Just to clarify, Amazon is selling it new for $700, and J & R is selling it new for $650. I am selling it used (like new) for only $429.99, not to mention all the extra accessories. This is a 30-40% discount! The link to Amazon reflects these prices...

Indeed, there won't be a keynote from Steve, plus the focus will be shifted toward creative professionals (as opposed to the entire spectrum of users). I doubt there will be any major announcements.

Some consumers were confused between the 867 MHz G4 PowerBook (12") and the 900 MHz G3 iBook (12"). Apple undoubtedly wants to make the processor difference clear and would not like to see consumers "buying down." In turn, having both iBooks and PowerBooks with G4 processors could hurt some sales.

Considering that the desktop G5 needs 9 fans and 4 thermal zones, Apple would need to do some serious work for the G5 to fit into a thin and light enclosure.

It would be better if the two lower models are a bit less expensive. The G4 desktops should naturally be cut in prices accordingly. However, the top end G5 is well worth its price. As long as Apple puts on a compelling marketing campaign, there should be a lot of willing customers.

I find the Expose feature in Panther quite compelling. Another plus for increased productivity. As for the hardware, the specs are impressive. I suppose the lower two models could be a bit less expensive. As a sidenote, ZDNet posted a biased article about the event on their front page...

Apple's iPod page has a Quicktime image of the buttons lighting up.
