No Keynote at Apple Expo Paris
Apple announced that, contrary to expectations, there will be no opening keynote speech at Apple Expo Paris on September 20 through 24.
Instead, Apple executives will host a question-and-answer session for the media, according to Macworld.
In a move possibly designed to lessen press attention, Apple revealed the information on a U.S. holiday weekend.
Steve Jobs has been the traditional Expo keynote speaker, although the announcement of the iMac G5 at Paris Expo 2004 was made by Phil Schiller while Jobs was undergoing medical treatments.

I'm confused. It states that "Apple on Monday said there will be no.....", yet it's only 2am. :confused: :confused:
I didn't know Apple released press releases at 1am.

Jobs: Well--
writer, interrupting: I'M SICK OF YOUR LIES!! WHERE IS KATIE'S-- err... MY POWERBOOK G5?

You can't help but feel that it is just one slap in the face after another. How on earth can their stock price being doing so well when their so called 'exciting power pc updates' have so far yielded nothing new or exciting?

No "exciting power pc updates" were promised, only "great" in the same breath that current offerings were called "great". :( I wouldn't expect anything more than speed bumps before next year.

Pedant! There's been nothing 'great' since the intel announcement IMHO. Maybe this is how Steve punishes think secret for publishing the specs of the new powerbooks over a month and a half early. Damn him.

I'd been feeling down that I hadn't planned to go to Paris... but now I'm less bothered.
My attempt at positive thinking is that whatever that 'great' product is; it's not ready for launch yet? Alternatively, the orginal plan was to unveil whatever's coming tomorrow in Paris but then they figured that they wouldn't get enough US press there so they did the music event instead leaving them with nothing to show in Paris.

That's how the Apple PR machine works, everything is put into hyperbolic terms. The most important note on PPC to come out of that keynote was "as we look ahead we can envision some amazing products we want to build for you and we don't know how to build them with the future PowerPC road map." That amount of negativity at a Stevenote (a least when describing Apple products!) is almost unheard of. I think he was trying to be very clear that "amazing" (translation: pretty nice) new products wouldn't be appearing until 2006.[ Read All Comments ]
