This should quiet those who have said that Apple doesn’t focus on the Mac enough. At least for a day or two.
Some are speculating already some new hardware to go along with this announcement. The only Mac really due for an update is the MacBook Air; I’m not sure if that would get rolled into this event or not. I’m guessing not, but it could go either way.
The real focus will be 10.7, of course. I can’t wait to see what they’ve cooked up for that. I expect a lot of design cues from recent iOS UI developments. Mail will get the iOS Mail look and feel, for sure. Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess. But considering how long Apple has let OS X sit still, I think they have to have at least something pretty big to say, or else why have a special event at all?
