There have been no shortage of pundits who are going on record with what Steve Jobs' big keynote will share with the world. I'm throwing my hat in the ring (and I don't have trusted sources deep within the brain-trust at Apple.) My information is based on a recent trip to Costco.
Costco has a habit of helping brand-name marketers clear out some extra inventory. Polo, Liz Claiborne, Lucky, Joseph Abboud are just a few 'top-shelf' brands you see on the familiar tables at Costco.
Well...Apple joined those ranks recently. You can now find discounted Video ipods, as well as fancy pink, white and black Nanos stacked up unceremoniously like 10 lb. packages of turkey-jerky or plastic-encased [strong as steel] USPS stamps and Disneyland Park-hopper passes. What's all this mean?
Steve Jobs will announce an upgrade to the ipod line-up that will make these two models obsolete ... or at the very least force the MSRP down $100/$200. That's it. My money is down and the roulette wheel spins...
UPDATE ON PUNDITRY : Valleywag provides the most comprehensive list. [And no mention of Nano's or Video iPods...Looks like Dogballs stands alone.]
