There should be at least ONE exciting announcement--probably the PowerMacs.
Alongside that could be some lesser announcements, and I fear PowerBooks may fit that description. The BIG PowerBook news is Intel, and it's too soon for that.
I do NOT however think the 12" PowerBook is going away without something to replace it. If the 12 IS going, then I expect some new compact portable in January at the latest. Maybe a new 12" PB, maybe a 13", maybe something ultraportable and low-end: a new smaller iBook. But SOMETHING to meet the ultracompact market.
If whatever that is is NOT a PowerBook, then maybe the 15" PB will gain a lower-end, cheaper version... or the iBook will gain a higher-end version. Something to fill in the gap of having no low-end 12".
The simplest thing of course would simply be that the 12" is not changing at allOr that it IS changing, but wasn't ready for Wednesday. Maybe in a month there will be a new 12" to join its updated siblings.
why a month why not next week these weekly events are fun!!!!!
I would love to see a more pro iphoto. I love how iphoto organizes stuff, I abhor how it handles media and edits files.

Why do you say it is too early for a mactel powerbook. They could put a Centrino chip inside... They already have the OS... They have been working on it for probably greater than 6 months. I think it would be smart... put a powerbook out there with intel inside. Work out the issues. Everyone thinks Yonah is a the next powerbook, but powerbook is so far behind and over the past 3 years (yes, it has been 3 years), processing power has gone from 1.0 GHz to 1.67 GHz. I don't think apple can wait until next year sometime. They have billions of dollars and have hires bunches of people. I am sure Steve is hot to trot. Wouldn't this just blow everyone away. Save Yonah (Rev B) for the spring, and Meron in the fall 06.
Just me 2 cents worth.
How could they, they don't come with screens, and the usual place for a "tower" like that is on the floor, who likes to stare at someone elses feet? Gross.Stella said:

I think so too if someone knows tthe part Number that means they work for apple and will need a new job very soon!!!
Why would they drop that? If I had a Powermac I'd need it (then again I do have an iMac, but still...)mateft said:
i went into the javits center yesterday to pee and i didn't even notice anything about apple or a photo show. Wasn't really lookin' though.
mateft said:
watch it my office has 60 Powermac g5 DP 2.3 w/ airport Not a single one is hard wired since its rented we cant put any holes in the wall but this is nicer b/c we can rearange the chbicals as often as we want as long as we get power to tthe macs!!!
I'm confused...why would they do that?cbigfoot1987 said:will macrumors go to their low bandwidth website tommarow???? any one Know?????
And sure enough we'll flush 'em if we aren't happy.Mr Maui said:Thanks for sharing. Betting Apple will not be in the men's room though. They may, however, be in the crapper if nothing seriously nice comes out of this event tomorrow.
Hey! I got number 100!

Well, I know it's really handy being able to wirelessly network my Powerbook to a desktop PC, so I really can see how having an Aiport card in a PowerMac would be useful (I hope I can get one some day
). It would also make machine placement more flexible, especially for those of us w/cable modems. So I can't see it going completely away.
They sometimes do that so you get a step by step discription of what is going on in there since they are in newyork they cant use a cellphone jammer!!!EricNau said:I'm confused...why would they do that?
