Mac Announcement Rumors

Published by in apple on January 9th, 2006

Well, tomorrow’s Macworld Expo should be exciting. According to ThinkSecret’s article from today, Apple announcements could include any of the following:

  • New portables of some flavor, probably including Intel processors
  • The Mac mini “refashioned as the centerpiece of the digital hub” of the home
  • Feature length pay-per-view streaming film downloads via iTunes and .Mac
  • Revs to iLife suite applications
  • Apple Plasma TVs

Steve’s keynote tomorrow will not be webcast live, but MacDailyNews is going to have a live text-based update page from the convention center. I’d expect an archived video of the keynote to be posted to the web later in the day. (My guess is confirmed.)

I would put my money regarding tomorrow’s announcements on a new iBook tablet laptop, and a small, relatively inexpensive device that will stream iTunes music and videos from your home computer to your TV. I would expect the device would handle HD quality too, not just NTSC or even DVD quality.

More speculations are available from Yahoo Business. Apple had a big impact at the CES last week apparently, even though Steve Jobs wasn’t there!

It will be an exciting day to watch the web for news tomorrow! MacNN has a pre-show photo gallery already online, I know more photos will be coming tomorrow! Thanks to my Mac-insider cousin Devin Henley for the links and scoops! :-)

On this day..
