Apple announced that Steve Jobs would be kicking off the WWDC Keynote on Monday, June 6th 2005 at 10am.

The five-day event which runs from June 6 - 10th is offers developers teaching sessions, Q&As, hands-on labs and more. Details available at Apple's WWDC site.

While the conference is not a consumer-oriented event, Apple has used the WWDC Keynote to launch several hardware items in the recent years. Last year's WWDC brought new LCD's, while 2003's WWDC introduced the PowerMac G5.

Add a new model Quad PowerMac (dual processor dual core) at $3500 please!

themacman · May 2, 2005, 06:01 PM

dual core g5 powerbooks!

Fredstar · May 2, 2005, 06:01 PM

Aww Steve doing his keynote on my 18th Bday, how sweet, he better make a special announcement for me.
Shame i also have a few A-level exams on my 18th as well

Daveway · May 2, 2005, 06:03 PM

Is this news? Hasn't he always done it?

My crystal balls are saying no new hardware!

NoCleverSNForMe · May 2, 2005, 06:09 PM

I honestly hope they're going to come out with the PowerBook G5.

I'm dissappointed, not because I wanted one or needed one, but because Apple was supposed to be ahead of the Windows world. They've certainly achieved this in the software area, but the hardware area is another story (i.e. the 3.0 Ghz marker was supposed to have been crossed last June).

It's going to be the two-year anniversary of the unveiling of the PowerMac G5. Let's hope they release something that will put us out on top again...after all, the iBooks are just one upgrade away from catching up with the PowerBooks.

narco · May 2, 2005, 06:09 PM

Well, what could he introduce this time? Isn't most of the line updated already, except for the eMac and iMac (I believe) but that's no place to introduce them. I'll hope for something new all together.

Fishes,
narco.

I'd rather have dual core G4's. Good performance + great battery life + low heat levels.

Deefuzz · May 2, 2005, 06:16 PM

Lets see some PB or iBook updates!

Just out of curiosity, since these aren't exactly "consumer driven" shows would the keynote that Steve gives be available on the site as the Macworld one was?

I agree, but while we're asking, why don't we ask for 2,500???

Happy B-day! Its my brothers 21st! which means that I might be at some stupid party with all my realitives

oh well, I might just have to sneak upstairs to watch it!

Rocketman · May 2, 2005, 06:28 PM

I propose he announce for later shiping the quad G5 workstation class Macs.

Dual double processor chips.

Very high I/O and HD everything installed.

I am not optimistic he will release G5 Powerbooks.

CubaTBird · May 2, 2005, 06:34 PM

i still think a powerbook g5 is a bit early.. i say powerbook g5 annouced at mwsf 06 along with new ipods this july/august...

My PowerBook gets so hot that I need to wear asbestos trousers and jeopardise my chances of fathering more children!

I agree, I don't think that they'll be using G5's in the next PowerBook.

Object-X · May 2, 2005, 06:38 PM

Tiger is such a huge deal for Apple, but they have already delivered it. So, that makes this keynote particularly interesting. What will they announce next month? I'm really looking forward to it. I think a new Powerbook is likely, but not a G5, something much better. What?

sjpetry · May 2, 2005, 06:39 PM

Can everyone stop with the G5 PowerBook.
It's not gonna happen in June.

Because they just released dual 2.3 GHz PowerMacs at $2500 last week

wdlove · May 2, 2005, 06:41 PM

The only surprise would be if Steve didn't do the Keynote. Once again the Keynote is on Monday, Keynotes used to be on Tuesday. This does allow for the exhibits being open four days, plus Monday afternoon. Will give Apple more time to show the new stuff. We can always hope for a surprise announcement with the Power Mac.

icon4x · May 2, 2005, 06:41 PM

If he announces they're working on "Lion" (10.5) due out sometime in Summer '06, I'll probably start to hate Apple.

revenuee · May 2, 2005, 06:41 PM

i'de like powerbooks that could handle HD authoring

dual core G4 could probably do it

runninmac · 06:47 PM

Yeah i will be surprised if theres new hardware in his keynote (the olny thing i could possibly see right now is new iPods) if they introduce a powerbook g5 i will crap my pants

. (well not really i will just be very surprised) and also i dont need one. I would love to see dual G4s in them so it will probobly be cooler.

opps i lied what about Jam box or what ever its called
