Damn it. I was just going to call and order my MBP tonight!

I know, new ones are probably around the corner, but year end business claim plus a $125 off coupon expires by years end.

Although as you say, it's likely the tablet thing. The CrunchPad is dead and resurrected as the JuJu. From all accounts, it's pretty slick. And while Apple doesn't necessarily need to be first out of the gate (heck, PC tablets came and went), it doesn't hurt to trump anything that might gain traction.

However, I could see a quick update to some hardware in addition to the tablet unveiling. Afterall, this is in essence Apple's MacWorld, on their schedule. It's thankfully pushed back for Apple staff to finally enjoy the holidays for a change. I can't see any other new product that would require a special event. As we've seen lately, hardware upgrades are now simply updated online.
