![]() ![]() Or maybe they’ll do away with the Shuffle and just do cheaper, smaller nanos. The iPod Shuffle has been around a while now and seems the most likely candidate for an upgrade, considering the nano and everything. Mac is due to go down for scheduled maintenance from 7:00am to 12:00pm PST tomorrow, it certainly seems like something big will happen there – but maybe that’s just to support iWeb.Ĭonsidering the impact of iPods on Apple’s bottom line it would seem like some announcement there would be mandatory. Then there are these rumours, which may be premature, about Front Row 2.0 becoming available for every Mac and having the ability to stream, with some nifty caching, full movies and the like from your iDisk. Saying that, spreadsheet applications hardly set the world on fire anyway, so I don’t see this as being a major thing. iWork is nice, but hardly set the world on fire thanks to the lack of a spreadsheet application. There is also speculation about an upgrade to iWork, which wouldn’t be suprising. I downloaded the public beta for Sandvox today, I’m not sure what the differences are between these two apps yet.Īnything for podcasters? Well, iWeb could incorporate podcast-savvy blogging and it would be surprising if GarageBand didn’t gain something in that department.

It just doesn’t do the things people want to do on the web these days. Mac appears to be woefully lacking lately. We know there will be iLife ’06 – every year this suite gets an upgrade and a mention of this appeared accidentally on the iLife support pages last week, along with mention of iWeb, which sounds like a new desktop application that will work with. It would make more sense to save Leopard until WWDC in the summer, particularly as you have to wonder how much of it would be ready to be shown. Leopard isn’t expected to be released until the end of the year or the beginning of next year, with Apple keeping plenty under its hat until Windows Vista makes it out into the world. New iBooks and a new Mac Mini perhaps?Ī preview of Leopard? I would say probably not. Once it seemed these wouldn’t show up any time appear before Spring, but it’s perfectly possible for them to be previewed now and made available later. ![]() We can only wonder what Steve Jobs can announce at Macworld tomorrow, but it will be interesting to find out.įor starters, rumours of Mactels making an appearance over the last few months seem too strong to ignore. ![]()
