Rumor: Apple event the last week of February
TUAW has received a tip that the company that does television for Apple's live events and Macworld is apparently hiring for an unannounced Apple event at the end of February. Keep in mind that this is an unconfirmed rumor -- while TUAW trusts our source, job listings are not available on the video company's website, and Apple has not yet announced any events happening this month. But Apple did promise us a year flush with announcements, and starting with the new Mac Pros all the way up to the bigger iPhones and iPod touches last week, they haven't disappointed yet.And what would the event be about? Considering that we've got our ultraportable already, and our HD Apple TV, what big news are we possibly hoping to hear in "the end of February"?
This is just a rumor, so don't get too excited yet. But if it is true, and if Apple is holding an event before the end of the month, get ready, baby. We just might be about to see the iPhone SDK.

While I don't like the massive amount of blank space in your comment.
I cannot agree more with you. It will more than likely be the SDK announcement. But damn do I want to have an announcement about some new MacBook Pros. I want to get one, but I'm holding out until they reveal a newer one with the latest Intel processors and the multi-gesture touchpad.

This is not news. Apple has said all along the SDK was coming at the end of February.

Buddy, the news is not the SDK. The news is the Apple event. Which IS news.

I still get a feeling of dread over the SDK. I just have a feeling it's going to be severely crippled unless you pay a hefty fee to Apple.

They will eventually, but I doubt it will be any time soon though. It seems the marking scheme that apple is using between the ipod touch and iphone is that the ipod touch is always one step ahead of the iPhone in the amount of disk space.
Once we have a 64GB iPod touch... we will have a 32GB iPhone

Dear god, I hope I don't have to wait until the end of the month for 10.5.2. I was honestly expecting them to ship that one already and I'll be very annoyed if it's not out by Tuesday next week. Too many bugs in Leopard and not enough fixing unless I'm prepared to wait months, and that's too slow. More smaller releases are preferable to a few "big bang" patches.

Seems most likely that the SDK will be announced, but I sure hope Mac Mini's will be updated soon. It's been a while since they've seen the love, and I'm getting to the point where I really need one.

New Aperture?
Reply
Phil said 6:43PM on 2-07-2008
I'm hoping for new Aperture too, as the Aperture user community is in open rebellion at this point, but I'm guessing it will be the iPhone SDK, and Aperture will continue to bleed users to Lightroom/Bridge.
Thayne Miller said 2:04AM on 2-20-2008
uh... is aperture 2 too old for you already? It was only released last week.....
Barry said 4:57PM on 2-07-2008
I would think that the SDK itself would not warrant a full scale Apple event. Is it too early to think they would introduce a new iphone? Considering the lead time for FCC approval, I would think this would be the time to introduce a 3G version of the iphone.
It would be great to see some other updates as well- maybe a new macbook with the same aluminum enclosure as the -Air and -Pro models as well.

I agree - a whole event for an SDK? Hopefully they'll give us a clue soon though, my mobile contract is up in two weeks, and I'm still on the wall about the iPhone: looks like my old N70 might have to last a couple of weeks longer than expected!
