Thanks for the link.
A lot of people are saying that today will just be for Software Updates, most people think any updates to Apple's product line will occur on Monday or Tuesday.
I am hoping for an updated iMac G5 20", hopefully a speed bump and a better video card and that will ensure my order. That, coupled with Tiger, will make me a very happy man!

Indeed, wait and see! I hope there's gonna be a speed bump too but don't forget the Apple keynot this summer (I guess the iBook will have a speed bump there).
im hoping for the 9800 mobility chip in the powerbook, i would then buy one straight away.
at the moment im still undecided.
however, upgraded graphics in the imac could make me buy one of those instead.
arg, so many choices...

From what I've heard the PowerMac is a near certainty for an update at NAB.
The iMac update I am so hoping for as I want one soonish, if it isn't announced at NAB then I can't wait until the Keynote this summer so I may have to buy one before then.
C'mon Apple, don't let us down!

they need cheaper widescreen displays...
people buying mac mini's probably can't justify 1000$ for a 20".
Apple needs 300$ 15.4 widescreen (1280x854) and a 450$ 17" display (1440x900)... someday
There might not be a huge demand... but put 2 15.4" screens together and you would have a killer display setup...

indeed it is, im hoping for something big, they wouldnt close it to just add the new final cut pro would they??

Finally it was only Software updates (Final Cut, Motion, Soudtrack etc...)
But as the French site said, the presentation was amazing!

No new mac's, but I REALLY hope that keynote is available for streaming soon
EDIT Store's back

yet for hardware REVISIONS I wouldn't expect a big deal.

If there will be any hardware updates then they will be announced over the next two days (Monday & Tuesday).

Thats what i'm thinking (and I hope, too)
Maybe Hardware updates will come Tuesday? Thats what happened last year 
Well it's tuesday! ....anything new yet?
Nope, maybe around april 29 with the release of Tiger.
one iste i went to, cant remember because i visit 4 rumor sites.. maybe apple insider. suggested teh 26th which is a tuesday, next week. i can only hope. i want a new iMac with 128mb graphics.
one thing that im curious about.. the rumor stars that a 9600 card would be put in. the pwoermacs come with 9600XTs as options.. the 5200 is ultra edition so wouldnt it make sense that the 9600 int he iMac would be an XT? that is if they do put that in.
