Breaking News: Apple forces me to get 4 more jobs…

It looks like Apple is putting the final touches on a brand new 27″ LED Cinema Display, as well as a fatty update to the Mac Pro lineup this June. The Mac Pro has been slated for a refresh for a while, and with the release of the i7 iMac, I would only assume the Mac Pro would be the next in line. It has been reported by AppleInsider that the Cupertino pimps will possibly be sticking with Xeon processors from Intel, supposedly the  Xeon 5600 Series “Gulftown” chips for the guts.

This beast is reported to be buffing up to a whopping 12-cores! At the moment, we are given the option for 4 and 8 core models, with this update it is rumored we’ll be seeing 6 and 12 core models available. With the chips Apple is reportedly going to be using, I would assume we’ll see a hefty price jump, but only time will tell.

Also in June, as I mentioned above,  Apple will be adding a bigger LED Cinema Display to it’s roster. Currently we have the 24″ model introduced back in 2008, we now will have a bigger sexier model measuring in at 27 inches and sporting a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution. It will contain similar components to that of the 27″ iMac recently released, but hopefully won’t mirror the problems we had with that model late last year.

So with these major upgrades to Apples roster, I’m assuming this will make the business world, as well as the fanboy basement parties very happy. We don’t have any pricing info yet, but with the release set for another 3 or so months, I’m sure we’ll be getting something soon.

iPhone 3GS camera outdated last year?

While there were many things announced yesterday at WWDC, several of those pertaining to the new iPhone 3GS, one in particular left me wanting more – the camera. The old iPhone 2G and 3G cameras were 2 megapixel shooters with nothing else to aid in mobile static image gathering. The new iPhone 3GS uses a *slightly* higher resolution 3 megapixel camera, except this time auto-focus, auto-white balance, and a few other small software tweaked features are also added. As soon as I saw the camera I thought to myself “That’s it?”. Do you find yourself asking the same question?

March 24th the magical date for new Apple products?

March 24th is the date for Apple junkies to mark on their calendars.  Supposedly that’s when Apple will hold their next event and showcase their newest iMacs, Mac Pro’s and Mac Mini’s to the world.  All I can say is I hope so!  The iMac’s are rumored to be getting updated Nvidia graphics like the Macbooks as well as possibly a quad-core option.  The Mac Pro’s are said to be receiving updated Xeon processors.  And the Mini?  More power?  More storage?  Start the guessing folks!  Apple hasn’t publicly announced anything yet nor sent out any press invites.  So here’s hopin’ for the best.
