Since Im sure, the ability to put apps on the touch will be an upgrade will we have to pay again when its released?
 
because they are going to want to showcase how easy it is to use and they are going to want all eyes on them and the iPhone.

they will also showcase OS X 10.5.2, which i guess is going to have alot more features.

I don't think they will showcase 10.5.2.
Otherwise they will have to admit that 10.5.1 (and 10.5.0) were released to early.
 
MacBook Pro? 3G iPhone? ALUMINUM MACBOOKS!?!?!?!?!:D

The possibilities are endless :cool:

GLAVIN!!! GLAVIN!!! GLAVIN!!!

I don't think we will be seeing anything about a 3G iPhone within a month of the 16GB iPhone being released. It would just piss people off and stop any sales of the current models until the 3G one hit shelves.
 
I hope they dont release the Macbook Pros so soon, I ordered one yesterday
:mad:

Could not wait...

Cancel that order. Honestly, it is just around the corner, you should wait or you will be seriously disappointed.
 
Well let's bring this to a vote then! I definitely would like to upgrade my Mini, or add another one with better specs and give my current Mini to one of my younger children.

Damn. I just got one as a server and quiet computer for audio recording. Put that thing in a closet and you don't hear it at all. Only when doing some graphics stuff (eyeTV progressive de-interlacing). Oh well, I neede/wanted it, got it and I'm happy. Who needs CPU performance anyway? I'm happy that my Mini uses 11 Watts (!!!) when idling around. Really a winderful machine, especially with Leopard's "share screen" feature.
 
Perhaps Aperture?

If there are a lot of visual aspectes involved, it could be the release of the new Aperture version? They should be due anytime now (at least Apple it self through the Senior PM - Joe) have linked themselves the news that an update is comming.
 
What's with you guys hoping for an aluminum MB??!!

MacBook Pros have aluminum enclosures and from what I hear, wireless connectivity absolutely stinks on them.

The MacBooks are well known for the fact that they DONT have a metal enclosure and that their reception is markably better.

I think if they changed the enclosure to aluminum:

A) You'd have pissed off about crappy wireless reception
B) Normal people (not necessarily us, lol) would confuse the MBP and MB

But maybe a backlit keyboard on the MB would be nice...
 
We photographers are hoping this is Aperture 2. (possibly alongside monitors, MacBook Pro, and/or iPhone SDK)

The timing is okay, and there is that 'large number of number of visual resources'...
 
its definitely going to be for the SDK. But hopefully some good news will come for updated products such as MBPs ;)
 
Why would they need a full event JUST for the SDK's, which could easily be quietly-but noticeably-announced? I do hope for several upgrades, the most important-judging from so many folks here in the forums-is the macbook pro's long due upgrade.

Because didn't a few companies say they have access to the SDK early? They're going to announce the broad release of the SDK along with talk about a bunch of new "groundbreaking" applications that will now be available for the iPhone.

I hope that one of the apps is Blackberry Connect. iPhone + Blackberry Connect + Business rate plans = several million iPhones being sold in the next month

Yeah it's a wonderful little machine. I use our Mini in much the same way. It's in the bed-room (Wired to the Airport BS Extreme w/ GigaBit) feeding media to our AppleTV and all the rest of the Macs. It's also the DVD/CD ripping station and the computer we use for iTunes transactions.

Of all the Macs I've owned this is my favorite form factor. Long live the Mini!

While I agree with you that it doesn't make much sense for them to make an aluminum MacBook, I believe they will eventually. Why? Because of this stupid "green" nonsense. Making plastic (petroleum) products will be a thing of the past for them eventually. It's stupid...
 
I don't think that they are going to organize a whole event just for the SDK. Maybe the iPhone (3G?) will be connected to a brand-new MBP running OSX 10.5.2 :D.... that would make more sense (in every mac addict's dream).

If you think it doesn't take petroleum to process aluminum then you are kidding yourself. Anything that requires heat most likely uses gas, oil, or electricity generated by oil. Apple and everyone else isn't escaping the dependency on oil that easy.
