“Reliable sources have indicated that an Apple product announcement is in the works for Tuesday, but sources have been unable to nail down the specifics of the announcement,” Ryan Katz reports for Think Secret.
Katz reports, “Sources have placed a reasonable degree of certainty on an announcement surrounding displays, however, suggesting a price cut at the minimum or a new line of displays entirely.”
“Should Apple upgrade its displays, an update to its Mac Pro line of computers could also be reasonably expected, as Apple typically upgrades the two in tandem,” Katz reports.

MacScoop in late December reported that “the next generation of Apple Cinema Displays could feature a built-in iSight, HDMI connectivity as well as support for HDCP. New sizes could appear in the line-up: the 23 inch model may be replaced by a 24 inch one while a larger model may broaden the line-up.”

RUMOR: Apple 8-Core Mac Pro, new Cinema Displays due in January – December 30, 2006
really.
iwork. come on. its 2007 already.
it’s gotta be iWork.
I really hope so. But I am most excited about the upcoming OS release.
A Mac Pro upgraded with Leopard, maybe…..
That is the only way I would buy one right now.
Don’t click the link to Think Secret
Yes, the Think Secret story is totally pointless and without substance.
I still hope Apple announces something!
dear Buudah, let the new Mac Pro’s be ready so i can launch them tomorrow. There’s a guy in colorado that really is torn between buying a refurb or waiting for the new Mac Pros… and i’m sick of waiting.. i mean, he’s sick of waiting… he needs a Mac Pro NOW!
Yep, all the pieces are falling into place: the built in iSight to seamlessly tie in to some future iPhone….
Hasta la vista, Vista.
Surely it would be PR madness to release anything this week, unless it was a show stopper? Let the media get their fill of the ‘big’ Vista launch this week and then take the attention away starting next week with a series of launches.
Why let Vista even get out of Gates sphincter? Announce tomorrow, ship Wednesday and cut them off at the news BEFORE the MS BS machine gains ANY momentum.
New iPod. The product line is getting just a bit stale and Apple needs something to generate excitement and generate sales until the iPhone comes out. The Beatles?
Mac mini with Core 2 Duo is overdue. It is the only remaining Intel-based Mac that still hasn’t been updated with this newest CPU.
And how about a Mac mini Pro? I see this as a beefed up model designed as a high-end home entertainment center component in a bit larger form factor than the basic mini. It should have a faster CPU, larger hard drive (or two), 128 or 256MB of separate video RAM, a BlueRay optical drive, and maybe even an extra gigabit Ethernet port.
A 12″ MacPro.
New Cinema, LCD displays with iSight.
Apple Cinema 30-, 43- and 50-inch LCD TVs with HDMI, HDCP and two digital ATSC/QAM tuners.
However, some of these might not be possible until after Leopard has been introduced, because they may need new Leopard features that have not yet been revealed.
I sure would like a spanky new Apple monitor. My big old Mitsubishi CRT is pretty creaky at this point. Can’t even remember when I bought it… 1998?
Anyway, it’d be nice to see new Apple LCDs with faster response, iSight, HDM…
My 30-inch Cinema Display is two years old now, and even Dell and HP make ’em too, but cheaper! Time for larger display or more pixels per inch please Apple. Get back ahead of the curve.
While we’re at it, can you please make MacPro accept any ATi or nVidia graphics card? Actually, all you need do is open the drivers to support them.
After all, I can put any third party hard disk or memory in my Mac, why should I be stuck with limited range of graphics cards?
Would mean my dual-boot Mac is better for gaming, and I could ditch my gaming PC.

Hardly has the excitement from Macworld faded and yet there are more new products?
Is Apple on steroids..???

What’s with the negative stuff about ThinkSecret? It’s one of the more reliable rumor sites. Even Apple included it on its list of sites to sue for leaking real information a while back. As trusted a site as a rumor site can be (whatever that means) to me. I clicked the link immediately – especially since I’m chomping at the bit to get a new display!
Apple isn’t on steroids. They’re just well organized.
I would like to get 17″ Cinema. No, really I would like to get 30″ Cinema, but there’s no way it’ll fit. And MB can’t handle it.
So. Gimme my goddamn Cube /w X1900 XT, 2xFW, FW800, 4xUSB2.0, 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM.
That would fit and so would 30″. Tight but would fit. White Cube, mmmm… Like white chocolate, mmm…. 😀
Hg Wells, your namesake would have known that the correct expression is “CHAMPING at the bit” (not “chomping”). Look it up.
While we’re at it, the expression is “Far from the madding crowd” and not “maddened” or “maddening”. Madding means frenzied. (Look it up!)
And biblical phrase is “THE LOVE OF money is the root of all evil.” Most people forget the first three words. Leaving them out alters the moral and religious meaning significantly.
The Apple Store has the “Be back soon!” post-it up!
Its true, still has the be back soon, we are updating the site notice up.
It’s back…nothing!?
It better be iWork…my 30 day trial for ’06 is almost up. Come on Apple, work with me here.
iPod shuffle available in five colors now: blue, pink, green, orange and its original silver.
No other new products will be announced today – store is back online.
maybe lcds w/ built-in isigth and tvs w/ hdmi connector do the appletv…we have to wait until we see it.
Apple will not release iWork ’07 or iLife ’07 until Leopard is released. The software requires new frameworks that are only in Leopard. You will see that Apple’s (and other 3’rd party developers’) newer software will require an upgrade to Leopard. iLife and iWork ’06 will be last version for Tiger.
