Ah, ok, thanks for reassuring me of my sanity
Yea, I agree with that definitely. I really don't see how Apple can miss this opportunity though. Hopefully tomorrow we'll see.
Got a tip for us?

All we know based on release history is they are coming soon. I don't know why everyone was expecting an update on this Tuesday. When Monday is a holiday the releases are usually on Wednesday.Hi My first post
I can absolutely guarantee that the refresh will be Tuesday 2nd March!
This is a sods law theory since I take delivery of my new macbook pro today (15 in 2.66) and the 2nd is a Tuesday and day 15 after my purchase
I am happy with what I'm getting but if it arrives in the 14 days I will assess my options and may send the current one back depending of the upgrades and price of course!
I wonder if today will be as manic as last Tuesday!
March 16 would actually be pretty perfect for the iPad. Jobs said the iPad would be out 6 weeks after the announcement, which makes it the week of the 9th.
Now CA is in the game
This is from Gizmodo, but apparently "Apple SKUs Turn Up On Canadian Best Buy System Purportedly Showing MacBook Pros / iMacs"

Hopefully this points to an update within the next 2 weeks.

Weird, I thought he said 60 days for the WiFi-only version. Where did 6 weeks come from?
Somebody post the "all is lost" batman picture. I'm losing faith in this wednesday...
You should wait until 4pm, maybe 5pm EST. It is 8.30- the shops are not even open...
"Our tipster says he also saw some "fully-speced high end iMacs in inventory that were not in stores yet."
I am also not sure anymore if I can believe in the refresh in the two following weeks. It might be that if the update isn't here by March 2nd that I will be forced to buy the older model. It would feel really disappointing to buy an old model only to see the new one being announced the next day.
Yes, I know with the 10% rsf it's possible to get the new one, but 10% is money I could use for something else than this idiotic policy of Apple's not to tell its customers anything about anything...

Yep - it's next two weeks or bust - I'm with you, I'll probably buy a regular macbook temporarily/upgrade the hd and ram/and resell to buy new i5 MBP whenever it comes out... or just be really sad

Can someone explain this to me? I thought BestBuy has a week delay from release before they receive the new products. Isn't this week's purpose exactly for preventing leaks? I mean why would apple tell BBY anything if it knew it had 1 week to iron out logistics after the announcement?
Best Buy, DOES NOT have a delay of getting products. I think even earlier in this thread I mentioned that when the new unibody macbooks came out my Best Buy had them that Tuesday.
I'm not trying to give anyone hope or anything else, just stating what I've seen.
Considering that most of the Best Buys that carry Apple have a mini Apple Store inside them, it's not like Apple is going to ignore them. The Mac table at your local Best Buy is typically leased by Apple and staffed by Apple employees.
Oops, sorry. I blame it being like.. 5am when I listened to the announcement. I must have just remembered the number 6 and then put it through the 'wishful thinking' translator.
That would make the iPads due around the 28th of March, yes?
Who knows. I'm surprised they didn't go with their usual "end
of..." or even more vague and general blanket statement: "March 2010". But the 28th fits well with the original iPhone's June 29 I guess..
The website says "end of March 2010" *sigh* Although, since the 28th is a Sunday, and the 'end of March' could be considered the last week or so, that might work in our favour.
How long are things traditionally under consideration by the FCC?
