Think Secret Predicts TWO New iPods and AT LEAST 4 Mac Updates

Well said.

Although a pink nano for Breast Cancer Awareness (with the obligatory ribbon logo laser etched on the back), with some proceeds going to the cause, might be a popular item.
I can think of a few other worthy causes Steve could get behind if he ever decided to do something like this.

I'm trying to not get too excited about Wednesday. I hate that disappointed feeling when I feed into the hype and hysteria.

Yeah I think the updates will just be the Pro line, ie:

Xserve
Powermac
Powerbook
Cinema Display

....oh and the obligatory ipod update.

xserve was just updated like 2 weeks ago. the rest is prety accurate maybe the imac instead of the cinema display.
 
So, iPods in black and white...erm great.
Updated lines...well that'll be an extra 100Mhz each then, and not forgetting GPU updates from a ATI XX00 to a ATI XX50 which benchmark at probably the same. Can't wait. The world turns.
Yeah my cup is half empty. :)

Rest assured, the Power Mac G5s are awesome, awesome computers (hopefully even better on wednesday). I absolutely love mine- it beats the heck out of my old PC.

Your cup might be half empty....but it is a realistic approach to the possible updates looming this wednesday.

That said.....all hail the dual-core 3GHz PowerPC G5! ;) :)

I keep coming back to the first word in the Invite "One"

One more thing... implies to me - that whilst Steve might update things / talk about where things are up to... there is "one" new piece of hardware, or signficant Revision.

Do people actually say "four" more things? I think "one more thing" might just mean "there is more".
 
With the exception of the Nano and Mighty Mouse (neither computers), Apple has not come out with anything really big in a quite a while. Until the Intels, I'm not expecting anything particularly interesting with new computers.

TS is usually on the money so for me this is a non-event event.

Hopefully something else will appear like BT Mighty Mice, Airport Express supporting video, new iSights

I just ordered an iSight online less than 30 mins ago. If they update it I know what I'm returning. Airport Express with video would mean I have to ebay my current one if its cool enough :mad:. Gotta stream my anime and home videos.
 
Well I suppose having the a video iPod would suck the battery up too quickly as the backlight would need to stay on for the length of the video.

But I'm predicting iMac, Powerbook and Power Mac updates and they'll officially announce the recent Mac Mini updates here. Oh and a price drop in cinema displays :D

PS: Kill the eMac already!!! It would hurt to buy an iBook or a Mac Mini instead would it?

The Xserve Raid was just updated, not the normal Xserve G5...which needs an update....

Simply incorrect. It is true the processor was not updated, but the Xserve was updated.
 
If this is true, I would says its the death kneel for the Expos as far as introducing new products. Apple has been slowly moving away from that for a few years.

I have trouble believing the rumor about a pink, Madonna iPod nano....

wouldn't it have made more sense to introduce this 2 weeks ago when (1) the Nano was introduced, (2)her catalog was introduced to the iTMS, and (3) she was on iChat at the event??

It took a while to add the vibration feature.
 
I don't expect Cinema Displays to be updated (although price cut is a possibility) but when they do, I expect DVI+HDCP and/or HDMI.
 
Well I hope that the Powerbook will be updated and i think that maybe they could put a built in camera into the Powerbook on the top, i think i remember a new patent to do that not to long ago, it might be to soon from the patent but i dont know. We will see :)

:eek: Aw shucks.

Erotic iPod-related Madonna comments just come naturally to me. This was a rare opportunity to exercise that gift....
