Apple NAB Media Event Coverage

[MacRumors]

An 11am PST Media event from Apple is expected to bring software announcements today at the National Association of Broadcasters.

Coverage for the event is limited. At present there appear to be two sources for the event.

Apple's booths at NAB are reportedly covered with black sheets as well as covered banners.

We will continue to update this story to reflect the latest information.

POWA MACS

[Ambrose Chapel]

hope it's a nice mix of hardware and software

 

[FlyNolJ]

PowerMacs?

I think this'll be the event for the new Powermacs to debut, dual-core an' all. Apple is so classy, "black sheets and banners."

 

[aafuss1]

It's being presented by Rob Schoeben (according to the French live coverage blog)

"Recall of the advertisements of the year spent, diffusion of a video which shows their use..."

Hehe... I love auto translators.

 

[LeeTom]

My prediction:
Software only.
New PowerMacs tomorrow... no dual core.

 

[Fourbin]

I just went to the Apple Store order status page and it says the store is down for a scheduled maintenance. Maybe getting ready for some new products?

It's beyond forever now! Not loading at all.

So do the black sheets look like they're covering powerbook sized objects or powermac sized objects?

 

[FlyNolJ]

No way.

It's gotta be dual core, Apple would be silly to have not achieved it over 8 months.

Greetings Fellow Geeks

Does anyone else feel a little embarrassed staring at a computer screen on a Sunday? Someone help me.

 

[ipacmm]

The US store was down but now is back online...

 

[aprilfools]

Ok.......I have inside information and I know exactly what's under the black sheets. It's....... LONGHORN. Yes. Its true. Apple and MicroSoft are merging and a new world dominating Operating System will prevail: Tigerhorn.

 

[runninmac]

THe french and Spain (just checking random stores) store is down to but the US is up.
