March 24th Event to Focus on Software?
Sevenmac.de reports [Google translation] that they have received an anonymous tip that the rumored March 24th Apple special event will focus on software.
Rumors of a March 24th event began circulating just days before Apple released new iMacs, Mac minis and Mac Pros. With that revamp of Apple's entire desktop line having occurred last week, the March 24th rumor was presumed to have been unfounded. This latest tip, however, revives speculation that Apple may yet be planning more releases in the near future.
Sevenmac has now received from an anonymous information source a report that the March 24th event should revolve exclusively around software. More precisely, Apple's video Pro Apps should receive updates or see new versions.
According to Sevenmac, a new version of Final Cut Studio currently exists as an internal beta. The beta version, however, is reported to be buggy, which could force Apple to delay the special event by several weeks. No additional information on other possible software updates for the event are given. It would be unusual for Apple to hold a standalone media event for software updates alone, though further announcements or demonstrations of Apple's upcoming Snow Leopard could conceivably warrant an event.Rumors of a March 24th event began circulating just days before Apple released new iMacs, Mac minis and Mac Pros.

Good! Software or not, let's hope they keep moving along with updates. Although, even if the software is buggy, why would they delay the event? They might as well delay the release of the actual product like they do with so much other stuff.

What your guys' best guess? Should I wait for the event and then get an ipod touch or just get one right now?

FCP and DVDSP and others are long due. Possibly they decided it would be best to coincide with the new features of Snow Leopard and QT. And Snow seems close to completion. Maybe new apps and Snow Leopard March 24. That would be pretty amazing.

I don't see anything major software-related being announced until WWDC (i.e. Snow Leopard) so we'll see what comes of this. Perhaps the new FCP suite or at least a demo of Snow Leopard along with an release date of WWDC? Hmm, even that seems iffy, I think we are more likely to see a full-on demo of Snow Leopard at WWDC along with a release date at that point in time, not earlier. Guess we'll see though!

How about an Aperture update? iPhoto has had new features added, Lightroom 2 has also jumped ahead in terms of features.........

If this is a true event we might see a preview of Snow Leopard. Keep in mind Developers use Mac Pros. The latest seed supposedly doesn't support these machines. I'm guessing they will show off the first "true release candidate" version of Snow Leopard on one of the new Mac Pros.

Yes. That's my guess - Aperture will certainly get some of the new iLife features and more hopefully. Look forward to it....

They aren't going to release any iPods, that's in september, last year they had free iPod touches with the purchase of a new Mac (education customers).
If anything we see Snow Leopard or something totally different..

I don't think we'll see Snow Leopard. They said June, I"m going to go on that initial information as it's the only concrete thing we've got. The seed progress has been impressive though (just in terms of speed of production, I have no idea how it performs as I'm not a developer). New Aperture would be brilliant ... maybe I'll finally learn how to use it then!
