Engadget reports this morning that Apple’s invitation only event slated for today in New York City will be to unveil the much rumored PowerPC G970 dual core chipped G5 towers. The event is taking place at the Jacob Javitz on the eve of PhotoPlus Expo and the rumor mill is also expecting new G4 PowerBooks with increased resolution displays. I suspect Apple will throw in some other goodies into the bargain to convince you to not wait for the first gen Intel products slated for June 2006 but everybody expects an announcement in January’s Macworld Expo. My recommendation is to sit tight unless you have machines catching fire and wait for the Intel generation which will make these G5s look like an Atari 2600.
