As the title states ... are there any rumors as to when the next media event may be? I am particularly interested as I am hoping this will be an event which updates the desktop range of Macs.
Got a tip for us?

https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/6402419/ <-- My thoughts as to why an iMac speed bump is due in 2-4 weeks.
PS. The next updates for iMac's will be speed bumps of current models, which wouldn't justify a big announcement at MacWorld anyway.
I agree with the ~4-week estimate, but I think there is a bigger architectural change coming, isn't there? The current iMac is a Penryn processor sitting on a Santa Rosa board; it is my understanding that they aren't yet Montevina.
The current iMac chip is a quasi-Montevina (I won't get into it), and it's true that the next speed bumps would probably include a proper full Montevina.
The next big change to iMac's will probably be Quad-core, which in most peoples minds can't happen until mid-2009, hence why a speed bump in the next >4 weeks is more likely than not.
theoretically the new MBP and I think MB can take 8GB now with 2 4GB DDR3 sticks. Apple officially only supports up to 4GB. That'll be changing within 8-9 months anyhow.
