Apple Event for September 9th?

How do you sell this to those who are currently considering the 17" 1920x1200 model? Fewer pixels in a larger case?

That's what I was thinking...It's all very well giving people a larger screen but using the same/less pixels in a larger screen will make everything look bigger and therefore give less work space.

I can't see this happening on pro laptops to be honest.

It definitely says "Mac OS X tablet" to me. But it's totally fake if you ask me (and many posters in that thread).

That's definitely a problem. Apple did transition from 15.2" 1440·960 to 15.4" 1440·900 with the first MacBook Pro, but then at least there was a 17" 1680·1050 notebook.
 
Thank you for the quoted AppleInsider post, imacmatician. That looks real enough to me, though I haven't had any experience with spotting fakes. The only way that it looks anywhere close to real to me is the fact that the invitation has directions to Moscone West (even though everybody & their sister knows where Moscone West is these days).

Also, I think what this will mean is something to do with music (maybe even MacBooks with multi-touch trackpads & LED-backlit screens). The song that comes to my mind with the slogan "Can You Feel It?" is "C*m On Feel The Noize" by Quiet Riot. :D

Yeh, definatly a fake. I find it annoying that people waste their own time creating things like that just to waste other people's time.

At least we should have the legit invites out on Tuesday.
 
The font used, the date being in a spot that has too little contrast making the date hard to read, the subtitle text not anti-aliased. Yeah, I'd call it a fake.

Haptic (sp?) touch in new iPhone firmware?

Or maybe this solves the keyboardproblem (chicklets vs non-chicklets) and all keyboards will be haptic keyboards. And thus you can have a full glass layer with haptic keys and marked touchpad... Explaining the glass trackpad rumor. :)

Would be fun (and look good) but it would take some time to get used to I think.

Same kind of transition of the 15" PowerBook G4 to 15" MacBook Pro (from 1440x960 to 1440x900). I guess we have to just live with it.
 
If you look at the apple in the first pic, you can tell the person just used paint or something... theres a black box around it that contrasts with the pink/purple in the background. :rolleyes:

Yup. Until the 17" MacBook Pro gets 2560*1440 that is. :D

...wait a minute, did I just mention high resolutions on a Mac? :rolleyes:

Same here, just because it took Apple over 5 years after the first widescreen PowerBook G4 to transition widescreen to the iBook/MacBook.
 
What about the iMacs and Cinema Displays? Do you see them going to 16:9 ratio this year? Also, they are going to increase in size as well if they move to 16:9 ratio?

I do mean the 18" MacBook Pro. And I don't think there's such a panel, but I'm sure there will be one sometime in the future.

I know acer makes an 18" model. They are the only ones out there and they are hard to find. I think you need to order on line. but there are 16" models. and the 16" models look great. More streamline then a 17". Plus you dont loose that much space not enough to gripe over... May need time getting used to... but it will someday become standard just like 16:10 screens have the past few years
 
Ah yeah, that's what I meant.

When Tuesday rolls around and there's nothing, not even a new rumor, it's gunna hurt.
