What's your guess for the TWO NEW PRODUCTS?

My guess:

1) New iMac G5
2) PowerBook G5...but only in the 17"

My wish:

Besides the new iMac, I'm hoping for something that we never thought of...something completely new in Apple's product line.

17" iMac G5
20" iMac G5

There's two products. At WWDC, there were three trapdoors (for the three new displays).

update from France...

during Phil's demo of Tiger, there is a Document entitled "New Products Demos"...that's PLURAL!

Are you guys as excited as I am?
There are definitely two new things coming our way!

And several Apple online stores are down around the world, indicating new stuff!

You could be right Barto...but the document during Phil's speech said "DEMOS"...indicating more than one prodict to demo!

Sorry guys...the actual title of the document in question is:
"New Products Demo"

Hmmmm...only minutes until we know for sure!

It's white in color, and the crowd is going wild. It has a grey Apple logo on front. Everyhting fits together right behind the display. - posted by Bryan


[4:32 AM] It looks like just a Cinema Display with a DVD slot loader on right side towards the top. Aluminum foot. It's the world's thinest desktop computer, at less than 2" thick. - posted by Bryan

[4:35 AM] SuperDrive. 1.8 GHz G5. 600 MHz frontside bus. 400 MHz DDR RAM, up to 2 GB. Serial ATA hard drives, AGP 8X graphic slots. The speakers are mounted on the bottom, so they reflect off the desk, up to the user. The keyboard will slide underneath the display when you are not using it.

There are three 5 USB (3 2.0, 2 1.1), two FireWire, a modem slot, Ethernet (10/100 Base-T), audio-in, audio-out, both headphone and optical), power button on the bottom. - posted by Bryan


[4:34 AM] "Everyone is ging to be asking "where does the computer go?"

All of the connectors are on the left side, all in a row. Again, the crowd is going wild. - posted by Bryan

So basically if you took a 17" laptop and turned the screen round so it faced out when it was shut and then stood it up you have the new iMac... but with a G5 in it! WOW!!

Looks like a G5 portable might be possible sooner than we think......

I was in Paris this morning. I have seen two trap doors on the stage. Then it was a true information.
Only the left one has been used to lift the new iMac G5 (iMac use to be in lift
in Paris ). The right one had to be a spare one .

The apple expo was realy crowdy, mainly around the new iMacs which look to be very interesting computers.

I think the other trap door was for Phil, with Steve's finger on the trigger button, back in Cupertino... just in case.
