Apple NAB Media Event Announcements

NICE

Great updates apple!!! :D

Does anyone know what time we should expect updates tomorow for the PB and iBook at NAB?
Please advise. :rolleyes:
 
G5=HOT

These apps really make the G5 worth purchasing! I'm too pretty impressed of how much new stuff they introduced. xsan seems very cool, motion seems pretty hot, shake 3.5 -- hot, fcphd -- hot! also I believe dvd studio pro 3 is very welcome.

i won't be having any use for these apps, but I'm sure there will be a good market for all of them. and that's what makes apple once again so cool a company -> they're making the stuff no other could even dream of ;)

let's see what tomorrow brings...
 
Adobe

So Adobe will need to upgrade and innovate some more. Competition is good and it is alive and well in the Mac community. At some future point look for an iApp version of "Motion" to be sure. These upgrades and new products will help sell G5's. Apple is really a software company!
 
NEW DISPLAYS LEAKED ON MOTION PAGE!

Take a look at the powermac G5 picture on Motion's site. The display's stand at the bottom it shaped like that of a G5! It's a new display!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, wonder what this means. GeForce 6800 in next Power Macs?
Click to expand...

MacOSXRumors says so. In the next few weeks in a matter of fact.

In addition, a member of MacRumors who works for Apple UK says that the 6800 will be available for macs 3 weeks earlier than for PCs. Presumably along with new powermacs.
 
Don't kill me, but has this always been there?

Um, where? Are you serious or are you joking? The only picture I see is really small and it contains a G5 and a current lac screen.

Apple has used that graphic many times before - I remember seeing it at least 6 months ago. Definitely not new displays...

Yeah, he's right!!! If you zoom in you can definitely make it out. I wonder if we'll be seeing these sooner than WWDC??

Wow, it looks like you might be right but I'm not so sure, it's too bad you cant see it in more detail.. If it is new, it has a large bezel still...

As for Adobe, buy the company!
Click to expand...

just think how crazy it would be if apple did the same for adobe as it did to e-magic..! without photoshop the PC side would have... um... GIMP. Or at least I can't think of any app for the purpose more or even almost as popular as PS.

I don't know if it was any good business, and it sure would make lots of people mad, but at least it would probably make some companies change to macs.
 
This is kind of off-topic, but I just wanted to say how much I like Apple's new web pages for its new products. It does look a little weird with the new design under the old, aqua navigation bar. I for one would love a new OSX theme based off the colors/shapes used in the motion, final cut, and xsan pages and the XSAN box. That would be a true, professional theme not a happy, colorful, and cuddly theme.
 
Definitely a new display

I increased the size of the picture by 300% and you can definitely make out a silverish color on the display and a completely new stand!
 
Avid Unity

Avid is really going to have to drop down the Unity's price. An Avid LanShare with 2 terabytes is around $28,000. You can do the same thing now with Xsan for $14,000 and have 3.5 terabytes. Not only that, but it will support RAID 5, unlike the Avid solutions. And if I'm ready this right, it should work with Avid software. This is a big deal for video. Our production facility has been waiting for an announcement like this for awhile. We have one Lanshare, but I doubt now we'll be getting another now.

Yep, it's always been there. Remember, it wasn't an Apple product until recently. I believe it's a requirement for the Mac version of Maya too..

(off topic) I despise one button mice, but at least they're replacable on a desktop Mac, so I don't have much reason to complain. I'd love it if Apple would at least add another button on the Powerbooks..

Sounsd like it would be awesome, and Apple really could afford to buy Adobe if they thought it was a really good investment... But I bet if they discontinued things like Photoshop for Windows they'd be slapped with antitrust suits
 
Apple said:
"Xsan lets multiple computers concurrently access terabytes of storage on Xserve RAID over high-speed Fibre Channel."
Click to expand...

Looks as if Apple is making serious inroads into enterprise. I suppose as they aren't yet widely accepted in that market, they have to push the standard up to gain the attention. XSan looks as-if it's doing this.

Also of course, this ties in beautifully with their other announcements, thereby attracting two markets. I vote positive for this thread :)

Upon further analysis, I no longer think its a new display. I think the coloring is just in that photo, and as for the stand... What you see to the left of the G5 stand I think is the normal left foot of the monitor, and what you see to the right of the G5 stand I think is the rear foot that the displays lean back on
 
This just in on MacMinue:

Panasonic, Apple team for HD over FireWire
April 18 - 15:58 EDT** Panasonic and Apple today announced what the two companies call the world's first implementation of FireWire with 100 Mbps DV-HD (the native video compression of Panasonic DVCPRO HD recording systems) to bring "unmatched capabilities and dramatically lower price points" to high definition (HD) post-production and content distribution. "Together, Panasonic and Apple are bringing HD over FireWire capabilities to desktop and mobile editing with Panasonic's new AJ-HD1200A, the first HD production VTR to offer a FireWire interface, and Apple's newly-announced Final Cut Pro HD professional video editing software, enabling mass adoption of HD resolution images on the desktop, and even on PowerBooks," reads the press release

EVEN ON POWERBOOK? G5 Powerbooks TOMORROW. Fer sho.
