Apple Press Event October 19 Confirmed

[MacRumors]

Posted at MacWorld.com:

Apple Computer is once again gathering the press together as it rolls out new innovations. The latest invitation-only event will be held in New York City on October 19, 2005 on the eve of PhotoPlus Expo. Apple doesn’t say exactly what the press conference will be about, but the invitation sent to MacCentral asks to join them as “we unveil Apple’s latest pro innovations.”

This will be the third special product focused event that Apple has held in just over a month. On September 7, Apple launched the iPod nano and just this week they unveiled the video iPod and new iMac.

The event was previously rumored for release of updates to the Power Mac and Powerbook lines.

Great! This sure will make all the people waiting desperately for updates before buying PowerBooks a whole lot happier!

 

[Some_Big_Spoon]

Credit Card in hand if they can actually do something of any substance with powerbooks.

 

[ajwitte]

PMs are a given.
This means either good PBs or none at all though. Apple would not intro 'bumped spec' 7447A PBs at a special event.

PowerBooks Next Tuesday!

I'm glad those rumors get to come back.

 

[LimeiBook86]

Told you the PowerBooks were coming...now who believes me? haha

PowerBooks Next Tuesday!

I'm glad those rumors get to come back.

Wednesday.

 

[mainstreetmark]

Wednesday.

It was a joke anyways, from about a year ago, when new PowerBooks where always a week away.


Perhaps they'll introduce iTunes 7.

 

[syklee26]

it's more than that

i think, in addition to PM and PB, there might be some other announcement, probably some photoshop-type software that's been rumored some months ago....I think it was called "Photo Pro".

Mac Mini might be officially updated too.

possibly some more addition of TV networks.....I want Fox to join so I can download 24, the best show on TV now.

 

[wordmunger]

Mac Mini might be officially updated too.

I doubt it, since this is explicitly being billed as a "pro" event.

A year ago, Tuesday was the old Wednesday.

Anybody wanna buy my current G5?

Apple's gotta stop contributing to my monetary demise...

 

[Zaty]

I also think Apple will unveil Photo pro (in addition to new PMs and PBs, of course)

Good point, I'll bet the mini's become official and the PowerMacs go like this:
Single processor/dual core 2.0, Single processor/dual core 2.3 and Dual-Dual core 2.5.

Why would Apple try to take on Photoshop?

 

[4God]

I doubt it, since this is explicitly being billed as a "pro" event.

Yeah but maybe he'll say "and one more thing"

 

[Lacero]

I also think Apple will unveil Photo pro

If it's anything like Pages, I'm going to jump off the nearest bridge overlooking concrete.

 

[paulypants]

Why would Apple try to take on Photoshop?

It's not a Photoshop competitor, I think it's just a professional photo management tool...

 

[dontmatter]

damn, they are just WORKING the media for coverage.

 

[dukeblue91]

I'm starting to like those special events
much more exciting then your regular old Tuesday updates.

Come on Dual Dual Power Macs.

 

[wordmunger]

damn, they are just WORKING the media for coverage.

Seriously. At some point, the press is going to get bored with all these "special events."

 

[BakedBeans]

like buses!!!

wait for ages for one release and then you get 3 at once

 

[AtHomeBoy_2000]

It's not a Photoshop competitor, I think it's just a professional photo management tool...

I just did a google search for it and I'd have to agree with you on that one. Wouldnt suprise me if they started to go that direction to take on Photoshop, but for right now it looks like management.

It's great to see Apple on the move again! Can't wait for the new powerbooks, they really needed to get updated.

I'm waiting for the mactel powerbook thought, can't really afford any new apple hardware right now... I'm so tempted to... all those new, sexy iMacs and 'pods and all...

 

[Apple!Freak]

Holy Mofoin' crap! This is insane. One media event after another. Sheer pandemonium on the floor! I love it, I love it! Bring it on! Pull out the credit card-cha ching, $300 iPod video-enabled charged, $1400 new iMac G5 17" charged, upcoming $1700 12" HD PowerBook charger.
