So what does this mean? Delays or cancellations of new and/or revised products?

I think it means that whatever is going to be announced tomorrow is going to be BIG.

Jobs health reasons?

One year there was a storm that delayed the train Bruxelles (Belgium) to Paris.
Next year I had an important work meeting the day of the key note
Following year Steve was not present at the key note.
This year the key note is cancelled...

I think I will never manage to see one...

PS: Maybe in San Francisco or Tokyo ? But I doubt my wife will aprouve that

More than likely a change in planning.

Yeah, but why no keynote at all? That's the question.

I guess we'll have to see what happens tomorrow. If they show all KINDS of new stuff at once then we can assume they just moved everything up.

If it's just the phone...well then who knows what's up?

I doubt it. If it were health reasons, he'd stay in California. The report says he's going to Paris, just not giving the Keynote.

Your choice of wording is a bit sensationalistic - especially with regards to last year. I don't know if not doing a keynote because you are recovering from major surgery would be considered as "backing out" by most.

I guess the event of wednesday was so overhyped that Steve was afraid it would be dissapointing. Even the newspapers write about the itunes phone as if it was already announced, with details from the rumoursites.

So he cancelled the keynote and will announce the real goodies tomorrow too. That way he will still WOW the audience.

Stupid move to be so arrogant in the invitation for the 7th in the first place, and now the Europeans have to miss out on this event again!

This sucks! Not you guys M.O.--uncle Steve... you bastard!

It's funny how you don't know the actual events that caused Steve not to give a Keynote (even though Apple never said he would), but are so eager to blame them anyway.

Oh, shut the hell up. When did the big Steve ever promise you a keynote? Where do you get off feeling "entitled" to a keynote Apple never announced?

Living in France, I would have taken a day out to go to Paris, see Steve at the Keynote, and then visit the expo. Whithout any Keynote, I think that I will not visit Apple Expo at all. Many friends feel the same. New products ? We will have all the informations online. I was at the Keynote last year, and even without Mr Jobs it was a real pleasure, a great experience, they are very good for this kind of event, they manage to create passion. Of course I do not know Mr Jobs' reason for cancelling the Keynote, but I think that it would have been respectful for hundreds of people who have booked train and sometimes hotel for months, to eiher take the decision much earlier, either give a reason. Apple for a long time has survived thanks to fan customers, and even if I understand that they want to enlarge their market, and that Apple is not a religion, I think that they could be a little bit more respectful, or at least polite. It sounds like "F... you all, you've planned everything, we do not care."

Never announced ? As a last year's Keynote attendee, I received announcement months ago and have registered online in June !

A lot of Mac lovers wait for these keynotes from Steve J and it's frustrating to see the cancellation. Since we generally try to guess what will be announced (especially the "one more thing") I guess it's time to start guessing the reason for the cancellation. I'll put money on a failure in the delivery of a processor.

At least we'll have the press conferences.

quit crying already... geez laweez... no, there is no keynote at the paris expo, pity, steve's speeches are usually quite interesting... however, it's not worth getting all riled up over... the show will still be insanely great, no doubt, and they may still announce products, just maybe not enough to warrant an entire speech... bear in mind that those keynotes take a lot of work to produce, with the a/v systems and housing all of the attendees in a room large enough, so maybe after tomorrow's big event there won't be enough news left to be worth all of that effort... just wait till tomorrow is over, and if tomorrow disappoints, then you have cause to piss and moan...

if its the suggested itunes chip phone that downloads wireless$1.99 a pop then this would be truly disappointing... BUT... if its an ipod phone with all the ipod merits synced to cell phone options +/- adjunctive video options
(2 way video would blow the socks off the planet so personally not grandiosely expecting) then apple will be rewriting meaning of cell phone as we knew it. To me this is the only reasonable announcement--go Apple Go
you have always been best by aeons---the rest of the industry should be ashamed of their piracy that Apple no longer just gives up for grabs.

You received notice from a tradeshow vendor - not Apple.
Apple always puts out press releases to announce Stevenotes.
No press release was put out announcing a keynote.
You believed a tradeshow vendor, that's as bad as a used car salesman.

That's a good one <br><a href="http://www.my-ultimatebet.com/tigergaming/" title="tigergaming">tigergaming</a>
