6 p.m. laugh?

[DanUC6]

I just watched the keynote and especially the part with 6 p.m. and to me it is a joke. I believe there is no seriousness in it at all. Who says the exact time anyway. It will be out 29th in the morning!!!

Steve jobs said, "it comes out at 6:00 in the evening, I THINK"
So not certain, hopefully it will be eastern that way it will be 3:00 my time :P.
But Apple is pacific, so a 9:00 p.m. realse east coast?? I dont think so.

I just watched it. A few guys in the crowd thought it was a joke but jobs seemed to be serious to me.

Also another guy called an apple store (in another thread) and one of the workers at the store confirmed the 6pm release.

Its pretty obvious apple is pulling out all the stops to get this out in june like they originally said they would. If that means shipping in the early morning, receiving at the stores in the afternoon and selling it in the evening all on the last business day of june, that's what they are gonna do.

I still think it was a joke.

Setting a time is just bogus and I think it was just another of Steve Job's feelers he throws out there. What was the last product ever that had a time set other than when they opened???

I think it was just a weak attempt at humor.

Could not agree more col. That thing will be in my hands on my couch at 6 p.m. I guess that is what Steve Jobs said about "shipping".

[everythingiphone123]

that was an idiotic thing to say. nuff said.

I just watched the keynote and he specifically said that it would ship on the 29th and go on sale at 6PM. Very strange.
