I am as optimistic as the next guy, but there is NO KEYNOTE. Jobs clearly wanted to release his "big" items (or small, real small, like nano) last week and is downplaying this year's expo. I cannot foresee anything but a moderate speedboost for the Pbs - even 128 graphics card seems like a stretch to me....

It does?

For anyone not wanting to download the above PDF... ;)

Hey, thanks buddy.

btw am I on crack, or did SHIFT-COMMAND-3(or 4) used to save as .jpg instead of .pdf Also, what's the quickest way to convert that as you did?

No problem at all my friend. :cool:

I believe the snapshot always saves it as a PDF, but who knows, maybe it was a JPG previously - not after 10.3 at least. Nonetheless, simply open the file in Preview, then click on File and Export, and export it to a JPG - piece of cake! :cool:

Small bump to speed, small bump to HD, maybe even RAM, and a new little feature (similar to trackpad scrolling and Sudden Motion Sensor) are my predictions.

PBs 15" and 17" are already HD (1280x854 and 1440x900 respectively) or did you mean a bump in Hard Drive capacity?

Sounds like there'll only be one product release tomorrow and that looks like it's going to be a laptop upgrade.

Based on ship times, it is much more likely Power Macs will be updated than books.
 
Just bought. What do I do?

Ok, I'm sure people have asked this a bagillion times. But I JUST bought a 12" PowerBook with Super Drive on 8/31. Is Apple a hardass about upgrades? Is there a policy?

!jon

On Panther it saves as .pdf, on Tiger it saves as .png
 
Hey sorry about that earlier post, i meant 128 standard on the 12incher, and yeah larger hard drive upgrades was what i eluded to, not highdef. I just really hope the 12 incher finally gets the rightful power treatment this time around. It does have me reeling however what apple is cooking, especially with their entire lineup of portables noticeably hidden under black cloth. Black iBooks? hmm... thanks for correcting me by the way. Hope everyone gets what they have been hoping for...
 
The shipping time for the PB 15" SuperDrive is three days in the Swedish Store. The others remain on 24 hours. Hmm, I really hope they release something new. Please Apple, please...

So much for the much anticipated PB update. Guess it's time to suck it up and get a 12" :D

Um, I'd hold off on that for a tick, head over to the thread about the Paris booth and have a look at the pic I just posted, something big is going down today, they don't need all that space for .Mac boxes do they?

They could be be really, really big .Mac boxes.

Might Mouse BT versions would be fast sellers and require a lot of stock space... my dream anyway :)

Yeah, that's another possibility, BT Mighty Mouses (Meeces? Mice?) and .Mac under one sheet, regular iBooks and speed bumped PowerBooks under the other maybe?
 
I do think with Steve saying this is the "year of HD" Powerbooks with new screens are a possibility. However, I have trouble buying into this due to the intel version coming out as soon as apple can muster. It would be odd for powerbooks to move HD and then change form to intel.

Anyway, my hopes lie along with a dual core Powermac.

Not that I would get one or anything...
 
what's behind this stupid curtain. The expo opened and nothing news.. This curtain can't be .mac update!!
 
strange shipping days

in italy pbooks 24h shipping, ibooks 5 days...

means anything?
 
I wake up and all I see is the .Mac upgrade, which is nice, but nothing else yet? Have they actually revealed what's behind the black curtains yet or not? Or is Steve not wanting to show all his cards right off the bat? Stay tuned I guess...

Strong suspicion now is "that's all folks"...

Shame, I really wanted a BT MMouse
