Think Secret - "no new CPU announcements"
Mini iPods, major iLife update focus of upcoming Expo keynote
Is this possible? I thought a revamped G5 lineup was a lock. I hadn't even considered the possibility of it not happening.
The iMacs, PowerBooks and iBooks are a different story I think - it's not that much of a stretch to say they'll remain untouched until a little later. But damn, I hadn't considered a MWSF without new G5's.
Although, a little 2GB iPod would be a nice gift for myself...

anyways, i would likely grab a couple of mini pods for the kids...
as for the PM update or a G5 iMac...paging neworder....give us the dirt please

ps...hey bot, going through withdrawal?? i think apple should "have to" update on a regular basis just so you can buy new machines all the time...
Of course, ThinkSecret said that there wouldn't be any new or updated computers at the last MWSF and look what happened - 12" and 17" PowerBooks!
PowerMac should be end of January or Februrary.....so that mine can be the "fastest Mac ever" for a few more weeks
Hey, what about the announcement of Discreet's acquirsition (Cleaner, Combusion. No MAX) in the show?
you all have heard the news.
no less an authority than "THINK SECRET" has said the upcoming MWSF2004 will focus on music.
there will be NO new CPUS for laptops or desktops.
i can already hear your groans but hear me out.
apple revamped almost EVERY hardware offering last year.
2003 was a very busy one for apple on the hardware front.
i think they nned to take a deep breath an refocus,and i believe they ARE refocusing.
lets accentuate the positive.
the purported new low end ipods.
THINK SECRET says the low end model will only cost 100 dollars!
this is awesome!
how many times has apple neglected the "low end" of any of their markets?
not this time!
apple has a change to put a death lock on the portable MP3 player market!
this is great news!
as for iLIFE?
we will have to wait and see what the "major revamp" entails.
i have a itching feeling that their will be a new DLD introduced at MWSF2004.
dont ask me how or why but this would be the perfect time to do so.
maybe the will anounce new XSERVES at MWSF2004.
that means NOT announce but INTRODUCE.
this is way overdue.
lets sit back and enjoy the show!
the digital lifestyle market is the future for apple computer and they know it.
really happy.
think I'll get a 2GB iPod for sure.
hardware updates.
later in january.
yeah.
must fix

And I can see Steve could use up 1.5 hrs on software announcements by doing demos and such, but that wouldn't be as entertaining as he usually prefers.
Also, note that TS does say there will be "major" XServe news. So an hour of software updates, iTunes and new iPods followed by .5 hr of "one last thing" is quite likely in my book. I'm keeping fingers crossed for a 3U XServe bladeserver (iGrid) announcement.
if the one more thing is an iMac G5 at 1.6 and 1.8 then you can assume that powermac speedbumps will come shortly there-after---maybe end of january at latest...if no iMac G5 is shown, then it will be a special event release around the superbowl

long keynote by SJ along with live webcast = good stuff coming

whatever, f-u-d-e-l-l-!
Again, PowerMacs haven't been updated at a Macworld for a while. They were updated a few weeks after MWSF 2003, a few weeks after MWNY 2002, and a few weeks after MWSF 2002. It'll be no surprise to me if they're not updated in early January.

Can someone explain to me how the keynote can run 2+ hours (according to TS sources) when it's only scheduled for 1.5 hrs according to IDG?
Steve doesnt have to pay extra if he does the 'One more thing'-thing...
After an hour and ten minutes of iPods and Music Store, following that up with an Xserve would be like following up a Lamborghini demo with a city bus.
Agreed, PowerMac speed bumps are not going to wow the crowd much. It's got to be the G5 iMac.
I predict new iMacs in Tokyo, and speed bumped PowerMacs by early February.
.so that mine can be the "fastest Mac ever" for a few more weeks
Yes, I am soon to be dethroned too.
Such is life in this business.
