Wishlist for Apple’s September 9 event

September 1st, 2009 · 2 Comments · Technology

Its all official now, like every year, Apple will be holding an event for Ipods on September 9, 2009.

So, like all die hard Apple fans, I have come up with a wishlist, and I present it to you, without wasting any more time:

1. Steve Jobs: The keynote should be delivered by Steve Jobs! I am pretty sure no one can contest that Steve Jobs adds a whole degree or two of awesomeness to the whole event. He has missed way too many keynotes due to health reasons. Now that he’s back, we want him back on the stage.

2. Ipod Touch : To tell you the truth, I am not sure how much they can add to a device that’s already perfect. Still, to keep the engine running:

a) Stereo Bluetooth: It’s nothing innovative, I am not sure why Apple hasn’t added this feature to Ipod Touch! Since, they haven’t added it for so long, I highly doubt that we’ll see it this year too.

b) Sleeker version: Ipod Touch is already at the pinnacle of elegance…however, I am assuming it will shed some more fat this year, and also, add the usual things to the mix… (better battery life, may be better resolution etc. etc.)

c) Camera: I guess the word in the air is that Ipods might get a camera integrated into them this year, not really sure if that’s required, but you know, that’s always a welcome addition.

d) Better hardware, and usual bug fixes etc: Following in the footsteps of Iphone 3GS, a lot of improvements might just be internal…as in … speedier CPU, bug fixes etc. etc.

3. Ipod Nano: Again, for me, this device is already pretty close to perfection:

a) Better sound quality: Ipods have long been criticized for the average sound quality that they deliver. I am by no means an audiophile, but the difference in the sound quality between Ipod/ Sony Walkman / Sansa is fairly distinguishable.

b)  Shape: I really like the shape, and for that matter, the color options of the new Ipods. I hope Apple decides not to play with the shape much this year. ( Apple, please don’t go back to that square shape…..please)

c) Bigger, and yet better screens: Ipod Nano screens already deliver a spellbounding clarity and resolution. However, Apple has a tendency of packing more and more pixels each and every year…

The nice part is, that we’ll just have to wait for 9 more days, before the awesomeness unfolds, and the “holiday season” kicks in :)
