That's ********. When are Dell/Lenovo/Whatever Meroms coming out. There's no reason for Apple to be on a different schedule than those companies.
But if that is true, I might cry. I've been waiting since June to get my MBP, and was hoping to get it before I go to school in 3 weeks.
I really wonder why. I thought that its about time for consumer updates - iMacs, iPods and that kind of stuff. And when is the iPhone coming?

Exactly - what happened to the "greatest product pipeline in the history of Apple" ???

I agree. I'm guessing Sept. 5. I hope the MBP inlcudes a user accessible hard drive and new latch system.
A Stevenote would have been great, obviously, but we got by last year without one and we'll get by this year as well. Hopefully there are still some nice product announcements around that time. Hopefully no keynote != no cool announcements.
brepublican said:Well, so much for them PowerBook G5 announcements we've been waiting for...
Do you have any idea how old the PowerBook G5 jokes are by now... ?
Seriously.
So what?
The Apple Expo in Paris is not a big deal anyway. No major announcements are due since all of them were revealed at WWDC. I don't think this contributes to rumors circling around.

You think all of Apple's goodies were released at WWDC and they have no surprises for us in the upcoming month or so? You must be new to the Apple universe.

Well, maybe you get excited. I honestly couldn't care any less with iPod news. I don't like it if they converge too many features into one device. They should perfect it first. All I care about are new mac stuff. If we see a merom mbp, fine. Nothing too big. I only get excited about a true new generation of apple products (imac, mb, mbp, mp, and software) with new features that will really make me go out there and buy it.

It's been a big deal as recently as 2 years ago when the iMac G5 was announced there. Even though any MBP and iMac chip bumps are more likely to be 'silent' releases, it was plausible to think that they might release them at Paris in a mini-keynote.
Last year we learned that Apple is not tied anymore to the big events like MWSF, WWDC and Apple Expo to announce products. So there is no need for anybody to be sad about the fact Steve won't be doing a keynote.
At any time we can get a Special Event and the intro of new products.
I bet before end of October we will see new stuff geared for the holiday season. Specially the ipod.
As for the computers, speed updates will happen without much fanfare on Tuesdays.

For the Keynote... sort of expected it. But then theres the Expo in London after Paris, so you never know. And then theres Macworld after that. So really, not too long for some updates.
35, 57 and 1 minor...in London. Ha, beat that!

Well i sure hope so! I need to get a desktop soon for the school year, but don't want to buy one and then be kicking myself shortly after because they came out with mermon in them and a ram upgrade or even better a new case design with conroe!
This is pretty frustrating I had originally waited for WWDC to see if a new MBP would be released, as i need one for school, and nothing was released so I decided to wait for Paris but now I hear theres no Keynote im getting pretty fed up with waitind, and it would really suck if its not released until nov- jan. Then again I dont want to get it now and have them be updated on a tuesday and the next few weeks... I guess the wait continues
