You can't even imagine the magnitude of dorkiness that has been going on in my house all morning since 10am. I have a chatroom open in iChat with three other apple nerds, I have my powermac on with multiple websites showing as I refresh them every minute or so, and I am blogging about my findings on my powerbook. I am a solid state of girl-repellent.
Thanks to these sites below for keeping me updated:
-----------From October 3rd---------------
AppleInsider.com is often times correct with their rumor postings. They aren't even speculating on this one though; they're flat out saying it.This is another article on the expected announcement.
And another that shows an alleged camera phone shot (above) of the actual product. Could be a photoshopped image.

FUCK APPLE! I now have gone back to the dark side of hating Apple. I flushed 350 dollars down the toilet on an Ipod that currently doesn't work. (and never will work again). I shall not buy another Ipod! Mark my words!
