Apple Expo Paris Keynote

[MacRumors]

Apple Expo (http://www.apple-expo.com/uk/index.nclk?home=gp) starts in just a few hours (4AM EDT, 10AM CET, 1AM PDT) in Paris, France.

Apple will not be streaming Steve Jobs' keynote speech live, but historically has provided an archived stream on their website on the following day.

There is still a small chance MacRumors will be able to provide live updates, but this will depend on the availability of the satellite feed.

If you are aware of other sources for live updates, please submit them (http://www.macrumors.com/submit.php3).

[DreaminDirector]

come on MacRumors. I'll be up at 4 AM waiting and watching...

[cbrantly]

MacNN says to "stay tuned for coverage" of the keynote, but they do not say if it will be live coverage or not. Anyone know where to see live coverage?

Vive le Powerbook du 17 Inch.

(How's my pseudofrench?)

[xtekdiver]

Anyone know a site that will be giving live updates?

[windwaves]

It is 12am here in NYC and I am going to bed ! It will be interesting to wake up tomorrow morning and see what old Apple has brought to us .... I would be in the mood for some cool gadgets.

not bad at all ! a part from the "du" :)
But it looks like there won't be much exciting coming from the powerbook. Clearly, exciting for me would be only a G5 and according to most this is unlikely for the PB's now.

Ditto, and it is only 11pm here. :D I will just leave my Laptop open and waiting on MacRumors for when I wake up. ;)

[Mineral]

I say we get a chat room going on AIM/iChat...

I'll start it.

It is 11am. I am in bed with iBook (talk about pathetic). I cannot wait. But alas I have to teach in the AM. To sleep I go.

(Hey honey you awake, I am amorous I have been talking powerbooks all night!.... zzzzzzzzzzzz)

[beefcake]

I have to get up for an 8 am class (EST) so hopefully Apple will have updated the website by then. Though, it doesn't really matter, my 50-day-old TiBook is more than enough for me :)

[tuc]

It probably means nothing, but http://www.apple.com/OrderStatus is down now, even though it worked this afternoon.

My browser's (Mozilla Firebird 0.6) status bars freezes on "waiting for store.apple.com..." for a while, then eventually I get "Server Error: Backend Invalid Response Error."

The rest of the store pages seem to be working.

[evolu]

I think this is such an exciting update because there are a lot of Windozers interested in seeing what's next (after the G5 PMs). So far I think Apple has been pretty successful with their switch campaign, no?

All that aside - I wanna see G5 PBs! And iPod gear!

I'm switching so they're doing something right. :D

[Stella]

Only three more hours until the 0.5" thick, 15.4" screen, PB Dual G5 @ 2.5Ghz, 2 gigs of ram, latest 128 meg Radeon card... shipping with... 64 bit OSX 10.3 and ... Half Life 2.

Finally a keynote that us aussies don't have to get up at 4am to see.

Will be 6pm here.

I've been waiting for a good Powerbook update for the longest time, but haven't we all. I'm going to bed, but I'm going to roll over first thing in the morning and check out my hiptop to see what happened :)

And, Linux folks. Though, I suspect I'll order mine from Terrasoft with it configured to dual boot OS X and Linux, just in case.

All my Linux and BSD buddies swear by OS X, but I'm still a little lost on my mom's iMac.

No one can deny the hardware kicks butt, though.

[dho]

Lets hope I get a prize for staying up til ~2:30, I think dual g5 alubooks should do the trick:D




The challenge will be getting enough caffine and sugar to stay awake in class tomorow.:rolleyes:

[tomthuynh]

Wow, no webcast ? I wanted to stay up to watch it. I configured QT6 for it too. Oh well. I guess I can sleep early.

ive been an ardent dis-believer in a surprise g5 pb update for months now. but since a few days ago, for some reason, my skeptisism has been tweaked hard. its been an eternity for the 15 update, and i think its way outdated - even if only comparing it to apples other models. bringing it up to date with the other "current" models seem very un-apple like. while not an absolute dissappointment, now it would seem like more of a surprise if the updates were minor speed bumps, al chassis, etc. and not a "major" update. but im basing this solely on time. it would "appear" that the engineers, manufactures, etc. have now had enough time to produce, or at least announce a g5 pb lineup. then again, mwsf is what... 5 months away... say it aint so.

patience is a virtue.....patience is a virtue....

[joed]

I reckon the Apple stores will be updated all at once.

They usually do. Or pretty close to each other anyway.


James.

[chuckzee]

powerbook 15in are shipping in 6-8 days!


its gotta be a g5! Apple wouldn't wait this long to to have a crappy update to the bread and butter of their laptops. I believe they worked on the motherboard concurrently with the desktops, and now (or very very soon) it is ready!

[MCPeck]

OMG OMG OMG

If the new 15" come out at the keynote, I will be an official SWITCHER !!!!!!!

Yay for me and my very first Mac !!!! :D




(i know this post is meaningless, but i'm that excited to finally switch!)

[stoid]

I know all of us are hoping for G5 PBooks, but I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet, we've all been patient so far, no need to get all fired up at the last minute so that instead of being wowed, we're all let down.


still wondering how to join a chat room from windows aim...

[longlivepenguin]

Im still sitting here with my G3, still waiting for an update to the 15" PB. Judging by all of the posts I am reading here, I believe I am not the only one waiting in grave anticipation.

I predict wide spread riots if Jobs doesn't unveil at the least an updated G4 15" PB

Please Steve! I have been wanting to upgrade for months now. PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW POWERBOOK DAMNIT! :)

Alas, with so many folks waiting, I suspect we'll still be waiting months to receive our new 15" PBs, even if they do announce them.

[machem]

15" 1GHz Powerbooks have been showing 5-7 day waits at AppleStore US for the past 24 hours or so, so that grab from the French(?) AS doesn't mean anything to me. Check the other thread where someone reports an Apple Store in the South has the new low-end 15" w/ 1Ghz.

My story for staying up all Night until 4-5am EST

I am an Artist
a company wanted to do a 16 month calendar using my art and story to give out to clients

as part of my pay I got a 17" PB

I asked them to wait until Sept 20th but they would not

so I got the 17" on Friday with extra ram... the extra ram was bad not my PB is fried... monday morning called Apple Care they are sending me a box later today Tuesday to send it in for Repair...

Talked to the company I did the project with and they are finding out if they should just replace it for me they told me to hold off on sending it to Apple they may want to replace it, they need to get that approved.

If they do want to replace it, I hope I can upgrade to whatever Paris brings this morning.

the 17" PB is the most beautiful thing I've ever had if it was not for the bad ram I would be up waiting to see what the update is but would never trade my baby in. :(

[stoid]

sooo, if only the 15 and 17 inchers get an update, will the 12 inch get a price drop??

[Daveman Deluxe]

To join a chat from AIM, simply invite yourself to the chat.

Novel concept, eh?

Could be, but there seems to be the possibility of a 12" update too. My sales rep at PC Mall who receives their stock from Ingram Micro has told me that there are very few of all PB's in the pipeline. Also I think this is a posibility because there were no PB's visable at the Apple area in the Expo pics in the previous thread.

Guess we have to wait and see.

2 hours and 30 min to go...

This should be in the linux/unix switchers FAQ.

[coumerelli]

now, is it me, or is the text in the buttons on the menu bar on apple.com a little different then I remember? I noticed first about an hour ago. I dunno. :rolleyes:

edit: more in the sub-menu than the 'store, iTunes, .mac' buttons

To the contrary (au contraire). Your admitdedly silly post is the central purpose of Apple Computer Inc. these days. You sir, represent their strongest success example.

I'm reading new graphics in the AppleStore layout for the Apple Canada web site ---
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore/

Can't pick out the difference by eye because I haven't looked since a couple of days ago, but I think maybe the font has changed and I can guarantee that the mistake in the imac/eMac title line didn't used to be there (follow the link above and you'll see that the graphics don't line up right).

Oh. I'll shut up, then.:(

[tribalogical]

The most telling thing from those photos of the expo is that all the portables are covered and guarded... at the least, we're getting *something* on that front....

I'm prepared to be surprised... but in what way? who knows. There were no 'leaks' this time around....

It would fall rather flat if it was simply a minor speed-bump and "aluminization" of the 15"... no, my gut (and my hope!) tells me something else more spectacular is in the works....

Apple has declared the European market a high priority... so to unveil major news there would follow that....


the time is ripe........ ooh, la la! only 90 minutes to go! :)

Yeah, the page looks good, but will there be content there (um... like the stream...) in 86 minutes?

[nagromme]

For the record, Apple WOULD wait this long for just a minor G4 update... or even longer than Apple Expo. They would... if they HAD to. And thanks to Motorola, that may be true.

I do expect new PowerBooks, and I think they'll be great choices. I do NOT expect anything spectacular--except that I'm still very excited about Panther!

I'd love a G5 PB but getting my hopes up would be pointless.

(And realize that even minor updates would still be hidden by black, if they are to be announced by Steve.)

Man I hope you are correct. I've been driving my wife nuts! She wants somthing special more than I do now. Just to shut me up. And I think she will pay wich is even better!!!

[tribalogical]

well, like nagromme said (wisely), we shouldn't pointlessly get our hopes up too high...

preventing "dashed hopes, even on good news" syndrome....

Still it's obvious that at least something new is under wraps there...

I've been waiting to see how the new 15" evolves (" 12" is too small, 17" is too big, the 15" is ju-ust right..." -- a modern day Goldilocks?) to decide on going with that, or grabbing a (last remaining?) TiBook... the graphics card will decide a lot of that for me (heard the Nvidia card is lacking)...

...but, well, knowing myself, once I see the new ones, I'm probably done for... :)

I'd settle for a 1.2 to 1.4Ghz *single* G5 pb....

I'm quite dissapointed with the Bluetooth mouse, especially. They keyboard is ok though, other than the fact that it's essentially an eMac keyboard. The battery life on both (especially the keyboard) is pretty impressive. I was hoping for at least a 2 button scrolling mouse, but no, Apple won't think different about their mouse for once.

I'll be sticking with my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse, and probably keyboard too.

[neonart]

Yeah, the mouse is "crap for crap".

I would jump all over an Apple wireless mouse with 2 buttons and a scroll wheel.

The reason they don't do it- to keep 3rd party manufacturers making products, including mice.

[Porshuh944turbo]

I would jump all over an Apple wireless mouse with 2 buttons and a scroll wheel. why make something that already exists????? if you don't like one-button, get the other brands.. simple.....



i just placed order for a 15" 1.25 with the upgraded 80gb (5400RPM) hard drive.....

If apple makes a product- It's ussually better (or functions with less headaches) than a third party product. Thats why I would prefer to buy an Apple product.

Take the iPod and iSight as examples.

But your right- third party will always have what we need and it's good to support them as well.

Originally posted by Porshuh944turbo

Why? Because theres only one other brand that makes a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard...Microsoft! And there's very little support for it on Macs (the extra buttons don't work). Usually Apple does a better job at these kinds of things, except when it comes to mice and sometimes keyboards.
