They didn't (but the most recent price list seems to have been removed from Intel's website, so maybe this is going to change).MacSA said:
I still think that Apple has a major chance in the videorecorder/camcorder arena. Everything seems to be headed to HD drives and there are but a few players out there. With integration into imovie or whatever they come out next this is going to help a lot of newbies into the arena. I know so many people that still won't use a camcorder or can't figure it out. But with itv coming it's going to be a wonderful thing. I hope they come out with a 699 and 999 pricepoint on a new HD video camera with 30G and 80G HDs. I will be a buyer... I need something besides ipods already, I want to go see the world!!!!!
Apple has probably sold at least 4 million cameras (isights) and macs with isights so, they now a few things about optics and they are still the leader in digital imaging.
ipod-->Itunes----itv PODCASTS
quicktake HD--->imovie--->itv YOUTUBE

I'd have to disagree there. I bought an N93 last week and sent it back two days later for three reasons:
1. Build quality was appalling
2. Screen was loose
3. Video recorder quality was superb but still shots were marginally better than my 2MP W800i.
I was hugely disappointed with that phone - especially as I put down close to £500 for it. Back to the trusty sony-ericsson I go.
no 1 mentioned the new...802.11n !!!!!!! in the new mbp's that are GOING to be released at photokina!!!
in the new mbp's that are GOING to be released at photokina!!!Both MacBook and MBP will get merom very soon.. Apple needs to keep their laptops good compared to other pc's...
And for the "MacBook won't get Merom, cause then it will be too good" theory...
Apple are "competing" with other companies, not with themselfs...
(sorry if there are spelling-mistakes)

if Apple is indeed competing with others, they DON'T have to put merom in MacBooks. every computer makers have high end and low end computers. Macbook is low end and MBPs are high end. high end computers see faster processors.
i don't see any compelling reason for Apple to stretch the seriously scarce supply of merom to put that in Macbooks when they can put meroms in MBP to hit higher margins
Mbp
I understand your point and I think it is logical that Apple isn't competing with itself...but you have to remember that the Macbook Pro is their top of the line notebook. I think personally there should be a gap between the two. The MB is the introductory line/standard user notebook. The MBP is their "power" user (if no one minds i say that) laptop in line with the Mac Pro as where the MB is in line with the iMac. I mean, I can be wrong, but Apple has had their computers in a hierarchy for years.
As for them releasing something special at the show, I think it is completely possible. A camera...not very likely. Aperature 2.0, absolutely likely. A new design for the MBP, I can only hope so. At least an upgrade to C2D for the MBP. Thats what I want to see.

i think macbooks will get core 2 duo. i base this on the fact that as of this morning, my sep 5th order for a blackbook has been pushed back to the 26th. coincidence?

shadowx said:The MBP would be great... but I really doubt all of those changes. Even with CPU, HDD, and RAM bumps only... I think the price points stay unchanged - Apple has a history of doing that. It would be nice if I'm wrong, though
Consider that Merom is cheaper. X1600's has also become cheaper. As has RAM. I can only pray.
And yes, apachie2k, I mentioned 802.11n here.

Because it's not the right venue...the invitation is clear, and refers to Aperture...nothing else.
Photokina is not iPodKina
No Macs, no iPods, no new products at all. It's like this.
1. The invitiation shows the cover of the Aperture box. So guess what? It's about Aperture.
2. Apple will be showing at Photokina. So will Adobe.
3. Months ago Adobe started letting users work with Adobe Lightroom beta - for free, but only until the retail version is released AT PHOTOKINA!!!.
4. If you have Lightroom on your computer it will shut down unless you buy the retail version at a special Photokina introductory price. This is fact. It was announced months ago.
5. The special Apple announcement will be that Aperture will meet that price for Lightroom beta users.
No iCamera, iPhone, iShip, iPlane, iRocket or iHummer. Buy Aperture instead of Lightroom. That's it.

Hmm, I don't know,.... Photokina is the most important event worldwide for professional photography and related businesses, if not the only one.
Pro-books an Mac Pros are what this fairly big clientele uses.
Aperture is just another image browser, not important enough really to justify Job's presence there.

Holy Crap Batman - if this is true - it is really a waste.
I counter this frigtard's statement by stating the follow.
He's right about everything BUT the hardware.
He will introduce the new MBP - and MAYBE - the new ACD's (color editing) and if we are lucky, 802.11n.
Mark MY words - it will be more than just software - it will also be about hardware.
One additional rumor is that Adobe may introduce CS3 at this event
Some more fodder
Surprised I didn't see 2 possible products among the wealth of predictions and arguing in this thread:
1) Aperture for Windows.
2) Something like this, not far from an iPod: Photo storage/viewer

Why would anyone even consider that?
They don't have iLife, iWork, Logic Express, Logic Pro, Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro or anything else for Windows.
Only things Apple makes for Windows is Quicktime and iTunes.
To the "there will be no MBP guys": I am seriously willing ot bet. If they release an MBP, you buy me the high end 15" MBP maxed out. If they do not, I'll buy you a loaded 24" iMac?
What say ye?
