The invitation says "pro inovations".Plural..Not singular as in "inovation"..
Apple is inviting the media to see it's latest "pro inovations"..
We know about Photo Pro.That would be an "inovation".Singular.So there must be more to the "inovations" than software..
It's pretty obvious this event is more.

I Agree on the hardware side we will see upgraded 15 and 17 inch powerbooks drop the 12 inch from the line or have no changes to it, and a brand new powermac.
Dunno if this has already been said, so forgive me if it has, but does anyone else think that if we do indeed get a new Powerbook line, there will be the inclusion of the iSight like on the new iMacs.
Hence the rumored Camera lens that apprently appears on the invite for this event. Wasn't there a rumor while back which had PB's with iSight?
Like I said, if it's been talked about in this thread already, I'll get my coat - or call a taxi.
Cheers

Pftt! Never gonna happen.
No iPod will ever play video until Apple goes Intel next year. And how the hell would you fit an iSight into an iMac? It's too big to fit anywhere.
As for a Media Centre - yeah, right, not gonna happen.
Never in a million years.
Boy, and I thought some rumours around here were crazy but I'll be typing away from my G5 PowerBook when the iMac gets a built-in iSight and Media Centre functionality - let alone an iPod that plays video.
Damn Noobs never know what they're talking about.
Pfft! iPod video! Yeah right.... *wanders away shaking head and laughing*
I'm personally waiting for Intel.
From what I've seen and ran of the Intel Edition of OSX86, it FLYS.

Makes no sense at all, IMO. The Intel change has already been billed by His Steveness as a huge transition. New form factors will underline this so don't expect any external differences in the Powerbook or Powermac until "I-day".
here is what i heard from an "insider":
It's a "Special Edition - Early Adopters" MacTel box - one configuration, available to everyone for $1899.00. Specifications are not known - but suppossedly it's wickedly fast, and it comes in an aluminum enclosure similar to a G5 - but in a 10 inch "Cube" form factor.
sorry to spoil it

i think it makes no sense from a mac loyalists point of view because we don't really like change that much, especially as whatever product it is, we would have been screaming its asthetic praises since it's release. however i dont think apple should be thinking 100% about users it already has in the bag! the other 95% of people will always need a newer, better reason to switch.
also (bring on the flames
) i think there is room for improvement with the powerbooks design........leaving work so gotta make this quick, hope i got the point across......FLAME AWAY!!

No flaming, I want to hear your suggestions for a new PowerBook form factor. I'm not really creative and aside from colour changes I can't think of any way to change it. What're your ideas?

Although I think this is bunk it would be cool to have one!
Might as well call it a Mac-Mini with an Intel chip

i mentioned it on here before so i'm sorry to those that may see this as boring but, i was thinking along the lines of the cinema display, with really tight shut lines.....something i no longer have due to utilising the portability factor
stick with the aluminium but with translucent white sides maybe??? completely flat on the sides but curving front to back (doesn't really make sense to me!!!) kind of like.......(_______) (ha that's even worse than my description!!!)I think this sort of design would possibly make it more sturdy aswell?
As I recall, about a half hour before the event last Wednesday, reports started coming in from around the world about online Apple Stores closing, then about 10 minutes before the hour I couldn't get onto MacRumors at all because of all the traffic. It became hard to get any information. I have wondered why they don't just do an instant change in the Apple Stores without closing them.wdlove said:
That would explain this announcement showing up in my mail earlier today:DaveNinja said:
edit: the text didn't make it trough... here it is:
Scope your transition project today.
"Get up to speed quickly with "Scoping Your Transition Project," a new resource on the Developer Transition Resource Center. You'll see exactly what you need to do to get ready for Intel-based Macs, and find links to the expert guidance and technical resources that will ensure your success.
You'll find this latest resource and much more at the Developer Transition Resource Center."
It says TODAY three times in the mail...

In spite of what I said, I think the shipment times are a good indication for a hardware change ... I hope.Truffy said:No biggie, dual dual 2.5GHz will do me fine!
But I'm with DavidCar on this. There have been too many "one more thing!"s that have just turned into "was that it?"s recently. I'm keeping my expectations low, so I can only be pleasantly surprised.
