POLL: What will be introduced at the Paris Mac Expo Sept. 25?

[netdog]

Well, the iPhone announcements are all out of the way. Nothing new to show on that front, but Steve is in Paris.

So what are we going to get on the 25th?

New Mac Pro announcements now that Intel has officially introduced and demoed Penryn?

Leopard dates?

New ACDs?

Something else?

Prove to all of us that YOU are the master prognosticator.

And CHECK ALL THAT APPLY

10.5 will get a ship date and Apple will say they partnered with Orange for the iPhone in France.

 

[docprego]

New or updated Mac Pro (hopefully totally new!) and Leopard release date.

Where's the option for nothing? Is there even going to be an Apple keynote? Doesn't seem like they've announced anything there since the iMac G5 in 2004...

 

[MacNut]

I would assume all of the above.

 

[0007776]

I'm predicting we see the same thing as last year.

 

[fivetoadsloth]

Im guessing we might see some sort of AppleTv Update

 

[Peace]

I'm thinking this year we might actually see something of substance since Jobs is trying to get the EU on his good side.Who knows maybe he's taking a vacation in Paris after Orange announced the iPhone in France.

So far there are no indications there will even be a keynote.

They Can't Announce New Mac Pro Until It Ships With Leopard - November

New or updated Mac Pro (hopefully totally new!) and Leopard release date.

They can't do the Mac Pro before Leopard ships 'cause of supply build up time and 'cause it would kill all current Mac Pro sales in the mean time. There are still a vast majority that pay no attention to when models are changing and will buy Quad Core Mac Pros right up to the announcement date. Look for long Mac Pro Online order shipping dates to pre-date the announcement in early November.

10.5 will get a ship date and Apple will say they partnered with Orange for the iPhone in France.

Zactly. This will be a SteveNote all about Leopard and when it will ship - Friday October 26 (my guess)

Steve Too Famous For Long Lead Time To Announce His Paris Appearance

So far there are no indications there will even be a keynote.

Steve is too famous to pre-announce something like this. It will be kept a secret until tomorrow or Monday.

How can I edit the poll to make some additions?

I do think that iTMS movie rentals could be announced. AppleTV upgrades or firmware updates are a possibility too.

Also, it's a longshot, but the ultraslim optical-free books are a possibility too. Since 9to5 has published on these, they are certainly going to appear at some point, and pre-Xmas would be perfect timing.

Jobs did say that 2007 would be a great year for the Mac.

I would hope for some iPhone/touch upgrades - new icons (syncing notes).

Sales and Leopard will likely dominate.

Ultraportable macbook would rock.

I just hope something happens...anything
