Apple's New Music Device

from the here,-cheer-away dept

Since I'm being attacked by Apple fans this morning, I'll toss this one out there. Apple is getting to launch some sort of mysterious music device which is "not a Mac" next Tuesday. News.com is theorizing that the timing of this is set to take away from the Windows XP launch next Thursday. Because everyone seems to assume I'm anti-Apple or something (not even remotely true), I'll just say that I'm interested to see what they've come up with. From a device standpoint, Apple has done some pretty cool and very creative stuff, so hopefully they do "trump" Microsoft's announcement. Everyone knows what Windows XP is already, let's see what this new "non-Mac" Apple device is.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

    Home Music Server?

    I would love to see Apple do a home music server. I have all this music on my cube. I'd love a box that hooked up to my stereo, held all my music and could stream them over the LAN to my cube. Apple was the first to introduce consumer 802.11b solutions. A home server type solution would be an interesting follow up.
