What a day!

Well, today Apple Recon officially blew up…we were the number one blog here at WordPress (even beat the venerable Scobleizer)!!! We do not take this lightly, and will have a brand new post up for everyone to read and Digg and talk about ASAP (by Wednesday morning at 8AM, pacific…we need some time to sort out all the tips we’ve gotten!).

But, as we are the anti-rumor site, to say the least, or the un-rumor site, or whatever you’d like to call us, we wanted to take a moment and THANK EVERYONE for reading, Digging, and posting comments and sending emails! There is LOTS more on the way (and we mean that, unlike others with their empty promises of more and then NOTHING…MOSR, we are talking about you here!!) and encourage everyone to take a look around the site here and read through some of the other stories we have (especially about the forthcoming tablet Mac).

So, THANK YOU for reading, and we’re on our way with lots more content!!

Yes, you can Digg this post too, but honestly, we’re not sure WordPress would like another day like today!! Let’s hold off for the next one, okay?

Apple Special Event on February 20

We have just gotten an anonymous tip from a source that indicates that Apple is planning a special event on February 20 to introduce Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), iLife ’07 and iWork ’07 as well as updated Mac Pros. Mac Pros will be available immediately with a free upgrade to 10.5 when it ships, and the ship date for 10.5 will be confirmed for 3/24/07 as we have been predicting for quite some time now. There is some speculation that we may see a week earlier or later for this event, depending on the status of Leopard, but this is the most likely date which is being planned (by this time, Leopard’s new interface will be complete and the OS will be finishing up testing). What better way to demo Leopard than with a brand new 8-core Mac Pro?

Many will remember that last year, not long after Macworld, Apple had a special event on February 28, 2006, to introduce new Intel Mac Minis and iPod HiFi (see their PR archive here).

The real question on everyone’s mind, however, is…
