.Neo Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) Hopefully more about Leopard and it's secret features Mac OS X Leopard should have hit GM by then, or at least on that day. iLife/iWork '07 will probably be released at the same time. Edit: Hoping for new iMacs aswel. Edited February 7, 2007 by .Neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I think Leopard will still be released in the spring, before WWDC '07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osirisX Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 A hint of the Leopard UI? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyX Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I think Leopard will be released at the WWDC2007 and ready to ship. (people seem to forget that spring ends June 21st) iMacs will probably upgrade (and ready to ship). iPhone will be released to USA. (not sure what's happening with other countries) (and ready to ship) About iLife, it's very hard to anticipate. They could release it for Tiger in March and then, in June, they could say "Hey, you thought there were only these new features in iLife? See what we can do in Leopard!" I bet this thing can be released in March. Mac Pros will probably get their upgrade in a month. (March) I think this would make a nice WWDC2007 already. We don't need more actually. But TV displays, for God's sake, would be awesome. I'd buy one at the end of the year, that's obvious for me. I don't really expect stuff from iPods at WWDC2007 And well, I love this new screenshot of Time Machine. I am not really going to use it right now I think, but the background of Time Machine really has improved. It looks much more like space now :D By the way, does the picture also reflect a related iCal's interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osirisX Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Like Apple would copy Dreamscene. It's nothing but a distraction in the end. Although there will be more photocopier comments =/! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brnlahaze Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'd sure go for a price cut. lol. I'm looking at getting my first Mac this year. I went to this last year, and it was well worth the cost. I learned a great deal and got to do some good networking. Plus, 3 of the things I was there had an open bar :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacOSXMan Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 No doubt, I'm getting extremely anxious to see this new GUI :woot: haha I was thinking that too. The calendar matches the iTunes 7/Aperture style (more or less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyX Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Time Machine had that space background from the start, nothing changed so far. If we look at the little video at http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/timemachine.html , and the video of WWDC 2006, the background is just dark and there are stars floating around. Now there's more colors, it's more vivid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundayx Veteran Posted February 9, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2007 I rather time machine be more plain and simple, seems really slow at what you want it to do at the moment, all the animation. Anyways if Apple doesnt hold a special event between now and WWDC, i assume WWDC will all be about Leopard/iLife. They are behind in their release, and Vista is giving them a lot of pressure to release a new OS. Between now and WWDC however, a special event would hopefully update the following: High possibilities Mac Minis to C2Ds MacBook Pro updates Moderate possibilities Video iPod line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Flash based 16gb iPod ;) New OS X I was readin an article on Cnet and it stated that video use for iPod is around 2% of the market :( It's quite a pain to convert videos for the non-experienced user, maybe that's why?

Windam Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'm going to laugh if Illuminous looks like Aero.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osirisX Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'm actually thinking Illuminous was the codename for the iPhone UI. Illuminous was supposed to be: Black, Transparent and Glossy. Guess what, that's what the iPhone is. I'm expecting the Leopard Aqua to be this: Unified toolbars across all applications. A smooth dark metal to replace brushed metal as the idea of having a separate style for apps that are file browsers, representative of real life objects and apps that connect to devices is a good thing. Gel widgets such as scroll bars will be replaced with a more smooth gradient like in iTunes 7 as it will be easier for the vector UI to handle. Core Animation will be heavily used. MAYBE colour choices. As a vector UI would make it insanely easy to do. An update to icons. The folder icons are SO old now. Pinstripe will be removed except for inactive window toolbars. Look in the Dashcode Beta, it doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
