MacWorld Keynote Tomorrow
Don't forget to tune in to the MacWorld Keynote tomorrow at 6 pm Berlin time. As usual, there will be no live stream, but you can follow the keynote transcript live with pics at the known places, such as engadget, gizmodo, MacTechNews (German), and this year on MacRumors. As you have probably heard, although Steve is not giving the presentation, there are quite a few rumors surrounding the keynote, so that we are probably in for quite an interesting event. Read on to learn more.
The more notable rumors are:
- New nVidia chipset based iMac and Mac Mini
- 17" MacBook Pro with fixed battery
- Web-based iLife '09 and iWork '09
- Snow Leopard info and demos
- iPhone nano
- Multimedia Home Server
Some thought that Phil was holding the keynote to prepare a transition away from Steve Jobs. Others believed Steve was not healthy enough to do the keynote himself. Though many found it inconsiderate to speculate on Jobs' health, a letter from the man himself today revealed that this speculation was justified. On the positive side, the health issues are apparently not related to cancer:
For the first time in a decade, Im getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.
Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.
Ive decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.
As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008. The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors. A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority.
Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the causea hormone imbalance that has been robbing me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.
The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and Ive already begun treatment. But, just like I didnt lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apples CEO during my recovery.
I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apples CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.
So now Ive said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.
Steve
Though many are happy that Jobs is open about this personal issue, some do feel he should have come forth with it much earlier.
Anyway, hope to see you all online tomorrow for some speculating and discussing!
Enjoy :)
