No....no....nooooo! Bambi analogy....
Not another 3 weeks.....!
I can't stand it (the wait) much longer....
Do you remember in Disney's Bambi, when "man" enters the meadow? Momma bird is in the grass with her little ones, repeatedly warning them:
- Listen.
- He's coming.
- Hush.
- Be quiet.
- He's coming closer.
- Be calm. Don't get excited.
- We better fly.
- No. No, don't fly.
- Whatever you do, don't fly.
- He's almost here.
- l can't stand it any longer.
Then momma bird flies into the air and is shot down by ''man"....
That's how I feel.....I'm waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting some more.....and I'm 'this' close to purchasing my MBP but all instincts tell me to wait.....wait....wait.... because if I act on impulse now and make my purchase....I'll be sorry that I did not wait...........
But-
- It's almost here.
- I can't stand it any longer................

my prediction (for what it's worth) is the announcement of the SDK and the 3G iPhone (16 and 32GB) with iChat AV built in. iPhone 2 will be available from end of march and current models will be reduced in price by $100. Price for 3G iPhone? $599 for 16gb and $699 for 32GB

don't think we will see a 32gb iphone until fall or even later. they just put in the 16, and when prices of these fall, then maybe a 32gb iphone.
I like this idea. Make it a mini WWDC, but just for iPhone. Big Stevenote, then some workshops for devs (SDK crashcourse) and some nice presentations from teh select partners who already have access to the SDK. Lotus Notes, sling? exchange support?
I agree that it's stupid. I like the plastic MacBook. I have no gripes with it. I've heard that aluminum casing dents easily. It may look nicer, but I don't consider it to be as practical.
Please don't tease me...I want one of those so bad. I love my iPhone, but I only have 300 MB left on it. I'm waiting until the next revision comes to update.
they better release the new mbp's well before the end of this month!!and PLEASE bring 10.5.2 with the new mbp's aswell.im guessing new displays since apple are out of NAB,and possibly aperture 2 and SDK
So how likely is it that the MBP updates won't be released next Tuesday as per the rumors on this forum, but actually at the end of February at this event? I mean, going from the rumors, it's not coming out until the 10.5.2 release anyway, but are Penryn and the other updates to the MBP big enough to warrant release at an event rather than an update on the web? I'm ready to switch from PC... and I've been ready with my credit card since MWSF... *sigh*
My guess is they are going to do the iPhone SDK, and hopefully Apeture 2.0.
They just released an update for iPhoto so thats off the board. Final Cut Studio just got a rev not too long ago as well. New Hardware revs are most likely out as they upgraded the appleTV back at MWSF. More then likely it will be 10.5.2 now with new CPU support making the interferace 35% faster and a whole bunch of add-ons. Hence why the (4,1) MBPs are being held as if you do a benchmark with and without it won't be that noticable. As Steve loves his BOOM moments that he didn't get to have at MWSF. So thats my visual guess.
My guess is a week before the event they release the MBP Spring 08 Model ahead of time like they did with the Mac Pro a week before MWSF (or at CES) depending on how you want to look at it.
Seriously Steve! ONE BOOM??? Come on you let the Fanboys down! I normally have to use the people on either side of me and their feet to count them all!

Take a history lesson back to the last "special event"...
1) Leather Case for Ipod
2) Ipod Hifi
Go figure...
My guess, MBP will be announced this Tuesday since penryn has finally shipped and the special event will be the following:-
1) Leather Case for MBA
2) MBA wireless speakers
Hahaha

As much as I'd like everything to be unveiled that we know Apple is working on/needs to address:
- Monitors
- Exposing users to Resolution Independence
- MacBook Pros
- Aperture 2
- Java 6
- iPhone SDK
- 3G iPhone
I don't think we will see anything that broad.
The fact we got bumped iPhone specs tells me the 3G iPhone won't be ready until summer/fall at the earliest. Maybe winter.
Monitors might be unveiled with the MacBook Pro (as you can pair the two products to make a desktop replacement), but then this is a bit of a longshot.
Aperture 2 is quite a big product in it's own right. I think it will be amazing, but I don't think Apple will want to dilute the message from the big one:
The iPhone SDK.
I think this is the big focus, but there is one more thing™.
.Mac
Remember at the D (all things digital) conference, when Steve looked Walt Mossberg in the eye and promised him .Mac would get better?
Hands up all the children in the class who thought he was referring to the .Mac Photo Gallery?
Good. No one has their hand up.
Now Apple has 3 strong products:
- iPod Touch + iPhone (or whatever you want to call this handheld wireless platform)
- Macintosh
- TV
I think they will use .Mac to bring all these together in new ways over the internet. It may just be iPod Touch + iPhone and the Macintosh to begin with. This will link in directly with the SDK information, as Apple have always been keen for developers have to integrate into .Mac on the Desktop, why not extend this to the handheld?
So my prediction in short:
iPhone SDK + .Mac
Now is the time and it makes so much sense with the launch of the third party apps to really make the most of .Mac.
This isn't an entirely original prediction as MacOSRumors seem certain something is cooking with .Mac. I am just connecting the dots.

I really hope this is new MBPs, the waiting is unbearable, it almost seems like Apple want to skip the update now and not update until March/June etc., which is crazy as most of us have (perhaps foolishly) been expecting updates for the past 2 Tuesdays...
The way I look at it, everyone knows the new MBP will be coming soon, so there is no reason to buy one right now. Til then I am happy with my current iMac. Also, congrats on making the switch.

I hope that apple NEVER makes alluminum MacBooks. Ive always hated the metal on MacBook pros and PowerBooks as they conduct electricity. I'd get a shock every time I went up to my MBP. Now that I have a MacBook I certainly don't miss that. T

I'm guessing it will be a Town Hall style meeting regarding the SDK. That's all. No 3G iPhone because people that JUST bought the 16GB one would scream for blood. I also have a feeling that the new MBP will be released before then.
