Rumors of New Apple Hardware Tomorrow Swirling

[OllyW]

Do you think the new keyboard will have an heavy duty F5 key?

Mine has nearly worn out.

 

[SqB]

I was curious about thoes SIM DUALBAND thing, I am wondering if they have done a deal with At&t to put wireless broadband in them.

OMG, I hope not. Can't imagine being restricted from doing anything but browsing text websites on my home pc by ATT.

This probably just means simultaneous dual-band which is the new standard for the airports allowing them to do 2.4 and 5 ghz at the same time.

 

[stevehp]

how true. on both accounts.

If anything, it's great for the economy and stock. Think about how many people are excited to spend their money on Aluminium and White Plastic!

And yes, I'm one of them

 

[notromeel]

Can't be anything too big, or else they would have an event for it... right? But DO take into consideration Cook mentioned higher air freight costs this holiday season.... iMac is presumably heaviest product offered?

 

[bagelche]

That mouse has bluetooth?

yup. I have one sitting on my shelf, abandoned for my wireless mighty mouse.

 

[tiguk]

SIM DUALBAND means Simultaneous DualBand.... nothing new here.. has nothing to do with AT&T or iPhone.

But, don't the current one's have that already, since last year??

 

[Corrode]

First rule: You have to leave that font on your PC...

Comic Sans FTW!

 

[Squidly]

I'm thinking that they're rolling out some new Garageband expert lessons.

 

[Anuba]

Maybe they have some new videos for Product Tours and the new Mac ads uploading???????????

LOL!

No.. they're just teasing. They're using that old post-it note to mess with our heads. Someone's been sitting with his finger on the trigger for almost 2 hours now.

They should close all their physical stores as well and put giant yellow post-it notes on the storefronts...

K84 = new keyboard?

Makes sense. That's about the right number of keys on a non-numpad keyboard.

Hi Guys,

I’m a PC user switching over to Apple. Today I wanted to check out something before buying an iMac and my dealer said WAIT! Then I came on here to check out things and it’s like the whole world’s melting down! We never had anything this exciting over in PC – Windows Land! I’m loving it and I don’t even have my first Mac yet! I'm off to do some jogging, when I get back the store will surely be up ...? Here's hoping everyone gets what they want!

Yay I love when people switch over.

 

[omegaphil6]

the macmini listed that says No ODD means No Optical Disk Drive.

 

[bytethese]

I, for one, am preparing to welcome our new iMacian overlords

I think you were looking for slashdot.org...

 

[Santabean2000]

We're all such nerds; I love it.

 

[0John0]

Yay

9to5mac just posted the news:



After a harrowing Apple Store outage today, Apple today updated a great deal of its consumer line of products.

As anticipated by many, the iMac line got updated with a new low cost 21.5 inch HD model. Utilizing a new 1920x1080 16:9 aspect ratio screen, the new iMac replaces the previous 20 inch models.

Mac Minis got a mild refresh updating processor speeds mildly while getting a new 1TB version.

BOOM

 

[AdeFowler]

I'd like to think that if there's new hardware, it'll be running 10.6.2.

 

[NightFox]

How come whenever this happens it's only the store site that goes down? Surely the main Apple site has to be updated to when there's new products?

 

[Wittmann28]

A better "guess" on iMacs
3 models:

smallest 21.5" with C2D 3.06
better 24" with core i7-720QM GeForce GTS 250M
best 24" with core i7-820QM GeForce GTS 260M or Mobility Radeon HD 4870

 

[AnDi86]

They should close all their physical stores as well and put giant yellow post-it notes on the storefronts...

That would be awesome

 

[darnovo]

my girlfriend just called me, she was at the mall and said that the Apple store there is open as normal with no new products ... that is not a good sign?

 

[royalwitcheez]

are we there yet?

didn't 9to5 also say no updates earlier today? Might be true, but would never trust 9to5.

Their site is spotty right now (server issues) but http://9to5mac.com/apple-consumer-update-2009
