Apple Event for September 9th?

They've been leaking proof for months!
... that's ridiculous if they are leaving obtuse clues for people in their ads for months.
The last Tuesday 9th was October 2007.
iPhones have always been pictured with the date as Tuesday 9th. Unfortunately it's referring to Tuesday 9th January 2007, the day they first showed the iPhone to the world.
Has anyone thought about Snow leopard 10.6. Could they be releasing so many new computer products at this event. Because they will all be running snow leopard? Or maybe because the hardware will be fully optimized to run snow leopard when it comes out.
I hope that blu-ray becomes a standard option. Or at least a CTO option.
Any Developers out there wanna chime in on whether or not apple could of already completed snow leopard? After all they did surprise us with the intel switch. I mean osx was already coded for intel.

I'm more and more starting to be inclined that we will see two special events.
one on the 9th of September for iPods and other stuff relating iPods/iPhones.
And one on the 26th of September or 7th of October for MacBooks/MacBooks Pro.
I don't see it all happening in one event. I might be wrong but I haven't seen a special event yet where they introduced computers and iPods side by side.
Even if they did choose too do it in one single event. I would find such action to be in total lack of public safety. Just think of all the drool that will be spilled, I foresee a lot of dehydrated people..
So incase they do, bottle-up people we'll be needing it

Snow Leopard is not due until some time next year. There is no reason it will not run on all of the Intel machines.
I believe there is still debate over whether or not Power PC support will be dropped or not.
Snow Leopard won't be released until around June 2009. I can see another preview at MWSF 2009, maybe with a few surface level features (like a GUI change) to entice users to buy it.
More likely, and fits in with the H.264 chips and that stuff.
I'm not a developer, but AFAIK so far there's only been one developer build of Snow Leopard (10A96)
Shouldn't the bottom and top of the screen be the other way? That way seems backwards...
Isn't that the way the iPod touches go, or is it either way you flip it.
The 2.0 update allowed it to be either way now.
If Apple adds an Accelerometer to the Nano, which they likely will if the design is what we have been hearing, then it will likely work either way as well.
Hey people chill out
I'm not saying it is impossible, I'm just saying Apple wouldn't do it cause the Macbook Pro sales would almost die
A lot of people buy the MBP just for the bigger screen and the metal.
So, I know that all the rands offer 15 inches laptop for 1000$( even less)
but that's not Apple case.
And for the 18 inches ... Apple never jump on new technologies like this one
They wait and then if they see that it has potential, then they adopt it
I also don't see iWork and iLife until January, but September would be exactly a year since the last release. Which is fine by me if it'll garner more resources for Apple to make them great releases post iPhone 2 frenzy.
Since Apple's enterprise market share is increasing, I for one would like to see an iWork for Windows (at least a viewer). I work in a mixed platform environment where we have a lot of docs in Word format and, while I could convince the powers that be that they be converted into another format, it would need to be something that is equally editable on Windows and Mac (extra points for Linux). I've long been a proponent of ODF, but Microsoft owns the office world, sadly.
Being able to save natively in other formats would be a great thing, but I also don't see this happening. It's theoretically possible though. Since Microsoft finally released a lot of the spec for the old binary .doc format and .docx is openly available. Again though, I'd much prefer OpenDocument.

September would be a good time of year to release iLife 09, as it's the student buying season, but then again, Apple isn't exactly famous for being timely. More likely than not they'll miss the back to school crowd and lose sales, and it'll be out in Jan.

That is the most gorgeous computer I have ever seen. Would love to see Apple take some cues and put this design to the Air.
At least we know when the 2.1 iPhone/iTouch firmware will be released, likely sans 3rd party pushing and background pushing. Personally, I don't really need all of those "pushy" features that Apple had originally planed for 2.1. What I think everyone needs, however, is stability (and for the 3G users out there, a connection bandwidth bug fix). The iPhone 3G is turning into a PR nightmare for Apple, so bug fixes cannot come fast enough.
I do like the Nano mockup above--nice rending job! If Apple could throw in a high-DPI 480*320 screen, it would certainly help the nano in terms of video playback. Of course, a lot of people will claim the new nano design is "Zuney," but if it works, it works. I doubt that Apple will put an accelerometer and the iPhone OS on the nano, however. That would require a touch digitizer and a crystal screen (rather than a plastic one). I bet the video display will simply turn sideways when the user plays a video; music will retain the portrait orientation. And I also don't know if the MBP will be super-thin like the Air, considering the massive amount of heat GPUs put out, there needs to be space for lots of fans (but again, it is a pretty looking render). If it were super thin, Apple would have to ditch the GPU entirely and go with (blegh!) the X3100 graphics deccelerator.

aaaa, that nano's amazing, I'll take one. Apple, please make september 9th a day to remember.
