering of the updated Minis. Nothing more and hopefully nothing less…
MW. “stop” – as in stop me from reload the Apple Store page every 5 seconds please
Lower prices?
It’s back!!! ….and nothing changed…
Whats changed?
Anything?
Just opened again….
Nothing new that I could see…
Damn!
I hope we see an update to both the MacBook and MacBook Pro (both using Merom) and maybe the Mac mini thrown in for good measure.
Alright, go on home people. Nothing to see here.
Umm, WTF was that all about???
I can’t find anything different either.
macnut222, you are too late
Nothing has changed
“evening”
Some sort of layout change in prep for next week? haven’t gone to the store in a while– does it look different?
New prices on Cinema Displays
Cinema display prices changed a few weeks ago.
Something has changed for sure. I just can’t find it.
The convenience store down the street has its “Back in 5 minutes sign” on the door. NEW POWERADE FLAVORS???!!!!
This was just a test.
They were updating the site so that they could “flip the switch” at a later time. Nothing changed for us, but something changed behind the scenes.
Guess we’ll all have to wait and see.
New prices on Cinema Displays
No, those are the updated prices from WWDC
Watcher, that was my thought too. Can’t someone use their source code skills to tell us what happened? Some zealt here must have the apple store source code memorized by now.
store back up, what’s new?
Thank you Dennis – that was funny!
all you people sitting watching the store are morons!
Cant remember where I read it today, but the Apple Mac displays were predicted to have soon have VESA compliant mounting. I dont think they were optional before… were they…? Anyone?
Extracted from: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/0.RSLID?mco=9F8FBAD3&nclm=AppleDisplays
“VESA-compliant Mounting
Enjoy the flexibility to place your display anywhere and adjust it effortlessly. The optional VESA mount lets you choose any VESA-compliant mounting solution: put it in a kiosk, mount it on a wall, swivel it around via an articulating arm and more.”
Does SJ have a sick and twisted sense of humor that with a single virtual post-it saying “we’ll be back” he can cause people world wide to stop and wait and then search their website for changes?
No obvious changes to any products at this time and it’s back up.
The Cinema Displays have always had VESA mounting. Face it people, there is nothing new to see today!!!
Psyche!
Hey it’s too early for April Fools again!
probably just getting ready so they can just flip the switch next week
Probably a dry run, I doubt they have loaded content for next week, it would be too easy for someone to accidently show the new stuff, and steve would then have to execute them.
They’re just watching sites like this go crazy. I can just see the sysadmin sitting back in Cupertino laughing at all of us.
Back to school prank.
Methinks just system upgrades and maintinence for next weeks big announcements.
When was the last time Apple actually introduced something new? Must be years ago now…
just mt tots… only apple can make so many people do silly things like going crazy when their website is offline for short period of time… ha…
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
and i’m one of them!!! been visiting the store quite a few times now… it defies logic, but hey, who needs logic when we’re having so much fun
you’re the man steve…
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Daddy wants a new 17 MacBook Pro core 2 duo
HA HAHAHAHA
Fooled you.
I want Mac news hourly.Where is all the Mac news?…
iPod promo extended through the 16th…?
Think it was slated to expire today.
That’s all I can tell.
MW=long
Been a LONG time since any iPod updates!
I LOVE APPLE. GO GO GO ALEY ALEY ALEY!
imac’s are now listed as Core Duo. Thought that’s what everybody’s been waiting for.
I need an external iSight camera. Yesterday they were missing from the US and UK stores. Last week whe I was in the US, the Orlando and Tampa Apple stores had none in stock and didn’t know when they would have them back in stock. The US store now states they will be available in October. They are still missing form the UK store
It’s Steve, he’s just screwing with us.
I’m going to lunch now. Please alert the media. Thanks.
Where is Ampar going to lunch?
I’m back. Got southern U.S. barbecue. They didn’t have new iPods.
I wonder what the spike of traffic looked like on Apple’s site during this time frame.
MDN Magic Word: stay
As in: Stay tuned for Apple’s big announcement.
The reason why iSight cameras were withdrawn from European distribution some time ago is that they contain materials that are considered hazardous when carelessly disposed of.
I gather that until recently, iSights were still sold in countries that don’t have much of an awareness of environmental issues.
“Who unplugged the cord?”
“Wasn’t me.”
“How long has this thing been down anyhow?”
“I dunno.”
“Plug it now man, c’mon. Steve’s gonna flip, man!”
“OK, OK. Settle down, will ya.”
(pause. click)
“Maybe no one noticed.”
“Yeah, I bet no one noticed. Hey, what you bring for lunch?”
iMacs are indeed now CORE 2 DUO!
Too bad I bought one of the Core Duo ones. (Although it seems even faster than my Dual 2 Ghz G5)
