I myself am hoping for a dual g5 1.6ghz tower (new model), of course there is no way in hell this is going to happen. I would be content if they went with dual g4 apollo 1.2ghz. One thing I hope they do also is come up with a better mouse. I mean come on apple, get with the program, 1 button mice are a thing of the past, at least for powermac towers.
Got a tip for us?

Apple and Nintendo
I know the console market has been ventured into by m$ but what a merger between Nintendo and Apple? Nintendo is the only gaming company that produces only consoles and games for them making them weak compared to Sony and m$. So it's possible don't you think?

Okay, I'll say it:
Mac ISP. Apple will release a new deal. Have Airport, will travel. Go look at Adobe Atmosphere. How would you like to have your data available anywhere, seamlessly and without connectivity hassles?

Re: Okay, I'll say it:
Hmmm...could be.
I've heard this floated before as part of the networked PC instead of the standard desktop model we've had for the past decade. It would be bold too, since only major corporations and universities have been the only ones to even consider going this route until now.
Think of it. A trimmed down cheap appliance that wirelessly accesses all it's software and data. No need for big storage just ultra broadband.

re: question from iapple at 10:12 am today
iapple,
i don't really know if os x does usb printer sharing since i run os 9
...but sign up for free at experts-exchange.com and ask "weed" and i am sure he will know...he's the next best thing to woz in the apple universe as far as i am concerned
thanks and good luck,

Close, but no cigar ...
Ok... a few more NOTs ....
1. NOT OS/X running on a Wintel box. My guess is that Steve Jobs would have to be dead and buried TWICE before that would happen. And I can't see the Dark Lords over at Microsoft letting it happen too easily, and they control which OS Office will run on.
2. NOT another horribly doomed net appliance. We've had a dozen of them ALL crash and burn over the past two years. Apple is probably not that stupid.
3. NOT G5 (See my earlier posting. Nothing has changed since then.)
4. NOT just another generic PDA. If there IS a PDA introduced, it will have to be GREAT, combining iPod and Palm, be COMPLETELY compatible with WinDoze as well as Macs (so probably USB standard, with FireWire as an option, since FireWire is still not common on PCs) and compettively priced (around $399). That will be very tough for Apple (or anybody else). Sony or many other Asian manufacturers could build it easily, but not at that retail price point. If they come in at a higher price point they run into the Win2002 pocket PCs. They'll have to price it just right ...
5. NOT just an iMac with an LCD screen. We'll need more neat stuff on it to really sell well against the other LCD-based desktops. Apple need more breakout products like iPod, not just more stuff to sell to Mac lovers. Just watch iPod sales take off when they drop the price by $100 later this year and when the various Windows software packages are all available for it.
See my earlier post (p.7 of this thread, I think) for what I think it will be...
Now the 'boldly' has me assuming that the Enterprise cast WILL be on hand Monday....
Hmmm ...... Live long and prosper!

This is just more speculation, but I do know that Intel's 2.4Ghz processors are scheduled to be released this January. Possibly Apple has reached 2.4Ghz (however unlikely that may be), and has pushed up the keynote one day to be one day ahead of the release of the 2.4Ghz P4's at Comdex?
I don't know for sure that they are being released at Comdex, but it would make sense, considering that they are supposedly starting to ship in January. And that would fit with the "going where no PC has gone before"....
Just more speculation...

maybe..just maybe...
Now, I must admit, when I first read your ppost, I thought what the hell is this guy going on about!
BUT, the quotes from the Apple.com page do make sense if it is a wristwatch..
Maybe it is..
Because I still believe there is something else besides the imac and other speed bumps..

Re: Close, but no cigar ...
Sorry for the double post..
I also think that "just speed" is not enough to make people buy. I mean how often do consumers think "Man, I just can't live without 2.4 GHz!" There's gotta be some amazing function involving Airport/Gigawire, or something so unique that we can't even imagine to REALLY BLOW US AWAY!
JUST breaking the GHz barrier, or reaching 2GHz isn't enough to make the public pay for the "Thing".
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
Do you want to run your car at 470 miles per hour or have air condition?

Apple WRISTWATCH
Well you guys remember the one post saying they thought it might be a wrist watch? Well, this is really wierd but last night i had a dream that i was at the mall and i had just BOUGHT the NEW APPLE WRIST WATCH! I just thought it was a strange coincidence. Anyway, we'll all see very soon.

Mac OS X for Intel systems! It has to be that. I mean the saying "to BOLDLY go where no PC has gone before"
There saying the "PC" has never seen the "Power of X" which is the feature presentation monday.
This was taken from the macworld website.
"Feature Presentation*- Just Announced! "
"Monday, January 7
Power of X - a presentation on the world's most advanced operating system!"
Apple isn't coming out with any G5s (well maybe) but they are going to blow away Windows XP out of its own territory which is why M$ came out with the XBOX so they could make all the money back with the losses Apple gave them. Thats the PUNCH in the stomach that Bill Gates deserves after stealing ALL of Apples ideas.
Get ready for all around mac os baby!!!!!!!

wristwatch...
I think the wrist watch IS kind of a ridiculous idea (but I must say it does take some courage to write something like that) but it DOES match the slogans on Apple's website..
What Mr. Likeable posted earlier does make sense..
But.. being more realistic.
1. Definitely SOME new iMac-ish thing. Probably LCD display, Could be a tablet, something wireless (airport/gigawire) to connect other electric equipment--aka Digital hub
2. Almost definitely a new PowermacG4 (almost no possibility of G5) and probably breaking the GHz barrier after all the sorrow of MWNY last year. (1.2DP,1.4would be nice..)
possibly USB2, Firewire2 if we're lucky, faster system bus, faster ram etc. (I hope there is a new case..)
AND yes there will be another shootout with Pentium4 2GHz
3. Possible revision of iBook (probably not Powerbook because of combo revision so recently) iBook might have new colors, combo drive standard, and maybe up to 700MHz (since the iMac will get a speed bump)
4. Some new digital hub divice, probably not iCam (the hardware) but something else. This could be the same as the iMac though..
5. iPhoto software
6. a Mac OSX 10.2 preview is possible, a minor update will probably be there to accomodate new hardware
7. Photoshop X may be released or at least be previewed (for the shootout too..)
8. Steve will talk about the retail stores and how well they are doing
9. Software demonstrations, photoshop, games etc
10. Appleworks 7 should be released because the present one is painful to use under OSX.
11. Remote possibiliby of iPod revision, the remote that was rumored and price cuts may occur (maybeee 10GB?)
This is what I've basically concluded so far, and guys, give me some feedback.

It's like I said on another thread (more or less):
Apple has fixed all the bugs in Windows3.1...
To boldly go where no PC has gone before. (That is, a crash-proof version of Windows.)
OS X on a PC is a possibility -- after all, didn't Jobs call a truce with Gates back when he was iCEO?

Maybe they are just slogans?
I just dont think that there are guys at Apple that would try to give away what they will show by giving out clues in the slogans. I think they will show something that will technically fit in the slogans, but it will just do something that we can already do with other products in an easier way. It's like the whole supercomputer thing, they said supercomputer power but Intel sped past the first G4's in a less than a year. Nobody will think their G4 400 will be a supercomputer when they see the iMac is faster than the first G4's.
Since I am writing something here I will ad my wish of a computer. One that I can take the CDRW/HD out of it and use it on the go. That way I can take my work with me and not have it tied to my home computer. Sure beats having to buy a tower and a notebook.

No, he just set his clock ahead and then visited apple.com to see the new message. Duh.
Uh, that was a joke.
G5 PowerMacs + G4 iMacs + 1ghz G3 iBooks at MWSF.
Cheers!

Hmmmmm...
That's two Star Trek references in a row.
A long WALK would be a TREK.
Maybe there IS an Apple PDA, but instead of iWalk, it's iTrek.
Anyone know if the name iTrek is copyrighted?

My dollar bet is on one of these...
I'm going with my predictions from early Dec.
The biggest thing will be a PDA named iPad (Star Trek uses PADD's so the name is in line) with a larger screen than normal PDAs at $499
or...
OSX for PC's.
(with a disclaimer for performance issues for odd components)
or...
New PowerMacs now run using Motorola, Intel, AMD chips.
Dudes...
Motorola IS laying off 9,400 people, so they must know something is coming. With a layoff like that can they really be counted on to make faster super chips everyone's speculating about.
and a side bet is Jobs rides out on a Segway!!!
