Notice that the "wallapaper" behind the Macbook Air in back is _not_ the standard Leopard wallpaper. This change is evidence (but not proof) of a new OS branding.

Cannot wait for WWDC 08!!! :D
MrPinchy (60 months ago | reply)
Jim Wallace - Actually it looks like it is the standard desktop background for Leopard Server, which is the same but with a blue hue.

Interesting to see the colour variance on the two sides. OS X iPhone on one, OS X Leopard on the other. The mac experience at the core. I like the message.
Certainly chimes with the rumors about Snow Leopard, about bringing the platforms together to form one, unified core out of which we get these two advanced OSes.

What happened to the “Mac” in “Mac OS X Leopard”? Hmm…

Mac would be used more for Macwold, this is WWDC and OSX is... well, the operating system and Mac is the hardware.
They should have a 3rd banner with the Apple TV on it? Or not.

Yes, but:

great..monday comes!!

Probably just a silly idea, but I find the removal of "Mac" could hint at a possible release of OSX for PC platforms.
That or they just rebranded it because, technically, the iPhone isn't a Mac.

Very cool!
GoSquared (60 months ago | reply)
Parasight - u have a good point, but I think it highly unlikely.
I think maybe more and more we will see Apple branding the hardware (computers) as Macs, the hardware (phones) as iPhone and the firmware as OS X.
Initially I wasn't sure how far Apple would go with the "OS X on iPhone" but now, in the eyes of developers, it is clear that Touch really is lining up to be the way of the future for Apple.

Only I see the iPhone too big?
Isn't the MBA too small?
Are we looking at the MacBook Mini?
Is this the new MacBook?

And just to complete the picture, that's Wall*e in the middle!
(Yes, I know it's just a vacuum cleaner, but it looks amazingly similar at a distance!)

The thing that stands out to me are the giant images of iPhones. If they were going to redesign it, I don't imagine they'd put giant pictures of the old style up on the walls. I realize they could just change them out later, but why put up something that you're going to replace a few hours later? Just to mislead people? I wouldn't put it past them, but my guess is that the new iPhone looks, from the front at least, just like the current one.

Some of the icons on the big MBA banner aren't familiar to me, like the iPhone with orange on the right. Could one of those icons be the AppStore icon?

macbooknero: The laptop is a MacBook Air in the pictures, but I wouldn't read anything in to the relative sizes.

whats the symbol next to the bars on the iphone? Is it an "E" for edge, or what?
defsixer (60 months ago | reply)
creeing: It's the WiFi signal, with 'AT&T' to the left of it.

Love that object on the floor, below the OSX Leopard sign. It looks like a droid. :-)

Jamie Phelps:
The App Store icon is shown to the left of that big green one.
I hope OS X iPhone 2.0 will ship on Monday ... I've been expecting the App Store for a long time.

I'm all set for Monday, but until I see a picture with the black cloth draped over a poster/banner, I'm keeping my composure.
