WWDC Delayed, Panther to be Previewed

Check out www.apple.com
WWDC date has been changed.... PPC 970 ???

damn, you beat me to it!

looks set for something good!

ummm, for the people wondering what we are talking about. the apple slpash page changed to advertise WWDC

Come on Panther, i dont see a new PM coming so soon after they were updated...

i think apple will release 970 powermac's as soon as they can. if they are ready for wwdc, then they will be released at wwdc, or later, if they not ready (or not ready in the quantity to satisfy demand)

For the new PowerMac 970s they'd need to redo the OS, right? Makes perfect sense to me....

Also, look forward to paying for Panther if they're making such a big deal about it. And to change the date of a conference, that was probably booked quite a while ago has huge implications. Its not something you do lightly - especially since many people have to change their airline and hotel reservations.

Panther could have been demoed on the original date. This is just another tell-tale sign that Apple is preparing a Panther/970 co-release. The only question left in my mind is weather or not developers will be under NDA to see pre-release 970 machines, or weather they will actually announce 970 based macs.

WWDC's date was changed quite a while ago. I forget the reasons, but I do remember reading about it a month or more ago.

I think it had something to do with them killing off QuickTime Live! and incorporating that into this year's WWDC.

I wouldn't count on seeing any PPC 970 Macs show, unless it's behind closed doors to a select few. For something this big, I'm pretty sure Apple will hold their own huge Apple Event (similar to the iPod release) or wait till they're at a MacWorld.

Yup, seems big. Hopefully its not because steve had a prior engagement on the original day:p

They could announced/previewed at WWDC, but in typical Apple fashion, it may be Aug or Sept before they're available to ship.;)
