Covered Banner at WWDC in Moscone West

People who are saying that the iPhone won't be getting much time at WWDC, personally I think you could be mistaken. Remember that the iPhone may possibly be open to third party developers? Well... they're developers... the iPhone can be developed on... this is WWDC.
Calm down. All I'm saying is that if Apple has a professional product line, and Developers use professional products, at WWDC you would see new professional products released. If the iMac were to be bumped to professional status, or some new model that follows the iMac niche is intended for their "Pro" buyers, I could see it at WWDC. That's all.
I'm not saying it's impossible to see a consumer device at a developers conference, I'm just saying it wouldn't make much sense. To me.
There is plastic on the front end of external iSights, isn't there?
Yep. Looking back the original iMac was unveiled a week or so before WWDC 98 - that event concentrated mostly with Apples future plans for a modern OS and the roadmap to MacOS 9 & OSX.
I think one of the banners will have the new Leopard Finder on it - maybe something like this:
If they do that, they better fix the blurry bar on GMA 950s!!!

HAHA ok I'm done with being logical in this thread anyway!
My panties are just in a bunch 'cause finals week starts Monday for me.-=|Mgkwho
Hey who said anything about being logical LOL - this is after all the internet!HAHA ok I'm done with being logical in this thread anyway!
If you're a developer then it'll most assuredly be worth the wait... After all, that *is* what this event is for...

No I'm pretty sure I mentioned explicitly the term developer base. There are different developer bases and WWDC has never addressed the 3rd party iPod developer base. But it does address the developer base that develops for consumer desktops. So its not impossible to see an iMac or Mac Mini announced at one of these things. I mean iChat and the iSight have both been announced at these things.
But someone has already mentioned, they can and will announce whatever they feel like is best for their company to announce at that moment. Traditionally it has been professional products, but if the eyes of the world are watching and a new revolutionary iMac is ready, they will. Apple is run by a bunch of anal fanatics so they are going to think differently than the average MacRumors reader. (thats wasn't meant as a personal insult or anything, FYI)
A covered banner at an Apple hosted event...
NO FREAKIN WAY?!?!?!
Shoot, now I'll never fall asleep tonight...
Ah, you should have prepared like me...the chloroform is on my bedside table.
Covered banner thingy and consumer lines at WWDC07
Quick question... At any of the previous WWDC events has there ever been a release of ANY new consumer products?
Just wondering.

I'd kinda say that that was fine to put in here, he was not asking for help, just giving us the information that there may be somthing up with the website, which for thoes of us who know how web servers work, could have somthing to do with local computer caching and there be somthing different on apple.com
Fresh outta chloroform damn-it... I'll just have to make due this bottle of Gentleman Jack instead.

No. The iSight has been released, but that is geared toward all userbases.

Good thinking. Guess I won't be needing these now..

Dear Lord
Thank you for removing Roz Ho from future keynotes. Now my shirts will no longer be ruined by blood dripping from my ears.
Now if you could just remove that corporate fake Scott Forstall, then my teeth could stop grinding, and I could finally pay my dentist tab.
Amen

Yeah, you're right. Especially since it happened to me and others. I changed it. Thanks!
Yeah! Like last MacWorld's keynote.. With nothing about Macs in it.
I'm in the camp which says its entirely plausable that consumer desktops would be launched at a developer event. Developers will be making software for it - particularly if it has an unusual interface they need to see it before the consumers.
Even just new imacs - Developers would love to see something that can significantly increase Mac marketshare, and a lot of them would end up using them anyway. Mac Pros seem more likely, but I wouldn't rule out any new models..
Yeah, I've never seen the one on the lower-right. Then again, I'm not a developer.
Oh! Good counter point! I personally wish that the iPhone was released at a SE and Macs released at MacWorld. But I guess nothing really big has happened until recently with regards to the Mac.
And I'm not ruling out anything, I was just saying I can't see it happening.
