Though to be honest, Apple haven't made a big deal of this announcement - they invited people at short notice and haven't publicised it. I guess it's just us all wanting something BIG, as usual :)

Here we go again. The mini goes up by $100 in the US, so what's the increase in the UK? That's right £80! That'd be $140 if you were wondering...

1) Mac Mini. Same form-factor, single & dual Intel versions. Has Front Row which has new function - ability to share iTunes library through subnetwork. Oh, and Photots & Videos too! 2) As predicted, iPod HiFi. Oh, and iPod cases. 3) Er, there wasn't a number 3. That was it.

6pm (GMT) I think.

Just a thought, but possible additions to the Macbook Pro range as well (such as a 17" for example). Not as the "main event", but maybe an aside.

Big. And Black. And very expensive.

A Quad Intel 30" Black iMac, 16x Superdrive, 2x500GB HD, ludicrous graphics card, 4GB RAM. Costing some.

Shake's compositing software, Motion is really motion-graphics software. Motion is also an Apple designed product, whereas Shake is one they bought and have since modified. When I said "Motion-Pro" I was thinking of something that would be Apple's answer to AE with bells & whistles, rather than...

No.

Of course, if Apple are really on the ball they could be about to release a raft of new software products to cash-in on the fact that some of the bigger developers seem a bit slow. Motion Pro as a rival to AE? That could be quite neat.

Ah, it was the phrase "Apple's Pro Apps" that deceived me! I did notice that the new version of AE wasn't Universal and had wondered why that was - you've enlightened me on that one! Um, but they don't make Premiere for the Mac anymore y'know - and I wouldn't exactly describe it as a "pro"...

A few of things... 1) I may not have been ENTIRELY serious about the PowerMac's going Intel next week (but I'd like 'em too). Fact is, Intel haven't formally announced the new chip that'll go in the new PowerMac (or whatever it'll be called) yet, so it's an almost certain no-no. 2)...

I confidently predict a replacement for the G5 Powermac line-up, using Intel's all-singing, all-dancing new processor which doesn't have a proper name yet. And isn't due to be released till much later in the year. But what the hell, this is Apple! I like surprises...

Just a thought, but does the extra speed from the Core Duo compensate at all for the lag caused by Rosetta?

The basic MacBook Pro is 2k USD - same as the basic 15" Powerbook. The basic iMac is 1299 USD - same as it was before. In the UK there is a markup on both of 30 GBP over the previous versions. Just noticed on the European stores the MacBook is actually priced up by 100 EUR. As for component...

Has anyone noticed (in the UK) that prices for the Macbook Pro & New iMac are higher than their predecessors? Why's that then? US prices are the same as they were before, but for some reason we've taken (an albeit smallish) price hit? What's it like elswhere in the world?

Just a couple of thoughts... 1) Might the move away from FW800 not be a precursor to the adoption of 1394c - I might have misunderstood but I believe it will combine hot-pluggability, fast transfer rates and networking features (ie. replace ethernet) all into a single standard? 2) That remote...

The Apple Store sell 'em (£15 & £25).

What I want to know is when do we get a wireless Mighty Mouse?

7.99gbp (14.50ish usd).
