Apple Updates Next Week?

Under comments to an iPod/May 2nd story on Macnn, one anonymous reseller indicates that there will be further updates next week:


    Apple is trying hard to get product to their Apple Specialist dealers. We received 16 of the first 17" PowerBooks in the county even before any of the Apple retail stores and any catalog vendors. Apple has in the past screwed the Apple dealers, but I think Apple is working to make this relationship better. Granted it still needs a lot of work, but it's starting to get better. For instance I received word Friday on something that's supposed to happen next week (won't tell you) but it's the first time Apple has actually shared this type of information before they officially announced to the public.

comm device or tablet maybe. I doubt it is the emac upgrade simply because it would cause a discrepancy in current shipping numbers but not necessarily a new item which seems to be implied by the passage.

Macwhispers claims the MiniTablet is still several months away, so the mystery communication device seems (slightly) more likely.

If accurate, this could be interesting.

I think its going to be an eMac update or something like that. If this is true then Apple would not have told the sellers about a major update or new product like an iTablet.

well no wonder apple doesnt tell resellers this, because of IDIOTS like this guy. this is why get the short end of the stick ebcause anything secret they blab it to the first rumors site they can find. this guy is an idiot and makes me mad, i hope apple finds out who said this, these are the people who should be deauthorized.

While I'd like this to be a 970, I don't have much (any?) hope for it. My guess would be the keyboard that we got the new photos of.

The fact that this is a store talkin (allegedly, could be some kid in college trying to get a laugh), that would imply a hardware or boxed software intro.

I would bet its the PowerBook 15". MiniTablet hyper crap put out by MacWhispers, a guy who can't even run an investment "company" or even nail obvious iPod HD sizes and regularly pulls rumors out of his rear orifice has no credability whatsoever. Hes right down there with Ryan Meader and MacOSWaitForSomeoneToUpdateSoICanPostTheirInfoAsMyRumors.com and SpyiWalkMac.com (which spawned Jack Campbell and MacWhispers.com).

My money is on whatever ThinkSecret puts out. They really do have an inside track, somehow. If ThinkSecret said 970 PowerPCs in June, I'd plan on it. If MacWhispers says 970 PowerBooks, I laugh, shake my head and close the window (FireWire/USB cable claims never connected to the iPod notwithstanding).

I couldn't help but comment on this.

I believe we will see a Mini-Tablet later in the year, and I enjoy Macwhispers for its different method of collecting info. Jack Campbell has had some accurate predictions, and I'm willing to bet he's on to something with the mini-tablet (it just sounds like an Apple thing).

Also, MOSR doesn't post what other people have already said. Other people are far more accurate than that. He just makes stuff up mostly.

SpyMac is more of a Photoshop site than a rumor one. I enjoy looking around their gallery occassionally.

Just my thoughts.

What has MacWhispers been correct about? The only thing that comes to mind is something to do with the firewire/usb cable. As for the "different" method of collecting info, I'm not sure what in reality it entails, but the only difference I see is that it has been consistently wrong.
