Something is Coming... [Updated]

Monday June 16, 2003 3:18 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
A few more notes:



- MacBidouille's readers had posted on their forums regarding new boxes from Apple that had arrived at a FNAC -- a computer/department story in France with instructions not to open before Monday, June 23rd. The post claims two box sizes... one which is speculated to be laptop sized, while the other is described as much larger. Speculation and discussion are ongoing in this Page 2 thread.



Interestingly enough, Apple Stores are also receiving palettes this week which are not to be opened until Monday afternoon (June 23rd). These reports indicate that at least some new products with immediate availability after WWDC's opening day. It is unknown if there is the same sizes as described by MacBidouille's readers.



- Mac-TV.de claims that Apple Germany has stated that there will be no web-stream of the event.



- The invitation for the German Apple Broadcast event hypes WWDC further (updated translation by Stike):




    Discover the Future with the Apple



    Apple Germany invites you to a breathtaking event in the heart of Europe.



    Watch the keynote of Steve Jobs from the WWDC in San Francisco via satellite.



    For Audio, Video, Publishing and Mediaprofessionals will it be an unforgettable event. News will await you, which will top all your previous expectations on speed.



    Be ready for a new age of computing on 23.06.2003 starting 6 pm.



(Please note that this is an invite-only event)

What's in the big boxes ?

I'd laugh if it was just new iMacs or something after all the 970 hype.

Of course that would be an insane laugh, I'd be crying with disappointment really.

My money's on new 15" PowerBooks (G4, not G5). And who says the big boxes only hold one item? Maybe they're filled with lots of smaller boxes, like a new Digital Lifestyle Device (camera, anyone?).

What's interesting is that this immediately lends support to MacBidouille's arguments... assuming that they all come from the same general source (not necessarily the same person).

I would expect xserves,&powermacs but it could be the 15" book & powermacs. Really you arent going to be showing off a 64 bit system on a 32 bit machine are you???Apple has needed this for the past year lets hope its good.

Does anyone have any idea why Germany iis such a big deal? the only thing I can think and trust me this is a HUGE guess is maybe Porsche helped with the design. They have done industrial deisgn before and even worked with apple on the Newton eMate. Just a thought or should I say a shot in teh dark. the very very dark.

Man, this WWDC si getting so hyped. I really hope it isnt going to be a let down. I'm getting that feeling again like when you were a kid and you knew the next day you were going to disneyland and you were to anxious to go to sleep.

Come on Apple, break the status quo again!
