Roadmap 2010: Mac Pro
First in our in-depth Roadmap 2010 series on new Macs due out in the near future, we dig into some of the best predictions available from both "inside" sources and grapevine consensus about the next-generation Mac Pro.

Major updates to Mac Pro and Macbook/Air/Pro lineups imminent
As Rumors has previously reported, a new generation of 32-nanometer Intel chips (Arrandale for mobile, Gulftown/Westmere-EP on the desktop) are ready for Apple to build several new Macs around. Several factors have kept Apple from being the first to adopt these chips, but sources now report that the time for their announcement is approaching.

Latest Mac OS X 10.6.3 beta suggests release imminent
A new test build of Mac OS X 10.6.3 has been seeded to developers, with known issues listed as “none.” This typically means that the build is a final test seed and barring major surprises, can be expected to be released in a matter of days.

What’s next for iPhone & other iDevices?
While we continue to wait for the next two major 2009 iDevice roll-outs -- an iPod Touch "S" with specs similar to the iPhone 3GS and an entirely new large-screen device often referred to as "iTablet" -- rumor and speculation about 2010 iDevices has already begun to ramp up with a vengeance. One of the rumors with the greatest backing evidence is that of 1080P HD video recording capabilities, followed closely by new, slightly larger iPhone/iPod Touch displays with higher resolutions.

WWDC Preview Part 3: iPod Touch, Other iDevices, One More Thing?
With time before today's WWDC Keynote growing short and breaking rumors of Steve Jobs' presence at the Moscone Center sending the grapevine into a frenzy, let's take a quick look at some of the less certain, but no less exciting, possibilities that we might see emerge into the light of day this morning (PDT)/afternoon (EDT) in San Francisco: new iPod Touch model(s), other iDevices ("iTablet"?!), and the ever-present potential for a completely unanticipated "One More Thing" -- potential that has just received a huge injection of probability if the Steve Jobs sightings at Moscone are what they appear to be.

Next-gen iDevice picture coming together
At the same time as developers and *ahem* "others" have been looking under the hood of Apple's developmental "iPhone 3.0b2" operating system to discover clues to what sort of next-generation devices ("iDevices" or iTouch Platform Architecture, "IPA;" call them what you will) this powerful new OS will be running on as soon as June or July....other pieces of evidence, both publicly known and in the "insider" realm, have also been coming together.We really, really like what we see coming down the pipe, and we think you will too.

Apple updates iMac, Mini today with nVIDIA chipsets instead of Intel
In a move that surprised even some of our sources and was in several key ways quite (but not entirely) contrary to our published projections as to the iMac's specs, Apple announced new iMacs and Mac Minis today.

iMac and possibly Mini to be updated at March 24th Apple Event
The grapevine has been set on fire this weekend by a breaking rumor, strongly suggesting from multiple quarters/sources that the much awaited "Nehalem" Core i7 iMac, and perhaps also a revamped Mac Mini, will be announced at an Apple Event on the 24th of this month.

Mac OS X 10.5.7 enters beta; broadly seeded to devs
As Rumors has recently reported, the development of Mac OS X 10.5.7 has been proceeding at a slow but steady pace...and in the past few days, has crossed over into "beta" status with a new build that has been seeded to the full developer community.

Will my GPU be fully supported by Snow Leopard’s OpenCL?
Wondering whether your Mac's graphics processor will support the full range of accelerated functions offered by the OpenCL general-purpose GPU computing technology in Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"? Our sources report on what GPUs provide the full benefits of OpenCL and which may not.
Will new iDevice features (Flash, multitasking) premiere first on Pro devices?
Recently, Rumors was among the first to report on references to an "iPhone 2,1" in last week's v2.2.1 iDevice OS firmware release, and suggest that this was almost certainly the forthcoming iPhone Pro. Now, along with emerging suggestions of a corresponding high-end iPod Touch, the grapevine is abuzz with rumors about background tasking, Adobe Flash and other features which may be tied to the powerful new "Pro" iDevice hardware.

OS X 10.5.7 nearing beta phase; supports new macs, bug fixes
Despite somewhat less hands-on time that we usually like to have in our first sneak-peeks of developmental Apple software -- particularly system updates -- we are taking a look under the hood of Mac OS X 10.5.7 which is fast approaching the 'beta' phase when it will be seeded to third-party developers for testing & feedback. Interestingly, our examinations turned up not just software dirt, but hints of what's to come for the iMac, Mac Pro & even Macbook Air.
