Last week, we received anonymous tips from two different sources that hint at an Apple media event in late March - possibly March 24th. Apple is said to be announcing a new Mac mini, iMacs with the new NVIDIA chipset,
March would be fairly expected, given the rumors and speculation surrounding iMac and Mac mini updates in the first part of this year, especially recent rumors (plus monthy) which point to March. That being said, an event may not necessarily be needed for these updates.

Mac Pros with Xeon processors
If so, it'll probably just be an announcement with a later release, as Gainestown won't even be released then.

along with a pleasant 'surprise'.
Really now? I think the "surprise" is basically the main reason for this event, with the other hardware updates being just icing on the cake. Now I hope this "surprise" is the long-rumored mini-tablet, although I really don't know.

While we have no way of proving the credibility of the sources, recent information that we have obtained has led us to believe that the information may be correct.
I hope so…

Here's to seeing a preview of Snow Leopard thrown in the mix!
Believe me, I'd like to see this too.

It's amazing how one analyst that has a main focus on Apple can predict wrong over and over...and still keep his job. Quad Core iMacs in the beginning of 2009, that's not even available yet from Intel is it?
There are mobile quad-cores and low-power desktop quad-cores (that might be low-power enough to fit in the iMac) out now.
