Kasper JadeApple Computer is scheduled to host a special media event tomorrow afternoon on Manhattan's west side, the third such event in less than six weeks.
In a digital invitation sent to the media late last week, Apple said: "Please join us for a special press conference on the eve of PhotoPlus Expo 2005 as we unveil Apple's latest pro innovations."
The invitation is jet black and sports a large camera lens as a teaser. Earlier reports had hinted that a significant photography-related announcement would accompany the introduction of new PowerBooks and dual-core Power Macs at the event.
PhotoPlus Expo is also being held inside the Javits Center, running from October 20th through the 22nd.
Earlier this week Apple's 15-inch and 17-inch PowerBook G4 models saw lead times extended to 3 to 5 business days at the company's online store. Likewise, all Power Mac G5 models are also showing increased wait times.

Powerbooks! Finally!
*prays for 1920x1200*
(1st!)
addendum: It'll also be interesting where this alleged photo app is positioned.
Whether it's at the Photoshop-lite level or directly in competition with Photoshop.
My guess is that it will be focused on photography manipulation and less on production photo-quality or pixel-based artwork.
My guess is that it will be pro-level iPhoto. A way of managing your photo/art.
Something Photoshop is surprisingly poor at.

Just spoke to a mate who has signed an apple nda, we're in for more disappointment I'm afraid. Minor speedbumps, bigger HDs on the PBs, nothing else sorry. Pretty-much just speed-bumps on the PMs as well, nothing of any real interest. Sorry. Guess they're holding all the cool stuff back for the intels
All I'm lookin for the Powerbook is a higher screen res.
if they don't upgrade that . . . I don't know what I'll do . . .
Probably die of sadness.
iPhoto Pro to Photoshop as Motion is to After Effects, but not as Final Cut is to Premiére
