Oct 12 Event For Power Macs & Powerbooks? [Updated]
Contrary to information posted by AppleInsider yesterday, Think Secret now claims that Apple will use the October 12 media event to release newly updated versions of the Power Mac and Powerbook. Think Secret does not provide any speculations to what the upgrades might entail.
Their source claims that Apple is not likely to release a competitor to the new iPod nano this early, for fear of cannibalizing sales of the high-margined nano. The iPod nano was introduced September 7, 2005.
Of note, MacOSXRumors first reported that Apple would be releasing new products as soon as next week. One of these products is expected to be a new Dual Core PowerMac.

Rumor mongering....bleh
We obviously won't know till it happens - which is what Apple wants. Makes you wonder if they pass out false rumors sometimes just to muddy the waters.

The Apple Store UK currently has a 2-3 week wait for 15" Superdrive Powerbooks suggesting that it might well happen.

Appleinsider and Think Secret are/were BOTH sites accussed of leaking Apple info.Now both are supposedly leaking two different scenerios ??
Perhaps changes in Powermacs,Powerbooks AND Wireless..

I don't understand the curtains metaphor on the invitation if the event is to announce new PowerPC products.
A video-capable iPod, iTunes Video Store, or a home media box seems more likely to me.

I'm just itching to buy something. I keep almost buying a refurb, but I keep having to convince myself to wait. I don't care what it is, as long as I can get a good PowerMac for a reasonable price, I'm buying it as soon as I can. Yeah, I'm a dork, but I need a new machine and I just keep waiting. :frustrated: I don't blame Apple, or even IBM, I just want one now!
I hope this is true.

I still have a feeling it will be a combined pro line upgrade and then the one more thing will be the iPod AV. Rumours seem to be flying out of the Chinese production plants they are already being manufactured.
