Apple begins decorating Yerba Buena Center for Tuesday's iPad event [u]
San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is starting to get Apple's traditional promotional window dressing ahead of the company's Oct. 22 iPad event.
The decoration, seen in a photo by AppleInsider reader David Jones, appears to match Apple's Tuesday invitations for the event, with multicolored "leaves" from Apple's logo scattered in the background. The Yerba Buena Center is one of Apple's most preferred venues for product showcases, having hosted the original iPad's 2010 introduction, among others.
Also spotted was a design schematic depicting the finished layout.
Apple is expected to unveil a redesigned 9.7-inch iPad featuring a thinner build and narrower bezels around the display alongside a Retina display-equipped iPad mini at the Oct. 22 event. Both devices are rumored to be available in Apple's new gold and space gray color schemes, introduced in September with the iPhone 5s.
The company will also likely show off updates to the next-generation Mac Pro desktop and OS X Mavericks operating system at the event. The new Mac Pro, which Apple will build in the United States, is rumored for a November launch, while Mavericks has already gone golden master and may be released before October is out.
AppleInsider will be on site for Tuesday's event and will bring live coverage alongside hands-on first impressions for any new devices.

I think it's the color palette. Nothing I've seen in Mavericks makes me think that all those pastels are pointing to OS X.
I can't wait. The iPads are such a big part of Apple now...
It will be interesting to see what they say about iPods, if anything.
iPods may be addressed closer to Xmas, though.
I would encourage everyone to watch the Keynote....the Keynotes are always interesting.
When their new Campus 2 presentation centre is built, they should just put LCD displays all over the walls instead of these silly analog posters
...........
Would love to have one Mavericks event feat. Re-engineered iWork, iLife as week as rMBP and MacPro. That would be a lot to cover.
Then one iPad update with ios7.1 and iCloud with, for instance, a storage capacity for photostream similar as flickr's (now that would make it a super sticky walled garden).
...........
OK, I did it again .... Sooooo sowwwy
Hmm..those colors don't really look that pastel to me.
That's a good thing.
I think he meant to say iOS. You’re right; the sentence doesn’t make sense this way.
A VERY good thing, though Notes is already ruined.
The leaves also look like different layers covering eachother . Maybe they have made a really good device + app to view the world in desired layers adding info to your world. Although that would be more a google glasses thing maybe.
I think "Still have a lot to cover" is just what it sounds like. iPads, Mac Pro, MBP, Software, etc. The leaves are just indicating it is an Autumn event.
Mavericks. Can't wait to see what performance boost it might bring.
Hoping to see more about the MacPro (doubt it will come in colors, though!).
And don't forget the mini.
With iOS7 (which I cannot stand) as standard now, I am no longer a potential iDevice customer; used to by one or two every year. That said, I hope the new iPads are great and sell well so that Apple can continue to develop things and maybe I will buy when iOS8 comes out. Or iOS9. But perhaps my tastes are getting dated and times will pass me by; that day was sure to come but it might have arrived earlier than I had hoped...
With the money I will save I can trick my MacPro out just a little more. Yay!
I can't wait. The iPads are such a big part of Apple now...
It's amazing that the iPhone got a small launch on their campus while the iPad gets the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. Certainly a sign of the times at Apple (although the iPhone still greatly dwarfs the iPad in profits for Apple).

iPod.
iPhone got MacWorld AND WWDC that year.
"We have a lot more to cover"?
This might be too literal, but I think the "one more thing" is going to be something crazy with the ipad covers. There are already rumors that the hinges aren't the same as before.
They’re not making a TV and the iMac was just updated three weeks ago; it can’t get retina now.
I'm holding out buying a new iPod Nano to see if they introduce a new one at any point this year. I agree, probably closer to Christmas.
As for iPad, I have a 1st Gen and a 2, I skipped the 3 and 4. I honestly believe Steve Jobs would never have greenlighted those last two, even with a Retina, simply because they were thicker and heavier than their predecessor. That's not like Apple at all and I believe he would have tore up their design and demanded them to "start over and don't come back til you have it right!" I may or may not trade in my 1st Gen for a 5, depending on how good it is. (Never getting rid of my 2) I'll wait for the Keynote.
I fully agree with Christopher126, they are amazing to watch! I have all the ones available on Podcasts and many others saved on my laptop.
