UPDATE:  “Our holiday line-up is set,” Apple spokesman Bill Evans told Macworld. 

We have some new rumors surrounding Apple and what they intend to do in the near future.  Dennis Sellers of Macsimum News has said that November 10th is the date of the iMac refresh of which is just expected a bump in specs and display power.  The other interesting refresh comes in the way of a new Mac Mini.  We have heard there would be a refresh, then it was put in the trash bin and now it comes back refreshed on the same date as the iMac.  The other tidbit is about a new Mac Pro coming at this years MacWorld Expo.  The Mac Pro is up on specs right now, but lacks the most current hardware and the new "Display Port" for the new cinema display line which makes this a very plausable rumor.

If you take all of this information into consideration, it is likely for Apple to do a stealth refresh of the iMac and Mac Mini and keep the Pro for MacWorld.  The interesting part is this would leave Apple with a huge hole to fill when it comes to their current Mac and refreshes for MacWorld in January.  Is a tablet coming? according to Stve Jobs, no.  We think there has to be something up their sleeve and we’ll just have to sit back and wait for the reveal.

  Apple recently released two new Mac switcher ads and this time bashes Vista for their advertising campaign in 1 ad and the second makes fun of them not referring to Vista as an OS, but refers to it just as Windows.  You have to give it to these guys in their persistant attack on Vista as it seems the ads are paying off.  Microsoft needs to come out with a counter ad to Apple, which makes them look good and not come off as copying what Apple has already done.  Microsoft should just incorporate their ads from their CES keynotes that they use internally and actually gain some ground.

  We have already heard rumors of the possible upcoming Apple event in October, but now we have a rumor that says the new Mac "Brick" as it has been called is a a new mac mini that looks like a pro version of the current mac mini.  The product which has been code named "brick" could also be the much anticipated tablet we all want.  

"iPhone Savior says that this "Mac Mini Pro" rumor comes "from sources that we were unable to confirm as completely reliable."

The mac mini is long over due for a refresh so this rumor holds some weight, just a little.

  We thought that yesterdays event was the big one for the end of the year from Apple.  Now comes a new rumor of an event in October on the 14th which will release new MacBooks and possibly our new Mac Tablet.  Well,  we’ll just have to hold out again for this one.
