As reported over the weekend, it looks like we might have an announcement tomorrow. Daring Fireball's John Gruber is throwing his predictions into the ring:
...Redesigned Plastic MacBooks, Redesigned (‘Impressive’) iMacs, Updated Minis (Including One That Ships With Mac OS X Server), the Multi-Touch Magic Mouse, and, as the Wildcard Out-There Rumor, Maybe Even Some Sort of Mentioned-Nowhere-Else-But-in-This-Very-Headline Multi-Touch Trackpad Gadget for Desktop Macs That Apple Is Set to Release Tomorrow Morning
Mostly rehashed, but a few new items from here:
- Mac Mini Server (will it be a new OS for the rest of us? Or will it be standard OSX Server for small companies that don't need an Xserve?). Lots of people use these already so not a huge surprise. $999 pricepoint is our guess. Apple is already selling Minis for $499.
- 'Magic Mouse' New name, multi-touch surface on top has been talked about already plenty.
- Multi-touch trackpad for desktops (which would seem to negate the above?) Seems more in the wild guess category but certainly something we'd be interested in. Tune in tomorrow morning.

I have been wanting a multi-touch glass trackpad for my desktop ever since the unibody MBPs first came out... it's the only thing that keeps my laptop open on my desk, and I really hope I'll be able to close it soon!
Read more carefully
Its not Gruber making the prediction about something being launched tomorrow. Its Fake Steve Jobs making the predictions. FSJ said even Gruber doesn't know its going to happen. Meanwhile, Gruber is being a dick and basically saying nothing is coming out tomorrow because there is nothing he doesn't know. Gruber is a well known ass hat.
Can't you people sense
Can't you people sense sarcasm? Gruber is just being facetious as usual. I wouldn't call it big news.
Although, lovin' the multi-touch mouse. Gimme some of that!

And yet, the irony is that
And yet, the irony is that Gruber has a significantly better track record than ANY of the Mac rumor sites (this one included), as far as correctly prognosticating Apple's product releases is concerned.
Finally
Powerbook G5! Tomorrow.
Multi-touch trackpad
IF the rumor of a multi-touch desktop mouse is true, it's what I've been hoping for for over a year and I'd rush to the Apple store immediately after the announcement to buy one!
