An 11am PST Media event from Apple is expected to bring software announcements today at the National Association of Broadcasters.

Coverage for the event is limited. At present there appear to be two sources for the event.

Apple's booths at NAB are reportedly covered with black sheets as well as covered banners.

We will continue to update this story to reflect the latest information.

Most likely something is new. Can't wait to hear what it is.

PLEASE LET NEW POWERMACS BE COVERED UP!!!

Ambrose Chapel · Apr 17, 2005, 02:02 PM

hope it's a nice mix of hardware and software

FlyNolJ · Apr 17, 2005, 02:02 PM

I think this'll be the event for the new Powermacs to debut, dual-core an' all. Apple is so classy, "black sheets and banners."

aafuss1 · Apr 17, 2005, 02:03 PM

It's being presented by Rob Schoeben (according to the French live coverage blog)

My prediction:
Software only.
New PowerMacs tomorrow... no dual core.

Fourbin · Apr 17, 2005, 02:13 PM

I just went to the Apple Store order status page and it says the store is down for a scheduled maintenance. Maybe getting ready for some new products?

It's beyond forever now! Not loading at all.

So do the black sheets look like they're covering powerbook sized objects or powermac sized objects?

FlyNolJ · Apr 17, 2005, 02:16 PM

It's gotta be dual core, Apple would be silly to have not achieved it over 8 months.

fedora · Apr 17, 2005, 02:16 PM

uk store down

jwhitnah · Apr 17, 2005, 02:18 PM

Does anyone else feel a little embarrassed staring at a computer screen on a Sunday?
