Gruber: Apple to release new Multi-Touch Trackpad for Desktop Macs Tomorrow

[Compile 'em all]

Dan Lyons Apparently Thinks Yours Truly Hasn’t Heard About the Redesigned Plastic MacBooks, Redesigned (‘Impressive’) iMacs, Updated Minis (Including One That Ships With Mac OS X Server), the Multi-Touch Magic Mouse, and, as the Wildcard I’m-Not-Sure-I-Really-Believe-It-Myself Out-There Rumor, Maybe Even Some Sort of Mentioned-Nowhere-Else-But-in-This-Very-Headline Multi-Touch Trackpad Gadget for Desktop Macs That Apple Is Set to Release Tomorrow Morning.

that link takes me to a page with the identical link which takes me to a blog that does nothing for me:cool:

heres what it results in with no basis behind any claims

Can't tell you what, obviously. But there's something brewing. Gruber doesn't know about it, but the people we care about are being briefed in advance. Stay close to your Mac or iPhone, and have your credit card ready.

[hobbbz]

Gruber knows his stuff.

A multi-touch trackpad device for desktop users would be great! I hope it's true, but like Gruber, I won't believe it until I see it either. :p

Ha they have to rename it magic mouse?

I don’t see that happening.

[NT1440]

I don’t see that happening.

The mighty mouse name was just awarded to a different company, apple can't use it.

[irmongoose]

Gruber's been wrong before, though. But he definitely has gotten a lot right before, as well. I'm excited.

Dan Lyons chiming in can't be a horrible sign, either.

minnie mouse anyone? okay lame joke.. :o

If all we get is new minis tomorrow I will be happy :)

[katyoshi]

You guys are all mac meat heads! haha so am I as I am craving for the new macs though I just bought my MBP in July 2009. :D

[katyoshi]

They're gonna call it mac mouse.

[tofagerl]

The mighty mouse name was just awarded to a different company, apple can't use it.

Didn't they already license that name from someone?

[iMacmatician]

Interesting, a multi-touch trackpad in addition to a multi-touch mouse. If true, looks like Apple is really pushing multi-touch on the pointing device.

At least it's more evidence for an imminent Mac update...

[bbydon]

They liscense it from CBS, who gave up the computer mouse trademark.

Fun bit of reading for you guys. :)

[Fozzybadfeet]

I'm excited. I cannot wait!

Engadget is reporting new imacs, macbooks, new multitouch"Magic Mouse", and a new multitouch trackpad device will be released TOMORROW OCTOBER 20th 2009!!! http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/apple-to-introduce-host-of-new-machines-new-multitouch-input-de/

[Scippy]

I'll believe it when it happens. :eek:

[brendu]

been expecting this one, been waiting for it to get a new wireless keyboard and hopefully multitouch trackpad.

[Dont Hurt Me]

Well there we have it, now can someone tell us about the GPU's they will be using?:apple:

[acurafan]

hey apple, are you gonna include a kb/mouse on the mini finally? - you cheapskates. no wonder apple's record earning, fanboi's were happily robbed left and right. :p

hope new mouse is WAAY better then the last mouse.

[TheSilencer]

As BSN reported Apple bought RV770 chips (http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/10/14/amd-shortage-apple-empties-amd-stock2c-buys-all-4800-series-cards.aspx) from AMD. This means we will see Radeon HD4850 and maybe HD4870 graphics card and maybe a return to INTEL chipsets instead of nVidia ones.

[Le Big Mac]

Mac mini server?

That's intriguing. Yes, I know you can run server on a mini, but a bundled, lower price would be tasty. As would the likelihood it would be more consumer oriented.

I prefer nVidia chips.

so mainly like iTunes and iPhoto serving? No fancy Directory stuff?

no, like server utility for IT guys, not consumers.

This is very exciting. I'm curious to see how thin the iMac's will be. I'm guessing 2 inches?

Slimmer? Are you looking for a space heater too? Any slimmer and they won't cool well enough.

Yeah that might not be a good thing after all, i have no idea how they will look like, but they could be cheaper.

[EndlessMac]

It would be good timing if it was announced tomorrow or Wednesday because that would be before Window's announcement. ;)

I love how 9to5 says Apple "nixed" the release. Either they release or they don't, they don't withhold something because a bunch of goobers online are spending the day/night speculating about what is about to drop.

9to5 will publish anything. Fool has no idea what he's doing.
