Another Apple Special Event Coming Soon 58
Sabathius writes "Hard on the heels of the last 'Special Event,' Mac Rumors reports that Apple will make another announcement on the 25th of September just one day before Photokina, a world-wide a photography/imaging gathering in Germany. There are rumors of a new version of Aperture (based on the lens image on the invitation matching the one on the Aperture box), as well as the possibility of a MacBook Pro update."

Given that we are talking about a big trade show for photography professionals, I'd say that it is potentially a special event for those at the trade show.

I use my 8MP camera. it even has a document mode. and it takes less time to photo and upload than just for a scanner to warm up.
I can't see why anyone would buy a scanner any more unless it was a multi-thousand dollar model with all kinds of fancy auto-feed duplex-scan with built-in OCR and photocopy functions.
updated conclusion: home-use scanners are dead.

Any HP Office-jet comes with auto-feed duplex scanning, and built-in OCR, photocopy, and faxing.
I just bought an Office-jet 5610 for $119
That's why
Plus, getting the camera to line up is not where as easy as getting the scanner to line up.

Why would I want to have to take the time to ever so carefully position the camera directly purpendicular to the page and then edit the photo afterwards to remove the skew that would inevitably show up anyway, when I could just stick the page on a flat glass plate and hit "Scan"?

worst straw man ever.
why would I want an extra device to do this? taking up extra money, space, time, effort and not even being portable?

What do you mean? It's less of a hassle, because the scanner is already attached to the computer, and all you have to do is stick the paper in and hit "scan." And if you hadn't noticed, scanners have been really cheap for a long time now.
Now, if you're talking about having some kind of nomadic lifestyle, then yeah, your situation is different. But that just means you're weird!

ThinkSecret doesn't have any more info about it than that. TUAW doesn't have any more info about it than that. MacRumors and MacOSRumors don't have any more info about it than that. Most likely there *is* no more info about it than that.
Aperture update, and maybe the new MBP too. End of story. Next time, how about waiting until there's actually something worth discussing, mmmkay?

Absolutely. Apple is notorious for dropping production early and shipping the new product to the people who had ordered the old one, for the same price. It's a win-win situation: they get to avoid being stuck with a load of old product on hand, and the customer gets a better system than they expected.
