“Apple’s already told us that it’ll be unveiling the Software Development Kit (SDK) to open up the iPhone and iPod touch to third party apps sometime this month. Now it’s starting to look like February 26 will be the day,” Stuff.tv reports.
“Crafty Apple-watchers have spotted that the TV firm Apple uses for its launch announcements is hiring for a big event then – a telling clue that it might be the day,” Stuff.tv reports.
“We’re likely to see several apps to launch at the same time as the SDK, including moderately dull but useful support for Exchange and Lotus Notes… Since Apple’s promised us a year of continuous announcements, we also reckon we could hear of an update to the MacBook Pro,” Stuff.tv reports.

Hope this stuff is ready to go – panic is obvious in Cupertino in an effort to salvage AAPL. Won’t work if this stuff won’t work.
Besides, the only thing in this speculation that has any possibility of really helping is an update of MacBook Pro or, hopefully, any of the other Mac computers – most especially MacPro!
From what I mentioned before, It may also be Time Capsule that I saw….so maybe nevermind.
A MacBook Pro update is possible.
The last release was June 5th, 2007.
Days since last MBP update = 249. The average is 186.
The Mac Pro was updated 32 days ago. The average is 217.
Not bloody likely.
Pig air would really sell!
Yawn! The announcements better be better than that with tanking stock prices. Please remove all OBAMA banners from this site. This is technology, not politics!!!
“Pig air would really sell!”
Down here in the South, we just call ’em pork rinds.
A big fat-ass table touch thingy.
@Ampar
Do you really consider what they did 32 days ago with MacPro was anything that anyone would notice the difference in from the model being updated?
I’m looking for speed, power, stability, reliability, and the ability to run Apple’s own pro software without producing spinning beach balls or frozen screens. Damn.
“Anyone know when Microsoft’s Zune updates are going to be announced?”
I didn’t expect such a stupid question from you. We all know the Zune is so perfect, it doesn’t need updates.
Nobody, but nobody, mentions ACD’s
and they’re the longest ‘un-updated’ Apple product … By far!
Re: Mac Pro Update
Good point. The last significant update was April 4th, 2007. So yes, it’s possible.
Amazing….Apple stock dropping like a rock and MDN starts pumping out the RUMORS of new products to counter the negative Apple reality…
hmmm, what’s ACD ?
ACD = Apple Cinema Display
thanks papy!
Special guest speaker is Bill Gates. Apple is reviving the Evangelist program and he’s the first hire. You’ll see him with jeans and the black mock turtleneck on stage along with Jobs. It’s going to be exciting because a direct live feed via secret camera will be in Ballmers office with DD 5.1 piping through the new ATV updated device. Attendants will see Ballmer going ballistic and throwing chairs, tables and users all over the place. hehe
New HDMI interface for Audio/Video output.
Upgraded graphics for true HD capability.
I’m betting on iTunes film rentals and no new hardware.

actually something will be coming. SDK is obvious. macbook pro update will be possible. special event seems to be focus on mac rather than iphone or other stuff. well, it’s just my feeling.
Apple is going to, among other things, revise it’s displays and computers with HDMI connections. Wonder why HD downloads for iTunes are restricted to the Apple TV. It’s about DRM and copy protection. No way will Hollywood allow HD content out a regular DVI output. The new Macs with HDMI will be enabled for HD content and the old ones will not.
The 20″ Cinema and iMac will also get a resolution bump to support native HD.
This is not the main event, just a part of the iTunes Rental Official Launch.
This is the year of HD at Cupertino.
