Apple special event on Sept. 25

I doubt there will be any new hardware,except perhaps a photo handy, which I doubt. I expect an upgrade to Aperture to V1.2 or 2.0 and possibly other photo related software (Final cut etc)

Its a photo exhibition, not a computer show so I would not expect any new hardware until the Mac Expo (?) in late winter.

As for the idea that Apple wouldnt make new product launches outside of the USA... I find that a bit xenophobic to be honest. They are a business and if they were going to release say an Apple DSLR then why not at the worlds most important photographic exhibition?

It WILL be Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro's. Betcha!

I suppose thereis an upgraded MacBook with some ultra-portable photomanagement concept-mojo. Or nothing will happen, just some new program upgrade..typical Apple =P

I'll vote for something iPod related whether movies or stills or even core animation. My guess is based on how Apple was refered to on the Photokina website. It could be a new device or simply adding functionality to the existing equipment. However the Special Event hints more towards some hardware device.

A digital camera. But I think Apple's done with the iNaming so how about something that implys speed but relates to the capturing of photos.. Quicktake? anyone?

No seriouly I think #30 has the best bet. Update to Aperature and the displays are getting a little old now so new glossy *options* and built in iSight especially as iSight the standalone product is now illegal for sale in UK/Germany/rest of Europe.
.

How about a glossy screen option of imacs? then I'd buy one. That would make sense for photographers surely..

It's probably just Aperture. It's a professional show so I doubt they'd make any mention of iPhoto and photo-capable iPods. Cameras: maybe, but I don't think Apple's ready for the camera market yet.

Of course, it could be a completely new piece of software, maybe something like Photoshop, but my money's on an Aperture update.

I don't think it really matters what country they unveil stuff in, as it will be covered globally anyway.

ROFL, Christiaan (2 "A"'s?), you need a star for that one.

I'm all for new cinema displays with iSight and IR recievers, Yuri, but remember at WWDC, they came out with the cheaper, brighter, more contrast-y (?) displays, so I doubt this will happen.

Mikey, have you ever heard of "Apple Expo Paris", believe it or not, they release Apple products for America there, and it is held in Paris, France.

I think it would be cool if Apple came out with a digital camera line with matching branding to the rest of Apple's products (for the obsessive compulsive in all of us): Cam (small, white/black plastic "designer" camera, similar to the sony cyber shots) and Cam Pro (brushed aluminum, uses attachable zoom and flash, any standards fit, but Apple boosts there stylish [read: more expensive] flash and zoom attatchments and maybe a video functionality). Of course these would have to be windows compadible, so they would bundle a windows version of iPhoto.

Quicktake is teh haXx0rs!!1!!1!!one!11!!!eleven!!11!1 w00t!!111!!!!!!!1!1one hundered eleven!!!1!!!! [ / Quick Take fanboy]
