Apple Tuesday: super special MacBook Pro, iPhone SDK... or nothing at all?

As you may or may not know, Apple has made some sort of announcement -- however minor -- every Tuesday since the beginning of 2008. The internet is currently stacked floor-to-ceiling with guesses of what this last Tuesday in February will bring. Many are speculating that it's going to be the often-discussed, never-seen MacBook Pro update, while others are certain that this will be the day old Jobsy unveils iPhone's supposedly-delayed SDK to the world. Still there are those who believe this Tuesday will see the launch of the Apple Robot Army, while many think that we're going to finally get a look at that iShrink shrink ray that's been long-rumored. Of course, it's possible this will be a heaping dose of iNothing. We want to know: what do the talented, handsome, and infinitely-wise readers of Engadget think we'll see tomorrow?

Funny, is there any other instance of such weekly hype and anticipation like this? Keep hoping guys...

(I'd like a MBP update)

[Anthony @ Feb 25th 2008 11:19AM]

I'm with you, let's keeps our fingers crossed for a MBP update. At least give us the new cool touch pad that the air got.

[AutoTom @ Feb 25th 2008 11:22AM]

yeah and i'd like my hernia to go away but we just cant have everything now can we Deven?

[ean @ Feb 25th 2008 11:33AM]

Maybe we finally get iLink: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jKclWxnz-Do

[Secret Squirrel @ Feb 25th 2008 12:52PM]

SHRINK RAY FTW!!!

[superfresh @ Feb 25th 2008 1:49PM]

So now we need a post that precedes the "Apple store is down! Oh boy, what's it gonna be?!" post with sticky note that we're sure to see tomorrow?

I have an idea... let's start predicting what next week's Apple update will be. And the week after that. Let's start predicting when they'll stop making Tuesday updates, and then let's predict when they'll start up again after they stop.

[James Mack @ Feb 25th 2008 9:41PM]

Windows security updates.

[uicandrew @ Feb 25th 2008 11:07AM]

i think it is going to be a robot army consisting solely of WALL-E's

definitely. controlled by a single updated MacbookPro

[R0B3RT @ Feb 25th 2008 2:00PM]

No i am going to say a large/small shrink ray/iphone though the robot armys not a bad idea.

[Jeff W @ Feb 25th 2008 11:07AM]

Mac Mini update please!

[chris @ Feb 25th 2008 11:13AM]

i'm the same, i don't have a mac, but am tempted to get a mini, but it's been a while since they updated, and the (integrated) graphics card is quite old, so i'm holding out still

[AutoTom @ Feb 25th 2008 11:23AM]

oh i'd just love to see them end the mac mini just to spite you!

i'm sure their appleTV sales would triple!

[Francis @ Feb 25th 2008 12:02PM]

That's very likely because iJustBoughtOne.

[JohnPQ @ Feb 25th 2008 2:06PM]

Agreed! Apple should show some love to the Mac mini. It's the number #1 selling desktop on Amazon for christ sake. Well at least at the moment. Enough of protecting that god ugly iMac Mr. Jobs.

[Jon @ Feb 25th 2008 11:09AM]

While I'm going to be watching and waiting for an updated/redesigned MacBook Pro, I think it's more likely to be another dose of iDisappointment...

[Kevin Starks @ Feb 25th 2008 11:10AM]

I got an iTunes update today i'm now running version 7.6. There's nothing different i can see but that means something is possibly coming

[BigBloke @ Feb 25th 2008 11:12AM]

Another Super Tuesday disappointment.

[AutoTom @ Feb 25th 2008 11:21AM]

isnt this the first 'super tuesday' ever?

it sure feels super

i'm going to stay up for this one... ( tommorow night.. its 3:21AM tuesday here.. )

[Homeboy @ Feb 25th 2008 11:45AM]

I second that. Further more I'm starting to suspect that Engadget are on an Apple payroll acting like an internet hype-man for Apple. They seem to turn every small Apple rumor into a big news.

[phanbouy @ Feb 25th 2008 1:59PM]

psst... hey Homeboy. I heard a rumor on the interwebs that you're repeating a whiny meme.

[LiqwidZero @ Feb 25th 2008 11:13AM]

Maybe we'll get a free wallpaper and screensaver of Steve to download!

:D

[Saad Rabia @ Feb 25th 2008 11:52AM]

That's $20; Thank you. :)

[Oinquer @ Feb 25th 2008 1:52PM]

own hehehe

[LiqwidZero @ Feb 25th 2008 2:29PM]

Well... Fuck!

[gieppeto @ Feb 25th 2008 3:07PM]

don't worry, they'll release a $25 version... the iWallpaper Plus!!!

[NHAnimator @ Feb 25th 2008 11:14AM]

Maybe a webcam that can track you when you move across the room. iBall?

[Oinquer @ Feb 25th 2008 11:23AM]

that already exists...
ohh im sorry its for Mac...

[AutoTom @ Feb 25th 2008 11:20AM]

ooh i like this one, creepy

[tradloff28 @ Feb 25th 2008 11:14AM]

I am waiting for the iSupposed mid-March Apple Event for anything worthwhile. Maybe we will see a flurry of new colors for the shuffle, Sea Foam green is one i've been waiting to see on those little guys. :-)

[Shannin @ Feb 25th 2008 3:16PM]

[Eugene @ Feb 25th 2008 11:14AM]

Updated frontrow to suit Apple TV Take 2 (Rentals/HD Rentals/New Look etc) :)

[Heathen @ Feb 25th 2008 11:15AM]

Or perhaps iSONY,
Or two mouse buttons on a new multi-touch MB-pro (please)

[imacmatt09 @ Feb 25th 2008 11:19AM]

I like having one button on my macbook. I can press the button anywhere to click. Plus to right click just put two fingers on the pad and click. I find doing this easier and better than having two buttons, but thats just me...

[BradVT @ Feb 25th 2008 12:34PM]

I agree, right click would be nice. If they're going to have you use two fingers to do it why not get rid of the button all together & use one finger to click.

[jollyllama @ Feb 25th 2008 1:16PM]

Gawd I get tired of calls for right-click on macbooks. Not only is it NEVER going to happen (since it would be ugly and decidedly un-Apple from a design standpoint), but most people who've used them and know about the two-finger click thing find that superior anyway. Steve, since I know you're reading this comment thread, please, KEEP IT TO ONE GIANT BUTTON. Thanks.

[ben @ Feb 25th 2008 4:14PM]

Mac will never ship anything with two buttons as default because having to hold down a key with your left hand before you click is _superior_.

[Heathen @ Feb 25th 2008 4:27PM]

JollyLama: That is stupid..
The touch pad plus click - sucks and is NOT superior. Holding one key down plus clicking sucks too... Style over substance sucks even more!

[Grant @ Feb 25th 2008 11:16AM]

iRobot Overlords?!?
i can only hope.

[sushi @ Feb 25th 2008 11:17AM]

a. new MacBook Pro
b. iMac spec update
c. Apple + Yahoo
d. None of the above

[AutoTom @ Feb 25th 2008 11:20AM]

e. bad post above

[sdh @ Feb 25th 2008 11:24AM]

An albino Domo-Kun is a very rare sight because of their sensitivity to the sun.

[HighTeckRedNeck @ Feb 25th 2008 11:18AM]

At last, we shall see the iToilet! With cutting edge patented iFlush action and a gorgeous iWipe module. The only downside will be having to ship the iToilet to a licensed Apple store for maintenance every time the iWipe module is soiled.

[Sam @ Feb 25th 2008 11:18AM]

Pippin 2!!!!

[Jason @ Feb 25th 2008 11:19AM]

please, dear god let it be a MBP update

[AutoTom @ Feb 25th 2008 11:19AM]

God here,

sure thing jason.

[steve @ Feb 25th 2008 11:26AM]

No Problem

[Jason @ Feb 25th 2008 11:29AM]

fantastic

[Fernando @ Feb 25th 2008 11:19AM]

iDontcare! LOL just jkn but I thought it would be funny though. Hopefully some iPhone sdk love with firmware update and some cool new software.

[AutoTom @ Feb 25th 2008 11:19AM]

lol so now its

'Apple Tuesday: ( insert theories )'
'Apple store down'
'nothing to see here folks / ZOMG teh ( insert high tech ifantasy eg. hoverboards)'

anyway yes, this is one of the most exciting 'happy Tuesdays' in a very long time, as i will be deciding whether or not to get a macbook pro based on the benchmarks of the new penryn chip.

[sdh @ Feb 25th 2008 11:19AM]

A slap in the face, a kick in the nuts.
