Apple told Gizmodo that its “holiday lineup is set”, meaning that there are likely to be no new Apple products announced this year. While this is not unexpected, as last week, Apple released a 27-inch iMac, a new Macbook design and the Magic Mouse for the holiday season, it does quell rumors about a tablet or six-core Mac Pro from Apple before the end of the year.
Rumors about a tablet from Apple have been abound all year and recently Bill Keller of The New York Times mentioned “the impending Apple slate” during his talk at Harvard University’s Nieman Journalism Lab, reviving rumors about the device.
Apple is also rumored to be testing the latest version of Intel’s Xeon CPU, a six-core version known as Gulftown, for inclusion in future Mac Pros. Gulftown will not be mass produced by Intel until Q2 in 2010, meaning that Apple may get to use the chips exclusively for a number of months if they include it in Mac Pros early next year.
