Upcoming Announcement?

I know I've heard a ton about an upcoming announcement this Saturday (April 1st) but is it still a rumor, or has that press conference been officially stated?

Still a rumor as far as I know. No invetations have been send out from apple. Again that is as far as I know.

Keeps fingers crossed for an Apple event.

oh no! Does this mean that its highly unlikely thta Apple will indeed hold a press conference soon (this Saturday) or have they been known to surprise people with very sudden press conferences/announcements?

[drumpat01]

usually they are announced at least a week in advanced. I heard rumor last week that they may release products with out a media event this time since the last one was kind of....um....lame.

Usually Apple gives about a weeks notice. I think if there is an event on Saturday we will hear about it today.

Of course there may be delays for a number of reasons:
The Beatles Deal -= Are Apple waiting to see if they can get The Beatles onto iTunes?
There are no products :D ;) :eek: :(
Apple's having a party on the 1st and don't want to ruin it by sharing with us all :D
Apple's holding the event on a tuesday (as per normal) so they still have a bit of leeway
There is no event; the products just appear on Apple.com popping out of a big birthday cake wearing a thong...:o

I eagerly await any news!

Uber

maybe Apple is holding off new products due to poorer than expected Intel Mac sale?

give me a stand-alone front row and a refreshed iSight and i will be v happy

I'm not sure which one I want more, haha. I really wish they'd at least announce the press conference soon! I'm holding off on buying a MBP until then! ahhhh

I'm not sure how one could class the Intel Mac sales as "poorer than expected", when my direct experience as a reseller tells me that nobody wants to buy the old PowerPC stuff I have hanging around, but insists on the Intel stuff, instead.

I honestly wouldn't expect any sort of new products to show up directly on April 1. There may be new stuff next week, however.

As a final thought, does this really belong on the Help forum?

Yeah. New MacBook's next Tuesday!:)

Yeah. New MacBook's next Tuesday!:)

ahh... perhaps another week of anxiety. I've sold my current powerbook and I'm shipping it out tomorrow, so I'll be without a powerhouse laptop till I get the MBP!!
(I still have a g4 ibook that the school lends all the teachers to hold me off)

It has been dissapointingly quiet. I was hoping for something
