Thanks mods for changing the title so quickly. Seems some other euro stores are down ( I haven't checked) so maybe someone will petition for another change :rolleyes:

My prediction is Apple announces the imminent release of the iPhone with vibrate and slide out keyboard in the UK market right now with T-mobile (cos of their cheap flat data plan).

A body can have a dream... (and no 2-month FCC review is needed for UK phone market, just some sort of other less onerous certification).

ps it was fun reporting my own post to the mods :D

If it were product updates, surely other stores would be down?

EDIT: I really should read the whole thread before posting, idiot. :p

*Hopes for portable updates*

My prediction is almost no change. Perhaps a new special offer, perhaps a new third party product. Just like the previous Sunday closures over the last few months that I mentioned in my previous post in this thread.

I think you're probably right but could also be Mini updates. It's due an update right about .... NOW.

*Again, hopes for portable updates but seems unlikely*

hey apple, how 'bout a price drop on the 80gig iPod? €399 compared to $349 (US) is a HUUUUGE difference! (€399 is something like $520 US, making the difference $170)

I've spent about the last hour and a half refreshing the UK Apple Store page every two minutes or so. If it doesn't come back online soon, I'm going to be too tired to go to school tomorrow. Innocent children will fail their mock GCSEs because I couldn't teach them properly. They won't be able to get jobs and they'll contribute, perhaps catastrophically, to the national debt caused by the rapidly increasing amount of benefits paid-out by the government.

Come on, Apple, think of Britain's future. Just release iLife...

Would the whole site not be down if that were the case. They are not selling the iPhone yet so why close the store. They would just upload new site and we wold get it the moment it was on server.

true video iPod

Maybe they are launching the true video iPod and using europe as a testing stage before launching it in the u.s. "wake up son your crunchy nut corn flakes are ready" :eek:

The o2 online shop was also down today for a few hours.

I was hoping they would finally release the o2 XDA Zinc, which is supposed to be out any day now, and is kinda like the iPhone but with slide out keyboard and 3G and windows (!).

It's just come back up, with a few new offers, but the main change for me is that they're now saying they won't release it till march!

Sod that. I'm leaving o2 and am off to join T-mobile now and get the T-Mobile Vario II which is the exact same phone only in a neat RedTomato style red colour :)

It'll keep me going till the next few iPhone models come out.

It has to be something important. Don't think it'll be the iPhone, there's still a long way, plus the iPhone is still only a US sort of thing , IMO.

2ghz Mac Mini!

I find it funny how many of you guys are crying out for iLife and iWorks. Like do you use these apps every day?

Even if that's the case I can get it quicker and for less money from my favourite electronic software distributor :rolleyes:

I think they are probably adding release dates/times to airport extreme and appletv instead of just 'February'.

I do hope they hurry up, my router failed this morning and i want to buy a new airport to replace it.
