Apple Expo Paris Booth

Apple Expo Paris starts this week from September 20th to 24th in Paris, France. Despite rumors that Steve Jobs would give the keynote address, Apple announced that there would be no opening keynote speech at Apple Expo Paris.

Several reports (macplus/french, YourMacLife Post) note that part of Apple's booth are covered in black cloth:

Apple's booth looks the same as it always does.....except for the black cloth draping one section of the booth and the absence of Powerbooks and iBooks in the booth.


Although security appears to be tight around the booth, some early photos have been posted including a small glance at the black cloth.
Update: Appleinsider claims there will be one hardware announcement at Apple Expo Paris.

Intel powered laptops so soon? I think Apple would be wasting money to put more investment into a dead processor (PowerPC) at this time. x86 is the future so I would be suprised to see anything big come out of Apple until the Intel models are introduced.

If you are dreaming of some super cool, super fast PPC stuff coming in the next few months...keep dreaming. I am sure that 95% of Apple's resources right now are focused on "Intel Inside."

hmm... no presence of powerbooks and ibooks and a huge drape over a section... guess we wont be seeing anything from apple! :p ;)

oh yea, btw - the ship times for the powerbooks and the ibooks at the apple store are pretty much normal - nothing out of the ordinary - who knows anymore...

Where in those photos is this black cloth supposed to be? In one picture it looks like an area could be blocked off - but in the next you can see that area as well..?!

Maybe i'm a little blind today. :confused:

*edit* ...Ohh, THAT black cloth..yup, I was blind!

Doesn't look like it's hiding anything significant, only a small area seems to be covered.

Probably just slightly speed-bumped PowerBooks—if it's anything notebook related, that is.

I'd say considering there is no keynote and we aren't due for anything intel it's probably just a little speed bump and maybe a new feature (like the scrolling trackpad sort of thing.) I wouldn't expect much more.
