No sooner did Apple reveal its latest, the video iPod, than it started the rumor mill churning again — this time with an invitation to reporters to an unveiling of its "latest pro innovations" Wednesday in New York.
The PhotoPlus Expo kicks off the next day in the city’s Jacob Javits Convention Center. It’s widely believed that Apple will be showing off updated PowerBooks and Power Macs, which had been scheduled for release last month in Paris. Some observers believe the refresh may just be an attempt to keep consumers buying while they await Apple’s new line of Intel-based computers, due out next year.
"The big announcement surrounding Apple will be the Intel announcement next year," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, said. "That’s when you’re going to see the really great stuff; that’s when we will get our socks knocked off."
